How To Make Money From Your Email List

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.

Here’s how you make that happen…

You’re about to discover a secret to making easy money from any email list. First, let’s get clear about why people join your list. This is important for you to really understand.

You see, these folks are looking for three things: contact… content… and… offers.

Join an autoresponder service so you can keep in contact with the folks on your list. Send them an electronic newsletter about the topic they are interested in. A couple of times a week email them offers you feel good about.

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.

During each week you also work in separate emails that contain offers.

Use email broadcasts for these sales offers at first. In time, you can include the winning offers in your follow up autoresponder series.

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.

Then do the same thing with the second affiliate product. Repeat this process until you go through all of them.

After you promote the ten or so affiliate products look at the results. Some of those products got a lot of sales. Make a note of the top two or three. You’re going to use those to create your own version. This process works best with info products.

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.

by Kim and Charles Petty

1. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to the product. You could make money selling other people the rights to reproduce and sell the product. People are always looking for new products to sell.

2. Giveaway the product for free from your web site. Just because it won’t sell doesn’t mean people won’t visit your web site to get it for free. They may see another product you sell and buy that one.

3. Try auctioning off the product at an online auction. You may make part of your investment back. If you’re lucky, you may even make a profit because people sometimes get into bidding wars and will bid a higher price than the product is worth.

4. Use the product as a free bonus for another product you sell. This will increase the perceived value of the product you’re selling. People will feel they’re receiving more for less.

5. Contact businesses with the same target market and see if they would be interested in using your product as a free bonus for their product. You could place your ad on the product and get free advertising.

6. Sell your product to businesses at wholesale cost as a promotional product. Businesses are always looking for products they can giveaway to their customers with their advertising on the product. You could make part of your investment back.

7. Barter your product to other businesses for things you need for your own business. You could trade for their products or services. This will save you money and help make up for your profit loss.

8. You could create an online contest so people could win your product. This will attract traffic to your web site. You also could get free advertising by listing it on online contest directories.

9. If you decide to giveaway the product for free, allow other people to giveaway the product for free. Place your web site ad on the product. This will spread your advertising and attract even more people to your site.

10. Ask businesses with the same target audience if they would be interested in combining your product with their product. You could then sell them together as a package deal and split the profits. You may have better results selling your product this way. —-
