Here is my list building stats!!! Need help!!

You need more than 150 clicks to start seeing sales.

Your stats look normal to me. In general, your open rate should average around 10% and your click through rate about 30 - 50%.

From what I see, all you need to do is work on your email body.
From the looks of it, everything else in normal, not great but not poor either.

Try working on some better body copy, and more direct headlines. That shuold spring you up a little bit.

Cheers!

I would reccomend to keep building up your list by getting more solo ads or doing some ad swaps. Did you send all 6 emails in 24 hours??That's a lot of emails to send your list in a short period of time. Your stats look ok

Visitors:10.000
subscriber: 2.000
sales funnel open rate: 10% that means 200 subcribers
Click through rate to promotion link: 30% of 200 subscribers that means 60 clicks
with 3% conversion you simply make no money with 60 clicks

Am i wrong ??

the clicks were in 24 hours. I send 4 messages a week! it goes 1-2-1-2-1-2

Zourks.

First things first. You have to drop the double opt-in to see if results change. They will of course, you will drop less people in the initial stages.

Second. Your eBook/report/whatever is not valuable enough to your new subscribers, or your new subscribers are not valuable. It's either your traffic, or your freebie.

I would have a guess and say that your freebie was not valuable enough, simply because most of your subs never bothered with your second, third and fourth email - this seems like the case. In saying that though. Your list is very small to determine any definite outcomes.

Solo ad lists are NOT as targeted as many would have you believe my friend. You have no idea whether the list is full of 1)freebie seekers 2)experienced marketers or 3) newbies. Since you are marketing to newbies, you need to find where EXACTLY these people are and market to them.

I wouldn't open your emails either if I signed up for your report. I'm not your target audience and neither could 50% of the subs you got onto your list from a solo ad. So that eliminates half of your list right out the gate. Another half of those are gone because of the double opt-in, and now you're left with very few people after the initial opt-in stage.

You DO need more subscribers to pinpoint exactly why your open rates are low. But, you have to understand that open rates are very low for marketers that don't stand out. You are competing for the attention of your subscribers. They are on many lists and they ignore, not only your emails, but many others also. You need to be honest with yourself here. Is your freebie "top quality?" Is your report going to blow them away? Are you "honestly" solving a problem they can't find on any other website for free?

First impressions are always important, especially when building a list. I open very few emails myself, the ones I do open are from people that I remembered gave me the best advice, tips etc. You may have the best followup sequence of emails all set up for your subscribers, but if your free report wasn't valuable to them then quite simply they will ignore your future emails.

Get more subscribers on your list.
Do this by trying different traffic methods.
Find out where all the newbies are and market your report directly to them.

You mentioned earlier that you're not a native speaker. You will definitely need to have someone look over your copy before sending it out. Bad spelling and grammar can look very unprofessional. Have you had someone look over your report? Is it littered with bad spelling?

I hope this helps. I could have gone on all day because there are many different reasons for low open rates. You will need to get more subs and test, test, TEST until you get the desired results you're after.

Remember. this is a business. It must be treated that way. You must test everything and be patient. Nothing is going to work exactly as you think it will, even if you implement tried and tested techniques given to you by the top gurus.

Have a good one.

Thank you very much retsced!! No nobody has looked at my report to correct my English so maybe this is the main problem of low open rate :/

I would think the trouble might be that you're using solo ads, and you're just another random guy who promises to change the world if you download their free report.

Your sig line here talks of 90% of people failing to make money, and here you are saying that your can't turn leads into sales. Not exactly setting yourself up here as the expert are we?

You need to give people a reason why you're different and how you can actually help them achieve a specific goal. You need to become the trusted expert, so what product / service can you provide that makes you world class in the eye of this new subscriber?

If you struggle with written english then try video marketing, and use a blog as the central hub to build up content about why you're the expert who people need to listen to.

I think you are being a bit unfair Andrew when you say "Your sig line here talks of 90% of people failing to make money, and here you are saying that your can't turn leads into sales. Not exactly setting yourself up here as the expert are we?"

Everyone has to start from somewhere and zourkas obviously has some knowledge which people with no knowledge would find helpful. After all an expert is simply somebody who knows more on a topic than you. This forum shouldn't be used to say to people who want to get into IM, well you can't because you have never done it before.

The disconnect is obviously as most people point out in the poor product. It hasn't helped people and they no longer want to know.

Thank you guys for telling your thoughs!! Let's think about it a bit.....If my ebook was great in the first message then my logic says that if not all of them then some of them should opened my second message because of curiosity and the value I have given previously... but I have only 3 people of 30 who opened the second message!! Maybe change the Free gift?

Firstly you need to change to single opt in

Using double opt in your just going to lose far too many subscribers

Secondly, you need to have a low priced product that you sell as the OTO and maybe an upsell after that

Before you start looking at all your stats within your emails you need to get your first part of your sales funnel right

Having an effective first part of your sales funnel will make your campaigns way more profitable and will make you a lot more money back

When spending $40 on a solo ad I often make most of it back on the front part of my sales funnel and sometimes make a good profit, this is not including any sales I make within my follow ups

Get your sales funnel set up first then go from there

Have you tried sending your users straight to a video tutoria before you send them to confirm their email? I find this usually gets more buy in...give them something actionable that they can do immeditetely and have them confirm for the second half of the video.

When they confirm have that link to a low cost (preferably 4-9 bucks recurring slo) where they can follow you to look over your shoulder to see whatever it is you do to build your list.

From the sound of it

You're already tracking your stats and this type of info is always interesting.

Just make sure that on your oto/confirmation page you clearly link to your second half of the video and mention it on the video you use to presell your oto.

This way you're bound to get some initial converts to your SLO and it we help you get the money to scale you solo ad buys, plus you have all the makings of a legitimate product that you could repurpose and sell as a stand alone offer to those who stay on your list but don't buy right away.

This is exactly what I did and I saw my conversions jump because I started separating buyers from browsers in the beginning:

The key is hacking the process and using your sandwich page (between sign-up and confirm) to generate buy in...just my 2 cents

"Your sig line here talks of 90% of people failing to make money, and here you are saying that your can't turn leads into sales. Not exactly setting yourself up here as the expert are we?"

Thats actually something I have noticed.. 75% of people are making money online by saying they will tell other people how to make money online ... for a fee. The concept is amazing to me. In the end there is no 'real' product going around most of the time. Its almost like a Ponzi Scheme .. when there are no more people wanting to learn how to make money online .. the whole thing will end (lucky there will always be people dreaming of making cash online for doing nothing)

What is the update on your campaign after all the feedback you got? Did you action anything?
