Crazy numbers to make 100k subscribers

I have been thinking on some numbers to make 100k subscribers on my list, taking into account $5 to $7 per year from each subscriber can mean a lot of $$$

100k subscribers -> 8333 subscribers per month
8333 subscribers per month -> 278 subscribers per day

So I need 278 subscribers per day.

An opt in rate of 30% would mean 926 visitors per day.

If I break 926 visitors per day to a large authority site with 250 pages of content targeting long tailed words, that would mean that each page needs to get in 4 visitors per day.

That is incredibly doable, with one page being in a long tail and ranking tops.

Is this plan actually feasible at all?

I could then adopt a pyramid structure for the site, with 25 gateway pages and each having 9 to 10 pages from each gateway.

Then put the 25 gateway pages onto a first page seo service, such that they get link juice that spreads to the other 225 pages on the site.

Couple with a few guest blogging, to raise the authority of the site itself.

Each of the 250 pages would then get the link juice together with a good long tailed keyword such that they get 4 visitors per day, making the whole site's total 926 visitors per day and reverse engineering it, it would take a year to get to 100k subscribers.

Then looking at another half a year or a year to generate $500k from the list alone.

Is this strategy actually viable? Being newbie, I'm not sure if there are any holes in the plan, so would be great be someone can comment on it if it is actually viable at all.

Thanks!

    This sort of quantitative perspective isn't all that helpful in these circumstances, Mike. It's much easier and more worthwhile to get 20 or 30 responsive subscribers per day.

    In the planning stages, aiming to increase the projected average $/month income per subscriber from a list is - overall - a far better proposition than aiming to increase its potential size. "The biggest lists" are typically not "the best income-producing lists", and there are many reasons for that.

    Does this thread help you at all? http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post6123982

    There may be, I'm afraid.

    The one that really "shouts" at me, though, is the fact that it seems, from what you say above, to be primarily based on SEO traffic? SEO traffic is less and less reliable all the time. I get floods of it, I admit (just because I've been doing article marketing for years, and high-powered, high-quality off-page SEO is an incidental side-benefit of getting backlinks from relevant sites) but I'd hate to have to make a living from it. Overall, my search engine visitors stay less time, view fewer pages, opt-in less often and buy a lot less. I can honestly say that out of all the traffic sources I've tried over the last four years, SEO traffic's consistently been my lowest-quality source. Also, because of Google's vicissitudes, a business that depends on SEO for its primary traffic is never more than one algorithm-change away from a potential major accident or even a potential wipe-out (as many Warriors have found, some of them to their very great cost, over the last couple of years). For all these reasons, it looks like a "second-best" sort of plan (to put it fairly mildly).
