14k Email List, Where to Start?

Start dropping a small ad for an info product related to helping them save money at the bottom of each of your mailings.

You should be able to find some good offers on ClickBank or Udemy that might appeal to your audience.

You may also be able to locate a few "save money" offers from a Cost-Per-Action (CPA) network. You might be able to locate offers of this type at the aggregation sites such as OfferVault.com.

You don't have to force the offer. Just drop a compelling description of the product, and post a link. You can include this at the top, in the middle or at the bottom of your daily emails.

Jeff Walker mentioned that 80 or 90% of his net income actually comes from his own products, which is surprising because Walker heavily promotes affiliate products also. Goes to show you how valuable having your own products is both in terms of margins and increased conversion rate due to trust factors.

The idea that you should be making $1 per subscriber per month sounds very unrealistic. I have lists of 50,000 people and I market to them fairly aggressively, and there's no way I'm pulling in $50,000 from those lists every month.

But, it all depends on the RELATIONSHIP you have with your list. If you make it a practice to share good information with them, and are careful about the products you recommend to them, then obviously your list is going to have a much higher value than a list of people who barely have any idea who you are, and are sick of receiving spammy offers from you.

Don't be misled by the "size" of anyone's list. It's the relationship they have with their list that counts. I've had blowhards tell me they have a list of 100,000+ subscribers, and when they promote my offers (which have been proven to convert well), their promotion bombs and they only sell a handful of copies. And I've had smart marketers with small lists do incredibly well with my offers.

I'd look at Clickbank for products to promote, and join a couple of the big CPA networks.

dont worry the $1 per sub is usually for those who have their own product. if you really want to start getting aggressive, can start offering solo ads for $0.60-$0.80 a click if your not in the mmo niche. you can join fb solo ad groups and mention your niche when you advertise your solo ad, it should stick out since everyone else is in the mmo niche. but if do go with the solo ad route you need to be adding more subscribers than your losing, since each solo ad you send will result in unsubs.
