Email List... What to do?

6 replies
Let's say I've got an email list of 10,000 people in a very specific niche, such as Plumbing in the UK, how would I go about selling emails on this? As in Solo Ads?

Just really stuck. It's easy selling solo ads for IM/Gambling/Weight Loss etc. Just stick a thread in the JV forum on here and bobs your uncle. But how do you do it for more specific and less common niches.

Thanks.

    'Let's say I've got..." lol. So basically, I haven't, but am slowly growing a few lists in less common niches and in a few months, if they continue at the current rate, 1 will hit 10000 so just want to know what the best move is in terms of selling solo ads on them. Where to do it etc.

    Did you have any marketing plan before you start building your list?

    If you have very specific niche market it easier to sell them something. Offer them products or services that solves their problem. Make a good copy for your email marketing offers.

    Yeah. Plan. Build big lists... Sell solo ads. Simple as that.

    Well not that simple. I've always planned to build lists and then these lists seem to be taking off with a method I've used to build them and well... I want to know what is the best way I can profit from these lists and to me, the best way is with Solo Ads.

    Just don't know where to sell solo ads.

      So you're looking at "renting" your list out to people who operate in that market, by charging them for a solo mailing to your list? I think.

      Well, using your example of "Plumbers in the UK", I'd say check out Yellow Pages and just contact plumbing companies and independent plumbers in that section of the directory.

      You might even run your own small ad, selling you ad services.

    Taking the plumbing example.

    Let's say you've got 10,000 subscribers, why not contact plumbing supply websites, and tell them I have a proposition for you - I'll send my list an email promoting your company for £X amount.

    If you've got the ability to segment your list by location, then you can get in contact with local businesses, telling them I have a list of 10,000 people in the same line of business as you, of which 3200 are in a 50 mile radius from your company. You can promote your company through my list for £X amount.

    Just an idea.
