Hi Warriors,

i am building my list since a few months and my list has around 2900 Subscribers - the most Traffic i generated to build the list came through solo ads.

Everyone talk about ROI - but i've made the experience, that i only make money back through my sales funnel in rare times....

I've created a sales funnel which looks like this:

Squeezepage --> Thank you for signing up + OTO ($7) and if Subscriber buys --> Upsell ($97) if he doesn't buy, he will redirected to the download page.

My OTO is an ebook about contacting JV Partners for Traffic and the Upsell is a Traffic Report as well.

My questions are:
  1. How can i build my list without spending too much money on buying solo ads?
  2. I don't have a blog only my squeezepage, what kind of free traffic would you recommend to build a list fast?
  3. If i have $200 as budget for advertising per month, what Paid Traffic would you recommend for the best results - based on your experiences?
  4. I've created some FREE WSO to drive traffic to my page, is this method still working? I see so many FREE WSO - so i guess there will be a lot of people who know "maybe more than me" and they share almost all informations to their audience - so that no one needs my informations...

Thx for your help...
Allen

    Start a blog, use twitter cards, OR.... use a "send to subscribe" list (example below).

    Let's say your list name in AWeber is "mylist", if you emailed mylist@aweber.com then you'd send a subscribe request to that list (you'd have to confirm - double opt-in), but it's still a great tactic to build a list.

    For example an advert on Facebook, blah blah blah... Need more information? Feel free to email me at mylist@aweber.com.

    Why's that such a great method? Because the user will use their best email address 99% of the time as opposed to putting a spoof in your squeeze page.

      You have 2,900 subscribers. What are you doing for them daily? How are you nurturing your list?

      You have a good start and you ought to be selling to your list because they recognize the value of being on your list.

      If you don't sell to them, why even bother with a list?

    Why not use what you teach in your traffic report to build your traffic? JVs can be a wonderful and very cheap way to get traffic.

    You build your list quickly by going to where people gather as group in a particular area. By this I mean, you need to leverage other people's lists and efforts.

    You are one person and your circle of influence is very limited. I build relationships with affiliates and joint venture partners. One of my lists is what I call my jv list. I have a list of over 8,000 people that I have done some sort of joint venture with

    In this way I don't need to pay for solo ads and I only pay when a sale is made so I'm always making money instead of paying out money to build my lists.

    To make it easy, I developed my own software with not only an affiliate module but a partner module to make joint ventures very easy to do.

    That shows how much I rely on affiliate and partner traffic online.

    You should be using your own advice of your upsell report and do as many Joint ventures as possible.

    I hope this has been helpful,

    You are on the right track to massive success online my friend!!

    Let me help you out here:

    1 - How can i build my list without spending too much money on buying solo ads?
    2 - I don't have a blog only my squeezepage, what kind of free traffic would you recommend to build a list fast?

    - These are almost the same question, here is the answer for both:

    I would recommend you to learn multiple Internet Marketing Strategies. You can implement a lot of Forum Marketing, Article Marketing, Video Marketing, and Social Media Marketing.

    You can also learn and implement SEO to your videos online - rank them up in the search engines to get free organic traffic.

    I would recommend you to start building up your Facebook Network. I got a big following on Facebook and I get many leads for free from there alone.

    3 - If i have $200 as budget for advertising per month, what Paid Traffic would you recommend for the best results - based on your experiences?

    My best advice for Paid Traffic is always going to be Facebook PPC. If you know how to do it right, you can get clicks and leads for a couple of cents! ...

    But you GOTTA learn how to do it right, in order for you to not lose so much money when you are starting. Once you get it all right, you can be in profits every time you advertise on Facebook.

    4 - I've created some FREE WSO to drive traffic to my page, is this method still working?

    I have never done this here before. So, I wouldn't know what to tell you. I am sure someone will answer this for you.I hope this helps!! ..

    I wish you the best of the best!

    Keep up the great work! ....

    Cheers!

    Yeah a free WSO is still a good way to build your list, depending on your topic you can get subscribers for about $0,50 and the quality of the subscribers are higher from my experience than solo ads.

    Solo ads can work but are a bit tricky, you need to make sure not to buy from sellers who built a list just so they can sell solo ads. Make sure the seller is a product creator and has buyers on his list. You'll pay more but with a good funnel you'll make more money and build a higher quality list.

    For free traffic you can use Youtube videos and start ranking videos with very low cost or 0 cost.
    you can also use Forum post. Ad swaps,Clickbanking,Give aways methods etc..

    There are tons of free traffic methods.If you need help just send me a pm

    But if you want to spend $200 per month then you must look at Facebook PPC (always use custom audience),Banners or Bing ads (also cheap traffic)
