How can I monetize my subscribers?

Find a Host with some experience on an IM-related topic and do a Free Webinar. Mail the invite to the list. Make sure the Webinar is QUALITY, and then you can always sell a product or service at the end of the Webinar once you have given value to the people that attend. This is a good way to monetize your list. You can call it Live Training instead of Webinar.

i really like the advice about the webinar. it comes down to providing quality to your subscribers. if they get quality i´m sure they come back. the problem is if you try to "just" sell to people. they will refuse to buy much

A webinar is a good idea simply because you are giving them something free! You can give your subscribers anything for free that will grab their attention but of corse it should have true value!
I think you can promote a free product with a reasonable CPA.
Since its internet marketing, you can offer a free training program. My friend had a similar problem, he is an I.T geek so he developed trading software for his forex niche and he gave it away for freeab the trick is that it had real value to everyone on his list.

Good luck with anything that you try because you will make a way. That is a great number of subscribers by the way. Keep it up!

As I stated above, they are people with empty pockets. I've always given quality content to my list and most of them free. I also have good relations with them. The problem is that they don't have money. When They were asked what was the problem in my personal classes they said they like my products but have no money to buy them. I'am also giving free coaching class to them and they appreciate it. even if I give away the free webinars which I've already given away, they have no money to come back and by it up. the bottom line is I'am helping them but they don't seem to help me.

lead them to ppl program? they will get what they want, freebies.. and you get you money..

There are so many affiliate offers you can promote. Try emailing them 2 to 3 times a day. If you've built up a list that big you must be smart enough to think of a way to make money from them.

Give them relevant and useful content. They’ll look forward to your messages, resulting in increased open rates and trust.
Don’t get too pushy with sales and offers.

So is it around 65,000 freebie seekers?

I don't get why you can't sell solo ads because they aren't buyers. Solo ads are sold to people who want subscribers to opt into their list to get a freebie usually so that would be perfect for your subs.

If they won't even buy low priced products then you've not got many options. You could send them to a website with adsense on it and see it they click ads.

Are you able to segment that list further? With information on what they are interested in specifically... you can make more-targeted offers, and see an increase in response. Not only that...

You tend to see an increase in response simply because people aren't as pissed off at you... They are now only getting e-mail that relates to their interests directly... Rather than the "Drinking from a fire-hose" approach to marketing to them.

Most important is to build a good relationship with your subscribers. Invest in a good autoresponder and give them value with each message.

Aweber is fine that's not the issue here. The issue is that you're too scared to promote to them in case it harms your relationship with them. If you don't promote something you make no money.....it's up to you!

a list that doesn't buy is useless, what I would do is separate the buyers from the non buyers. Then delete the non buyers.

I would create a really good offer for $7 then promote that to the list for a few weeks, everyone who buys would be put on a list and would be exposed to more expensive offers, and would receive additional value. Cause you can't survive selling $7 offers

The point of the $7 isn't to make money, it's to seperate the buyers from non buyers. DO a survey to see what the majority of the list want's then create your offering based around that.

Really focus on selling it hard, and get the buyers onto one list. Then create a more expensive offering. I one time made $17,000 with a list if 145 buyers

So don't cry if only a few hundred people come over to the new list. Focus on treating them right, then providing good value and making more expensive offerings to them

send them affiliate offers. you might be very good with customer relation that is why you gain 1000 subscribers.

You might also want to try surveying your subscribers. Ask them what they're interested in learning more about (social media, ppc offers, solo ads, wordpress, etc.). What training format do they prefer (e-book, video)? How much money have they spent on internet marketing materials within the past three months? (You might be surprised to find out that your subscribers may actually be purchasing products from other people. You need to determine if it might be your sales copy/funnel/approach that might be the issue).

It looks as though you may be more comfortable taking the affiliate route.

Good luck.

Twister I was just reading through some of the emails on this thread and had a few ideas for you.

1. I know you mentioned you can't sell solo ads because the 65k people on the list aren't buyers. Let me give you a different way of looking at that.

If you have a segment of your list that is not producing any money for you, solo ads are the very best thing for you to monetize them. If you can sell clicks, you will have happy buyers. Most likely there is quite a bit of freebie seekers on the list, but I'm sure there are some people that will buy the right product. Rather than spending all your time focusing on a product they will buy, just sell solo ads and monetize them.

2. You can always create a mastermind group. This would be a great way of producing residual income for yourself off your buyers list. Set the price at $97 per month, which will give the people that join the group access to your secret Facebook group, and access to you. You can put on weekly conference calls for everyone to get together and share ideas of what they are doing that will provide value to the whole group. If you are able to convert 20 people on your list to join the group, that's an extra 1940 a month in profit from your list.

3. You can create a membership site. Charge something like $17 per month for access to a members only area. You can provide PLR content to them that will be beneficial to them in their efforts of growing their business. This will be pretty simple and won't take too much time.

I hope these ideas help. Good luck and congrats on growing such a good list. You are doing good things.
