Best way to build a buyer's list?

14 replies
Just seeing what your best method for building a buyer's list is.

Do you just get a buyer's email when they purchase through paypal (or others), or give them the option to subscribe to an "updates and bonuses" list on the thank you page?

I would think having them automatically added to your autoresponder after they purchase would be ideal. But not everyone does it this way.

    Every one of my sales/customers is sent to a sign up page where they confirm the purchase with their email address.

    Been doing it that way for 5 years with no problems.

    Use a script like $7 dollar secrets, or RAP.

    These are scripts you can use to make a buyers list, even if affiliates promote the products for you.

      I learned the hard way that autoresponders sometimes fail. I lost my entire list when my autoresponder went offline without notice.

      Here is one way to keep expenses low while you build up your income to be able to afford the monthly expense of an autoresponder like aweber. Keep a spreadsheet with customer information (and keep an external backup of that spreadsheet at Mozy free version).

      When you want to send a message to a group based on the product purchased, it is a simple matter of sorting the spreadsheet data by product, copying the email addresses of the product group, and pasting them into the bcc (blind carbon copy) field of an email. Send the message to yourself, from yourself, and all emails remain confidential to the recipients.

      It is a simple system, but it works well for those on a tight budget.

      If you use e-junkie for delivering product, you can download a file containing all your customer info, including email, by product and use that as your spreadsheet. That is a real time-saver.

      Using the 7 dollar script is a very effective way of building a list because the script lets you collect the email addresses of your customers and you can motivate affiliates to virally help build your list for you.You should be able to collect the email addresses of buyers driven to your site by your own efforts as well as the efforts of others (who are rewarded for so doing).

      You are not restricted to selling your products for just $7. You can sell for any price you like and the script comes with many features such as One Time Offer capability to upsell to your customers.
      I would imagine RAP works in a similar way but I have no personal experience with this script.

      There are some downsides to using the 7 dollar script -You can see a fuller review at my site below (see signature). For the
      moment you can also get a free copy of the 7 dollar secrets report and free download of the script from my site. Opt in is required as this is a valuable download.I don't however blast you with offers but I do try to help you get the most out of using the script and help get you access to the user forum et al. I am however seriously considering changing my model from a free giveaway ( yes honestly, this is not a false statement to make you take action). Very probably I will soon be charging for the script so if you're reading this post in a few days or weeks time and I've finally got round to doing this sorry if you missed out. If this is the case as a Warrior if you're serious send me a pm and reference this post -I'll see what I can do to get it to you for free.

      All the best,
      Paul

        Well, my head is about to explode.

        And I heard it was paypal and someone else told me it was paypal, lol, I need links and verification.

        Is is legal to ask for optin information before delivering product after they have paid for it?

        If anyone here has any links on the subject, please post them.

    Depends like always,

    You could collect their info and warm them up first that way those people who visit your site can be sold later on

    or if you just want strictly buyers list then getting them to "register" first before their product download or access will be better.

    Or you could do both but the bottom line is just build the list.

    Place an opt-in form on the thank-you page. Let them know by signing up they will receive lifetime upgrades & bonuses and you will be sending them more free quality info ( IM Niche - Free content on other ways to make money online )

    Using aweber you can't automatically parser them onto a buyers list from your prospects list.

    Using the method above seems to be working fine for me.

      Add them to a new list, and use the Aweber feature 'automatically remove the customber from the old list, when they join the new list.

      So you have 2 lists, one for subscribers, one for buyers. (the aweber automatic remove from list feature enables this).

      Cheers

    You can use DLguard which allows you to add buyers to an email list after they have purchase rather than asking them to optin. That way every buyer would be a subscriber too.

    I use GetDPD.com to deliver my digital goods and it automatically adds the buyers to an email list (currently limited to Aweber and Mailchimp) but they are not required to confirm. (I think the FTC okays this if they make a purchase... It must be cool if the two strictest ones allow it).

    However, I mainly use Imnica so I also had some products set up that have the opt-in on the thank you page and its almost just as effective.

    A technique that works good building a buyers list is offering 100% commissions using RAP, the $7 script, Payspree, or DigiResults.

    Good Luck

    the best way is to get your customers to subscribe to your aweber before purchasing.

    after all they want to be your clients, they want your product, so for sure they will be happy to subscribe, it takes 5 seconds
