    You have to send them tips and free contents everyday and promote product every week and try to grow your list by doing clickbanking or adswaps because I think 89 people is not that much.
    Btw what is your niche ?

    You need to engage and grow.

    I'd need to know more about your list to give you specifics. I like to start out by offering them something they cannot find elsewhere and deliver it via a 3 to 7-day course. I'll then provide useful information on a regular basis (and I mean regular: set days). At the same time, I'll concentrate on growth.

    This depends on your business type and quality of the 89 active people. If the 89 active people are not enough for making a good living. You need to increase amount of people in your own list.

      Well 89 is just a to small list, you need atleast 107 people in your list to make any decent money. So keep building your list.


      edit: Hello Himanuzo, didnt first see you. How are you mate? Done any spaming lately?

        What? Where did you get 107 from? I'm sorry but you clearly just made that number up in your head. Never heard of that before.

        This guy is seeking help from us, please don't be telling people things that are just plain false, that's not what this forum is about.

        Honestly mate?????

        This guy is in here asking a legitimate question, and you tell him that if he adds 18 more subs his whole business will change.

        Something actually helpful would be good mate

          Well, to be honest that is not a very big list. I know it is not the size that matters, but with that small of a list, you would have to work miracles. Not impossible, but highly improbable. That being said, I think I can help you to get where you are trying to be and beef up your list to a bigger and profitable list. I sent you a PM with more info. And even though you said, you will pay, I am not looking for pay to help you, but just trying to pay it forward and backward for the help and direction I have received in the past.

    You have to tell something more about you.
    If 89 of your list are active, it can help you a lot with some strategy.

    All you have to do is "To be in touch with them often".

    You asked about paying someone to help you. And, possibly there is already a similar service for 'coaching' listed on the Warrior forum that would benefit in that regard. Best of luck with the situation. As others suggested, you need to grow your list with more active/interested people. Still it's a good start, so don't despair.

    Hold your fire !

    Don't just spam you group with Clickbank offers.
    You need to build up trust first. As everyone said already,
    start off by giving them tips and tricks not just cheesy ebooks...
    Once you build up some form of creed with your subscribers then
    you go ahead with the email swipes from Clickbank or some other
    affiliate products/program/ etc.

    Also 89 is no much but, if they're 100% active then
    you might just as hit the jackpot or your niche is super
    targeted.

    Don't bother sending tips and information. If you send them IRRESISTIBLE offer. They will buy it! but you seem to have limited products. Find other products to promote but DO NOT promote someone else's jvzoo or warrior payment or w plus offer.... Other person will get your clients email.. bombard with emails..

    Client points finger at you for sending them there...

    Just negotiate product with creator.. then don't let the product creator see dawn of emails of your clients. Let them access sales data using vendor software.

    Hey mate,

    First thing first,

    That does not sound stupid at all, everybody in here was a beginner at one stage or another.

    You already have everything you need to get started, work your butt off everyday to build that list bigger

    And offer them real value, whether that be free, paid, whatever, does not matter

    If they see real value, they open more regularly, and that is half the battle won right there

    And stick to it, it works, maybe not tomorrow, or next week, but eventually it will pay off faster than you ever thought possible

    Hope that helps

    p.s A word of advice mate, don't post in this section offering to pay people money for help, you will get all sorts of idiots trying to scam you out of your money. If you need legitimate help, do some research on who the best marketers are in your chosen niche, and see if they have a coaching program that you can join

    Great advice on here. Just make sure not to OVER sell and to always give, give, give way more before you ask.

    When I first got started I asked way more then I gave and burned my list. They became non responsive.

    Don't become a part of the "My List Hates me" Club.

      8900?? Not at all needed. Here are some tips guys:

      Actually here is the #1 tip. You DONT need a big list. Ever hear of that $1 per subscriber 'rule'? Its garbage. If your only making $1 per sub on your list you suck at email marketing.

      Honestly if you cant get the average person on your list to spend $5 per month on your promos (the price of a happy meal) than you need to get back to basics. If your 1/2 decent you should be able to get the average active person to spend $10 per month on your promos.

      89 subs is not much, however if you can get just a couple hundred responsive people that you have a good relationship you can make really good money. You DONT need a huge multi thousand email list.

        I make less than $1 per sub, but I'm emailing multiple 6 figures worth of leads every day giving them what they want -- and I don't suck at email marketing.

        And that doesn't make the hundreds and thousands of people who also make less than $1 per sub but are feeding themselves or their family while doing so suck at email marketing either.

        I'll bet (actually it's a fact) there are multi millionaires who make a lot less than $1 per email per month and while according to you they suck at email marketing - they don't suck at making money with email.

