I have 200k subscribers - now what?

what sort of subscribers?

I'll be very careful using email lists which you did not capture yourself... make sure to confirm the source. I'm assuming you got them from some co-reg service which I personally have found to generate poor response rate... the best bet is to introduce yourself, tell them if you did not intend to be on your list to unsubscribe immediately, and provide tons of free stuff before you start promoting.

You "acquired" 200000 subscribers? I seriously hope you did not buy an email list. Unless they are doulbe opt in on your own lists, then you can run into some serious issues if you emial them. Remember, spam is unsolicited emails with commercial intent. If these people have not given you direct and explicit permission to email them, then tread lightly here.

Sounds like you payed for co-reg leads to me ????

In which case they need to be treated differently to a normal subscriber

The leads will be single opt in in whichcase be VERY careful

I have not had experience of them but know of others such as Willie Crawford who have success with them.

Heres what I suggest, and yes before I start you are going to lose most of them - FACT !! But heck if you could build a list of 200k with $1000 or whatever then everyone would do ....

Use an independant autoresponder to your normal one, you have to find one that will allow you to import co-reg leads... You want to introduce yourself and be honest that you purchased the details from a compny as they requested further info on ( Your niche ) Tell them that you have lots of great free stuff for them and help with ( Your niche ) but in order to provide them with it they need to confirm they want your help and free stuff

Then direct them to your opt in page which will allow them to double opt in to your normal autoresponder service

Then you got them on a normal great list, like I say you are going to losemost but the ones you do lose you arnt interested in anyway !!

If you get 1% I would be Flippin happy as larry !!

Hope that helps

When I first began as an internet marketer years ago, I aquired a list too, but it was 10 million names, but for some reason my Internet stop working and my website went down when I tried to email them all at once... maybe they overloaded the server trying to buy the products i was selling?? DUHHHHHH!

I created a custom hack to the Infinite Responder that allows me to bulk import leads very easily...

That + a solid host = write some auto responder emails, give some great free stuff away to begin the dialogue then hit send...

build that relationship...then pitch

also, put your helmet on, there will almost assuredly be a few complaints...even with the cleanest of lists it happens so make sure your host can handle it.

woops....double post...

Id check to see if your source is legit before anything. I'd send those subscribers a email to confirm if they want to subscribe also leaving a link to your site. If you have a giveaway on your site link them there but make sure you have information about your site or a link to info so they don't think your just tryin to get their information.

So make sure you giveaway is something that's not crap. If they continue to subscribe then you got em locked, the rest is up to you

Have a Great Week Warriors

Offer them a free report or something like this and see how many of them will actually suscribe... This way you will find how many are responsive and how many are just ignoring you...

Your first job is to get them double opted in, verified, and happy to receive promotional material from your self.

Then.. release the dog of war!

Hi James,

I tried sending you a PM but I can't. I'd really appreciate if you could share a copy of the ebook with me.

Thanks.

you might want to look into hosting your own email marketing software like interspire email marketer. 200k emails to start would cost a lot through most email marketing services. make sure you provide something of value and ask them to opt-in to your list. NEVER SPAM.
