Will This Work To Get "Foot In The Door"??

Yes I have tried this. It works. You get a proven list of buyers and make a little money at the same time. Just make sure the follow up product is in the same niche. That's obvious I know, but you never know with some people!

Hi Shza

Yes, I think that will work if what you're offering for $1.99 really offers some value for your visitor to enter his details on your squeeze page. Otherwise, just offer the report for free which will probably attract more subscribers, then engage with them to gain their trust before selling anything to them.

Honestly, I offer a free product/service/newsletter in order to build lists. Much faster that way. Once I have a decent size list, I will upsell them a membership area subscription or my callcenter will call them and upsell them as well depending on what I am promoting.

Most importantly, don't piss off your list and give them quality stuff.

yes it is a workable idea but it also depends on how many times you interact with your list in those 2 weeks and what you offer them,if you do this correctley you will be able to sell your $40 product.

You can also segregate your buyers after you offer them the higher priced product. Those who buy something of greater value at a higher price and willing to spend more and may not need to be grouped with those who spend to the tune of a couple dollars.

Hey Shza,

You are correct. Either sell them something cheap, or if you can give it away for FREE. List them, then sell to them later.

I suggest offering them something of a membership first, where you can get them to affiliate your products. The membership can be cheap, but keep it monthly, it doesn't matter.

Once they are in your membership, hit them with great products that you have tried out and guarantee them it will work. Tell them because they are members of your site, you are slashing the prices down for them. That would hype sales.

There is actually another way of payment, I forgot if it was on paypal, clickbank or paydotcom. Anyway, it sells your product out first for $1 or $0. Then, after a month they are charged the full price of maybe $50?

Take note that you have to first notify the about this or it may turn into a scam.

Buyers who are satisfied with the product can just hold on to it and will be charged accordingly, no trouble for them.

Buyers who are not satisfied with the products meanwhile, will have to unsubscribe in the thirty day period, or they will be charged the full price too, without any refund and argument.

You can actually set the payment for less than a week, or two, but I suggest going for a month because based on my statistics, a one month period works best for various reasons.

Hope I helped and good luck !