        Depends on the list, the revenue model, and other factors as well.

        I hope this guy, while he's trying to figure out how to cultivate a list who spends $10 per subscriber on average, also works at getting anything over $0.01 per subscriber or more too because it all adds up.

        This. 100%, I hate the trash $1 per sub myth.

        $10 per subscriber should be average if you know what you're doing.

          This is an exception, not the norm.

          Like I said in my last reply. It depends on your revenue model, the niche, etc.

          There are people that know more than the most advanced email marketers in here who make more in a day than most people contributing to this thread make in a month and don't even come close to $1 per sub per month - let alone $10.

          It's something to aspire to depending on your niche and how you market, but don't think you can't become extremely successful with email marketing if you never hit that $10 per sub per month - or even $1 per sub.

            I get that it is an exception and not the norm. I'm saying it should be the norm honestly.

            People do email marketing so wrong...just so wrong.

            It can be achieved in almost any niche...

            As for the revenue model I guess you simply mean sales funnel. People's funnels suck mostly because they are lazy, incompetent, and ignorant towards the methods that really bring in the income.

            They build a list with solo ads and spam their list with affiliate offers. which first off is a huge mistake because they should be creating and selling THEIR OWN products.

            Then the big thing these days is people are learning to "build a relationship" which is good in many ways but that still won't be enough to actually create some REAL income.
            [I mean 'REAL' income by the $10 subscriber mark+]

            You need to convert those new subs into buyers and I don't care if they are sold a $100 product or a $1 product...as long as you convert them and get them to make any kind of payment they are worth x10 more to you from that immediate moment.

            Don't even get me started on the crap PLR free gifts people use to get optins in to their list...anyways I'm off on a tangent.

            Sad thing is most people say "well crap, I'm happy if I can get $1 per month. I'll just get 10,000 subs in my list" Which is cool and all but I'd rather concentrate on creating a SOLID self-liquidating funnel that converts freebie seekers into buyers and buyers into frequent buyers and then let them climb "the value ladder" into higher end products etc.

            Then once I know the funnel is solid i'll concentrate on building tons and tons of subscribers...but for most they do that part first and create a crap sales funnel but concentrate on building thousands of subscribers.

            It's all quite sad.

              A lot of what you say makes sense, but it doesn't apply to everyone (myself included) and everything and is certainly not the only or the end-all be-all of making money online.

              For anyone in here reading this and are intimidated by the whole "you suck at email marketing if you can't make more than $1 per month per subscriber," don't worry - you can still succeed beyond your wildest dreams making plenty of "REAL INCOME" whether or not you ever achieve the $10 per month per subscriber.

              Don't back yourself into a corner and think you can't succeed bc people are saying if you don't hit that magical number they are speaking of that you suck and can't still make it work.

              It's just a number. Something to shoot for as a goal, but you can do just fine without it ever happening.

                Well hopefully people (maybe yourself included) don't get butt-hurt by what I and the other guy above has said.

                I rescind what I have said about "REAL INCOME" because that would be relative to the person making it. So yes for me "REAL INCOME" would be considered at least $10 per subscriber...for someone else it could be $0.50 per subscriber.

                All I was trying to say was most people are doing email marketing wrong in my eyes and majority of the people who make LARGE amounts of money from email marketing.

                $1 per subscriber per month [recurring] is nothing to smirk at, that is good income to anyone doing it.

                Basically, I just wish people weren't as lazy in this industry and worked to make more quality products and engage/grow relationship with their list amongst other things like create their own products etc.

                It would literally skyrocket their income from $1 average to something along $10+

                The reason this industry has the $1 average is because people bring down that average because they don't entirely know what they are doing and if they would take the time to create a higher quality funnel then it would make a huge difference.

                My whole thing is I don't want people thinking $1 per sub is typical because by NO MEANS does it have to be...

                  My butt doesn't hurt. You're just making it seem like its the only way and people who don't know any better will take what you and Brutecky are saying as gospel - when in reality it isn't.

                  Then when they go out and fail miserably hitting only $0.89 per sub per subscriber they may feel like they are failing when in fact they will be succeeding simply because they read this thread.

                  If you guys are achieving that number, then kudos to you. But it doesn't make people suck at email marketing, as you put it, if they aren't.

                  Also, not everyone wants to create their own products either. They are fine with splitting the revenue with the vendor and not having to deal with anything post sale other than collecting their commissions.

                  That "$1" number many gurus always talk about in their marketing isn't even the industry average. It's a hypothetical number that makes doing math for people reading their offer a lot easier.

