Selling to 140000, without annoying them?

I've got a good friend who's great at building lists, and pretty terrible at making money from them. I'm trying to help him make a bit of money from all of them. They are focused on a wide range of niches, but mainly online networking / SME / recruitment.

I'm trying to help him make money from these lists - but without annoying anyone. They are mainly professional people on these lists, so they have money to spend, but are unlikely to want to buy 2nd rate clickbank products.

What would you suggest he sells to them? I guess it's going to be best to go for high-quality affiliate products. Any good suggestions?

    Nobody can answer that question until you tell us what they signed up for. What was the inducement or the offer they signed up to get? This will indicate what they're interested in receiving more information about.

    Or are these names that have been compiled from association lists? Or the phone book? If they've just been gathered from miscellaneous sources, they're probably pretty nearly worthless. I'm guessing from your description that they're better than that, however, so if you know what their interests are, you may be on to something.

    Cheers from warm and smiling Thailand,

    hi guys

    I always have a three message rule - in other ways the third message should always be an offer and in between you have to offer them amazing advice and tips that they need or want.

    But with your friends list if he has burnt it out by offering rubbish or not contacting his list at all you will find that they may be unresponsive.

    kind regards

    Isn't it obvious? They are proud business owners who would look down at cheaper items disbelieving their capabilities. And they also afford top-end and top-quality products and services. Sell them what they want - not what you have. Take the pain to locate what they want (high-end products that would separate them from the ordinary 2-cent buyer) and sell them. They are happy, they are better served and you make more money. Everyone is happy.

    My bottom statement is that, don't sell artificial stones to people who can and want to afford the real gold and diamonds.
