    Do you want to piss any of your list off let alone your buyers? Do you want to pass off your hard earned subs to other marketers?

    I wouldn't personally.

    Only you can decide that. I wouldn't sell of my hard earned list to anyone else nor would I treat my subs in such a way.

      That makes sense.. I can just keep promoting my own products.. The reason I was asking is I keep offers for solo ads.. Thanks!

    IF you ever wanted to sell solos, I would recommend you send the solos to your freebie list. If they don't want to buy your products, might as well have another way to make an income from them.

    Your list should be divided into three categories:

    Repeat buyers- Your raving fans
    1 and done - they bought but haven't since
    Tire kickers- never bought a thing

    If you are a product making machine then your repeat buyers are gold. Only send your stuff or JV partnerships. NO SOLO ADS

    1 and dones- send them JV partnerships first, then affiliate promos, then solo ads. These can be sold as a "buyer list" because they are.

    Tire kickers- Send to them until they buy or die (a.k.a. unsubscribe) you aren't making money on them by just hanging around, they actually COST you money. Sell solo ads for these, affiliate offers, etc.

    my 2 cents.

    Now sell me some solos!

      That's some strong advice right there! Seriously!

      I've had customers that still buy from me from over 2 years ago and dozens who never bought again. Over 1200 who never bought anything though lol

      It's interesting that you bring up the raving fans category though. It's not commonly talked about, and it's the most valuable type of subscriber by a long shot.

      I could live comfortably with only 100 raving fans, then again a comfortable living for me is a small apartment, my gym membership, and excellent food daily haha

    Great advice giving by the Warriors.

    You can sell normal solo ads from your freebie list and charge more for solo ads from your customer list. Some of the merchant I know charge 2 to 3 times more per click for solo ads from customer list compare to the freebie list.

      Yes I have noticed "buyers Lists" are far more expensive then freebies when buying solo's..

    You dont have to sell your freebie list on solo ads everyday. Maybe once a week or so, but dont burn out your list

    You could always build a list just for solo's if that's a route you want to go down but be sure to use a pen name and only have the solo ads as part of your business.

    That way, you can feed your main biz with your solo ad biz and not ruin your rep

    1) DON'T send solo ads to your list
    2) Build a solo ad list instead

    There's money to be made in solo ads. You just need to tweak it. Also keep in mind that the ratio is not as good.

    How many subs you have now in total on your complete list if I may ask?

    I've heard from a reputable marketer on here that has a significant list and I trust his products that you should never sell solos or swap w/ your buyer list. I think buying solos is a good way to grow your free list.

    Here is what I think happens... Solo ad providers sell solos to their freebie seekers that click and never buy. Buyers are moved to a separate list where the provider can send them products. Meanwhile, they grow the list of people they can sell solos to by purchasing solos from other sources and the cycle continues.
