What happens to your "Freebie" subs after 1 year...

INTERNET MARKETING

Hi guys,

I've been selling Solos for quite some time now and I of coarse noticed the lack of responsiveness after 1 year of messaging... wich is only normal.

Right now, I'm still sending to that list "as is" ....

So I'm wondering ...

Option 1 : Toss all NON-Tier1 traffic and only sell 100% Tier 1 solos from that list

Option 2 : Make a low cost per click list, as I keep my Tier 1 and Non tier 1. (My actual strategy for that older traffic)

Option 3 : ?

What would you do? or any other suggestions?

Mason,

How do you nurture your lists? Are you contacting them regularly and giving them worthwhile and valuable information in the niche?

Having a "sub par" or non-responsive mailing list won't do you much good and if you try to sell clicks it's going to hurt your reputation, even for your "tier 1" list (simply by association, IMO).

If I were in your shoes, I would nurture all my lists and try to make them as responsive as possible (including periodic "cleaning.")

It's my opinion that your goal should be to develop your lists (all of them) to be as responsive as you can, even if it means you pare your non tier1 list by 90%.

If your list was a pet, it would be dead.

Lol Brent....

Brent is absolutely right. GIVE AWAY valuable information at about a 10:1 ratio to offers before you even think about decent responsiveness.

Good tips.

I forgot to mention that each sub that gets on my lists are given 21 days of educational emails with soft selling of my own ebooks for better branding myself.

On day 22, if they haven't baught, chances they will never buy from me so they become Solos.

... And this thread is about my Solos List, meaning "FREEBIE SEEKERS" who remain on my FREEBIE list....AFTER 365 day... not the BUYERS lists.

My buyers list is my golden nugget and I keep nurturing it. Those lists are doing great.

But how do I get my Solo clickers back in the game after 365 days of Solo messages?

I doubt that educational messages at this point are helpful, for a freebie seekers list that has been spammed for 365 days.

Any more suggestions?

I sell solo ads myself and my customers report sales from these "freebie seekers"

They just need the right offer.

Thow I use PPL in the early stages, I never thaught of doing it so far down the list.

Thanks man, that's great advice!

PPL programs are great, but something I have been doing recently is sending them to an adsense website. I have noticed I get about $1.00 per click and you don't have to worry about what % tier 1 you send.

Be careful.

I think that once the visitor lands on the site, no matter where he comes from is irrelevant.

I mean, the visitor wasn't forced on to the site.

Unless Adsense pais for ONLY SEO clicks, but last time I checked, they're flexible on that part. As long as you don't e-mail directly to get the click on their offers!

If your e-mail is linked to a blog post, I don't see a problem!

Here are Adsense guidelines :

For the traffic : https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/48182?hl=en

For the landing page : https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2404197?hl=en

I'm in the opposite side of camp on this...

Reason being...

I've had people on my list for over a year... Seemingly not clicking, or doing anything...

Then I remember last summer I was pitching a high ticket guru course... And one of those said subscribers bought it...

Now... It's true that the typical Biz Op / IM Lead dies quickly... But... I'd still say to keep them around, and if you can afford to, to keep mailing.

(I've had several of my email guru buddies say it's a bad strategy, but if you're a small list builder, I would suggest for you to hold on to your leads... You never know when they might bite)...
