Co-Reg leads - Should I Consider Using These?

As in anything else, it depends on the source (which service or provider) and the user (ad copy, sales funnel) etc.

The source I use is Get Subscribers - works well. Get 10-20 leads per day from it and they convert.

Another co-reg provider I use is List Crew.

Your question is similar to: "Should I run a full-page ad in a magazine promoting my product? I've heard conflicting reports about results people have gotten".

Overall, it's hard to get both advertising methods to work. You need a really strong, proven sales process, with a back-end product(s) in the mix to recover your ad investment.

And, just like with magazine advertising, different co-reg sources are better for certain products than for others.

If you're having trouble making sales as it is and are hoping that co-reg will help you make money, I'd say it's unlikely. If you're already making good money with your sales process, adding co-reg may be worth testing.

I use get subsribers also, i find them very responsive. I suppose it depends what offer is on the table though.

It really depend on your market and your products and the quality of the leads.

I've had mixed results using List Opt.

These are expensive leads and unless you have a proven salesfunnel that converts well with standard traffic sources you can burn through money very quickly.

It definitely is worth a test.

Buy 500 leads and track vigorously. See how it does and then decide.

Testing is the only way to know for sure. Don't listen too much to other people.

Co-reg is a little like PPC - test out a lot of sources, just like buying lots of keywords on PPC, to find the winners and the losers. Usually the losers will outnumber the winners, but if you keep the winners, the positive results will last for months and years.

One reason why many don't succeed with co-reg is because some autoresponder company says you shouldn't do it. And because they are using only that autoresponder company, they have to follow the rules of that one service.

BUT, if they use two or three autoresponder services, they have more rules, options, and marketing weapons to play with.

It is like a soldier who has only a pistol in his arsenal against a soldier who may have a pistol, grenades, and a rifle.

More weapons, more resources to play around with.

Hi Steve,

The best results come from building real relationships in business based upon trust and friendship. The other methods are mostly without royalty and let you down when the pressure is on. It takes time and effort, but it is the stable way to go. It is not easy, but the most rewarding. When someone else builds something, it is usually to suit their own needs and not with you in mind. Regards and have sucess. Chris

Fabian,

Do you know how much I can expect to spend to test out these Co-reg companies you listed?

I want to test some out but don't have much to spend.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve,
ALL of the info you have received so far is very very good advice. As Christopher mentioned a double optin list you build on your own is THE best way to go but it takes a lot of time.

Co-Reg can jumpstart things for you and if you decide to give it a try I recommend you work the list just as you would self built list ... use a lot of warm up time and be consistant with good info. The rewards will come.

That said ...

Many of my clients have used NitroList Builder and I have heard nothing but good feedback. No, I haven't tried them but the volume of good reports I've heard speaks for itself. Pricing varies based on what you want ... have a look here:

Opt-In Leads | Fresh Email Leads | CoReg Leads | Business Opportunity Leads | Home Business Leads

Hope this helps!

Hi SMP

First, Thanks for your post.

This has been a problem of mine too.

Last May I received thousands of email addresses with complete information and even the IP address they have when they signed-up. I knew that it came from some co-reg but I wouldn't know what site for sure because I got it as an add-on for signing-up on some program.

The marketer who gave it away is quite trustworthy but I haven't decided yet on using it up till now.

This is mainly because I was worried of the "YOU KNOW" thingee..

The answers in this thread gave me some courage to take action regarding this matter..

For several months now I feel I've been sitting on a gold mine but can't touch it for fear of being charged with you know.....

My add on question here is that is it enough to have the IP address used when the email address signed up and not know the exact site where they signed up..

Hope anybody can give input regarding this..

also Fabian thanks for the useful post..

Best wishes to everybody

I bought a list of 100,000 from NitroListBuilder for $1000 several years ago and it wasn't worth it, in my opinion.

I had a highly targeted 7 day email course written for me by a well-known internet marketer at the time to send them. After that I did a broadcast to them once per week with more high quality free information, free gifts, and other freebies and sometimes an affiliate offer or something else that would make me money.

Sure I made some money from them here and there, but I don't think I ever even made it to the break even point. And I had to pay a bunch of money every month to use the autoresponder service that would allow me to import co-reg leads from NLB. After about 6 months or so I cancelled and the list was gone.

Of the 100,000 about 25,000 either opted out right away or were never working email addresses in the first place. Another 15,000 or so opted out over time. I think there were still 60,000 on it when I finally gave it up.

Now, to be fair, I was far from being a master email marketer at the time and still am not. It's just never been my thing. I'm sure someone with more experience in email marketing could have done better with the list.