                  I'm not sure what the industry average is, and I don't care. It boils down to net profits no matter how one goes about achieving it.

                    In my opinion, a more important number to consider than the monthly income per lead is the profit. For example, how much are you paying per lead, how much profit and return on investment are you getting etc.

                    If your paying $3 per lead and your making an average of $1.50 per lead per month then that's excellent.

                    Or if your paying $20 per lead and earning $10 per lead per month then that's also good.

                    But if your paying $10 per lead and only earning $1 per lead it's not that good because it would then take 10 months to see a profit.

    I am willing to help, I can give you my skype and we can chat there.

    My recommendations.

    1. Grow your list.
    2. Provide value to them such as articles, videos, courses, etc based on the niche that you are in.
    3. Promote affiliate offers related to your niche, but dont blast them email after email. Because after long it will make your list absolutely DEAD.

    Anyways PM me if you need any help.

    Great job on growing your list!

    I hate to say, but 89 people is NOT that much.

    You need to expand and grow your email list.

    Give yourself a target #, say - 1,000 - and go for it!

    Many people are now using www.clickonomy.com for Solo Ads - the site is run by Anik Singal and 100% safe. Also has many niches OUTSIDE of IM and PD

    Don't ask yourself what you can do to monetize your existing list - it's going to be difficult

    Ask yourself how you can GROW your list to the next level! :-)

    So you only have 89 people on your list? That is not good.

    The key thing with an email list is that you need to get new and fresh subscribers all the time. A lot of people make the mistake of building 50-300 subscribers and then stop. Then they wonder why they are not making money.

    If you want to do really well with email marketing you need to:

    1. Get new subscribers on your list every day without stop.

    2. Don't just promote to them all the time. Give them value.

    • I usually will set the auto-responder to take care of the first week or so of emails (usually the initial email with a free e-book), then a follow-up email a couple of days later. With the second, I usually only send a link to my website, or maybe an article I have written or something in the second email. A 3rd 2-3 days later with maybe another freebie. Then a couple of days later a link to a product I am trying to sell. Then another email, etc.

      After the first week to 10 days of emails, I will take it over with listing blasts no less than once a week, no more than every couple of days.

      Some people say that it's best to email the list everyday, and I guess different things work for different people - so, a lot of it is just judging your list, what they want, and when they want it.

      Good luck!

    Hey! Just wondering, how you know that your 89 subscribers are active? What I'm asking is whether or not they are actually buying or replying back to or in some way responding. What are your open rates for emails? All that determines whether or not your list is active.

    If they're not doing at least one of those things, then you need to rethink your email list building strategy to get better quality leads. If you have all of that already with such a small list, then just start feeding good information into those daily emails and start building trust with an occasional product recommendation.

    Build a relationship with them. Start posting on your domain (a blog) and send emails to your subscribers every day with links to your blog, or maybe just text emails filled with useful info, tips and so on. They should start liking you, that's the goal here.

    Every 3-4 emails, make a soft sell. For example, if you send a mail that gives them tips on how to do so and so, at the end of the email, tell them to check out a product (affiliate product or your product) that would explain the process in detail. You could directly connect to the product's sales page, but sending them to a review you made on the product (either on your blog or on youtube) will get you more conversions.

    Don't over think it. Just start doing and you'll learn along the way. I built my first 100 subscribers in my niche within a couple of days, but I was clueless on how to connect with them, so I basically wasted the leads. So don't waste your time thinking about what to do while your leads get cold. Just start sending them something useful.

    Hi AcceptFacts,

    the #1 suggestions i can give you is to stay away from clickbanking or adswaps if you want a high responsive list.

    these kind of subscribers are good for biz opp offers, but not for affiliate or IM offers.

    Instead of clickbanking or adswaps stick with facebook ads, bing ads or creating products which you sell on the Front end very low and have a Salesfunnel - on this way you build a buyers list

    If you want to make money and build your list too, i recommend you my new WSO which i will launch this month - it's about CPA marketing and building your list - and how to tread your list to make the most money with it.

    Have a nice day
    Allen

    Just keep engaging with your list everyday, building that relationship and keeping them active subscribers. Obviously grow your list at the same time and continue to build that relationship, through tips, offers etc.

    Write an email follow up sequence to automate some of the process so you can concentrate on getting more traffic and a bigger list.

    Are the 89 responsive? To chime in with everybody else in here, I will say to keep sending them content about once a week.

    For those who respond, find out what they are looking for.

    Buying solo ads centered around your niche will help grow your list. You are off to a good start though. Keep moving forward.
