Secrets To Bigger List Profits

By John Anghelache


Smart online marketers know that your email list contains big money.

Ever hear that before? Online direct marketers know the key to big money is to build a big, responsive list. Then to "monetize" the list for maximum profits.

The question is... "How?"

I'm going to reveal a great way to pull huge and automatic profits out of your list. But you have to understand the way email subscribers think. Before you can persuade them to buy.

People who join email lists do so because they believe they will get valuable info. You need to contact them consistently. Also, they don't mind sales messages as long as you don't bombard them with those.

Contacting email subscribers is easy. Just get yourself an autoresponder. Like Aweber for example. Sending good info is easy too. Because you'll be setting up an email list about a topic you know a lot about. And you have to send them ads about products. That how you make money online.

Your ezine should go out every week. You can add ezine messages to your autoresponder for a full year on a weekly basis. Pack these weekly ezines with valuable info.

However, you don't make any money by contacting your list with just good info. You make your money by strategically working sales offers into your contact mix.

I like sending out two or three sales offers throughout the week. These offers are sent in broadcast emails. I write an email about a particular product or service. I include my affiliate or direct link to the website sales page for the product. The email is sent right away using the broadcast feature of my autoresponder service.

If you don't have your own product then promote affiliate products. Pick at least ten affiliate products you like. For each product, send out two or three emails during the same week.

The following week I go to product number two. And so on and so forth. Repeated offers for the same product increase sales. But there's another big benefit.

Once you run through the affiliate product promotions see which ones were best sellers. Take the two or three you got the most sales from and use those to create your own version of them. Of course, this is easiest to do with information type products like ebooks.

Within several months I have a collection of best-selling products that I own. So I get to keep all of the money on each sale to the subscribers on my list.

Next, I look at which of those best-selling products is producing the most profit. I take that product and create a high-priced coaching program.

If you want to, you can just skip to creating the high priced product. Just take the same two or three best selling affiliate products and create a coaching program or high priced info product.

Do this over and over again and you'll probably be making six-figures from your list.
