What size email list yields results?

I'm sure a lot depends on niche, content, strategy, etc, but generally speaking, what size email list typically leads to success? Success being $100 or more per day.

Thanks!

    There are so many variables that it's really hard to answer that question. A lot depends on how you got your subscribers and your ability to market to them.

    The type of list that will bring you the most success is the list of subscribers which are your customers = buyers list. It's very possible to generate $100/day on average if you jut have a couple of hundred subscribers. But to put a number on it is impossible.

      Any size list has the potential to yield results. As Jens said, there are too many variables to put a number on it. If you have a small list of hungry buyers just waiting at their inbox for your great content, then you will see results. If on the other hand you have a giant list that you haven't nurtured, well you will be disappointed. Good luck.

    Size is irrelevant.

    It truly is.

    A tiny list of quality can easily outpull a list of superior quantity.

    (You can go out and buy 100,000 leads tonight. But the issue is that these leads typically won't be as valuable as someone that is a raving fan, and someone who you know like the back of your hand).

    Quality, influence, relationships are superlative.

      The old philosophy used to be that you could rely on your list creating about $1 per subscriber per month. So if you had 100 subscribers, you'd be looking at about $100 bucks.

      However, that line of thinking really doesn't hold much weight if you've got crappy freebie seeking leads, or they simply aren't feeling a good connection with you.

      i.e. All you do is keep sending out offer after offer..(bad karma) You really have to strive to build a good relationship with them, and earn their respect, to have them feeling good about spending money with you.

      There's many variables, so it's bit of a tough question to answer.

      That said, there's a lot of people who earn much more than that...with tiny lists.

      If you really want to learn the craft of email marketing well, I'd suggest you look into a course like Autoresponder Madness from Andre Chaperon, or something similar.

      There certainly is some good trial and error involved to learn how to do it well.

      I totally agree! I went for 4 months with the same 300 subscribers..made a video series..followed up with them letting them see my face.. building trust..not promoting but asking questions. Once you see better open rates, clicks and responses you can ride that wave to the $$$!

      example:
      Day 0: Subscribers receive their FREE gift immediately after optin.
      Day 1: I followup with a personal video and ask did they receive their gift and how they plan to use it.

      It just makes sense to try and connect with them. That alone asks for engagement which you definetly need from your list.

    Not just "a lot", but "virtually everything".

    $3,000 per month on average, over a period of time, (which is a much more realistic way of looking at the income than "$100 per day") can certainly be achieved with a list as small as 1,500 if they're really well targeted and responsive enough. That won't be anywhere near the average, though. The average isn't really measurable because of all the people with lists of 10,000+ who don't even earn that.

    Here's the key concept: in statistics (and in reality!) "averages" are pretty meaningless, when the relationship between the two parameters from which they're derived (in this case "subscriber numbers" and "average monthly income") is a non-linear one.

    Also, there are marketers with open rates below 5% (frightening though that sounds!), and there are marketers with open-rates above 80%.

      .
      So so so true. Statistics of the average have deprecated values when the volatility of their parameters and coefficients are high.
