Promoting to Your List

There are tons of different strategies available online. Personally, I send out a newsletter every 4-7 days, most of which contain useful info and free offers. Every 3rd or 4th one I'll recommend a product that I've tested myself, never market something you haven't tried yourself (just my opinion). From my experience, using my list as an example, for every 80 subscribers I generally make around $20. This varies of course, but depending on your strategy this can be less or more.

Hope that helps.

Ask yourself:

What can you *offer* that will make people *want* to spend their money on you....to "keep the cash rolling in"?

Give your list what they want, and you'll be on the right path.

For the dog training niche, I'd have several products I could promote - membership sites, ebooks, dog accessories from eBay/Amazon/etc., CPA stuff, etc.etc.etc.

Clicker training is popular in some dog training niches as Cesar Millan is popular in others. He has name-brand products too you can promote.

Hope that helps!

Even if google slaps your site,
Even if your hosting service shuts down for 2 days,
Even if IM changes it's pattern overnight.........

..............and soooooooo on......

Your list is only yours and only your trusted prospects that'll always be with you....

I've read some stories that emails convert upto 40% whereas through site visits, coversion rate is 1% to 5%(max).

If you promote a 47$ product with 75% affiliate commission, your list of 100 people should bring you 40 x 47 x 75/100 = 1410 Dollars

Even if your list converts 1%, you get 1 x 47 x 75/100 = 35.25 Dollars
With a List of 1000, you earn $353.50 with 1% conversion rate.

Got the value now?

The best way to build list?-

1. Forum signature links.
2. Article writing.
3. Ad swap.
4. Solo ads.

Unfortunately, it's not too much free. #4 of the above works the best.

All the best buddy.

The key here is value, you have to provide them with good free info so they keep subscribed to your list.

You have to build credibility first, they have to see you as a good advisor.

Train them to receive your messages and then start offering them good products. But do not offer products just because of the commission. Send them good offers, products that will help them.

If you train them to receive good free info and good product recommendations, they will open your emails and follow your advice buying the products you recommend.

As it's often said, the money is not in the list, is in the relationship you have with your list.

wow it is so amazing for me. I have never known this information. Thanks all guys.

Yes, it is possible to average $1 per month per subscriber, but you need to be quite good with your emails and products.

You have to get creative. Clicker training products, pet insurance CPA offers, dog chipping services, national vet services, training guides, training videos... I'd partner with a local trainer to do 52 videos and create a $10 per month membership that gets 1 video per week.

I would like to add that you need to learn how to sell.

It's something you won't get right, right away. Get the balance right between building a relationship with your subscribes and selling relevant products to them.

Be careful with the dollar a subscriber thing... it depends on many factors from the quality of your list (and we all have good and bad quality lists), the relationship you build and, of course, the market you're in.

Its all in the relationship with your list, people state 1% but at what relationship level and at what content/price amount !!

Try to adapt a mindset of how much can i give instead of how much can i make, start building that respect and that relationship, your list is your future, however be aware you will not make $1,000 month in month out with a list of 1000 !!, you have to keep that list growing, over time you could look to diversify etc, and as your list grows you will find it opens up all sorts avenues for you.

Also be aware that it is a little bit of an art form really, you can lose respect overnight with one wrong email or product, also get the balance right with auto responders, if you bombard people to much constantly they will start to ignore your emails resulting in poor sales.

There are parts of the dog training niche that sit with a more desperate market, ie, the dog barking all the time, the dog doing his business in the house, the dog biting, etc etc, and you also have parts of the dog training niche that are more of a nice thing to have, like your dog sits for his bone, walks nice on his lead, fetches your slippers, washes the dishes, etc etc, you get my drift.

It will be the more desperate part of this niche that will be more responsive over time, the "i must have it now section because i cant stand this anymore" !! they will buy on impulse if you can offer to solve their problem !!, it is quicker and easier for them to pay you to solve their problem quick than for them to spend time researching etc and trying to solve it themselves. Try to think outside the box where the people with these problems may be hanging out !! and position yourself in front of them.

Remember if the problem has already happened or is happening then there is a hot market for you to gain from by being a problem solver.

When people sign up to my list the first email I send it if they want to be updated on my new offers and discounts in the future.

I normally send out 1 email every week or 2 and I get a good response. I don't have a massive list yet only 110 and all are buyers of one of my products.

I am working on building it up and up but I do notice I get lots of repeat sales and business from emailing my list.

I have a couple of lists and I usually give away things each week and promote a product once a week or every 2 weeks if it is a high ticket programme.
Best wishes

I generally stick to just one email per week of good free content so that whenever I have something to sell my list is very ready to buy.

As far as finding stuff to sell. Just spend some time looking on Google and you will find tons of stuff. If you know a lot about dog training then I suggest creating something of your own.
