Re: Dont click this at all, admins only
Here's an idea I've come up with but I just haven't had the time to try, since I'm working on other projects from 16 to 18 hours a day, everyday.
You've probably seen those 'leads' websites where you can get 2,000 leads everyday for a monthly fee. They are real leads and include full information, such as IP address, name, email address, mailing address, telephone, etc. These are people that have signed up because they're interested in making money online.
A marketing buddy of mine, Michael Nicholas, tried using those leads one time, but his results were not worth the effort. However, I think he may have taken the wrong approach by just importing the leads into his regular mailing list.
Instead, I think you need to send a few 'warm-up' messages in order to build a good relationship, then try to sell to them later on.
Anyway, here's my step-by-step idea -
1) Find a good deal for lots of internet marketing related products that come with resale rights. I'm sure you've seen the offers where you can get 150 or 200 resale rights products for $50 or so. Go ahead and buy a good package or maybe even find one on this forum that you can download at no cost.
2) Go ahead and sign up for one of those lead offers, where you can get 60,000 leads per month for a few dollars.
3) Create an autoresponder sequence and start out only with the purpose of building a relationship.
4) In every message you send, be sure to include a free download link to one of the resale products you have.
5) After the first few messages, in which you've built rapport, you can also start including a sales pitch, either for an affiliate product, a CPA offer, or anything else that you're selling.
Let's face it - everybody likes to get something of value for free. If you spent $50 for the 200 or so resale products, that means that you can send 200 messages, each with a free valuable gift.
I'd suspect that most people would stay subscribed and not want to miss any of your messages because of the free gift, so that means that you'll have about 200 chances to sell them something.
If you import 60,000 leads per month and even 75% of them drop out right away, that still leaves you with 15,000 new and active subscribers every month.
Now, let's do some math -
Let's say that just starting out, you have 15,000 subscribers out of the 60,000 you started with. You send them 2 or 3 messages a week thru your autoresponder, so it's almost effortless for you once you have things set up.
Let's assume that you're pitching affiliate products, CPA offers, etc and your average profit per sale is $10. Of course with most affiliate products, you stand to make more than $10, but we'll use the $10 amount just to be conservative.
OK, you have 15,000 people and we'll assume that your conversion rate is only 1% on each offer. Since you are sending out about ten offers per month, times 15,000 people, you're looking at 150,000 offers. And at a conversion rate of 1%, that means about 1500 sales for the month.
Considering an average profit of $10 per sale, that means that you would make $15,000 at the end of the first month. Of course, if things remained like this, at the end of the second month, you'd have twice as many subscribers, so your income could potentially be $30,000.
Of course, the success of this project would be dependent upon how skillfully you craft your email messages, the level of rapport you build, the products for sale you promote and the desirability of the gifts you offer.
Do you think this is a workable idea, or am I way off base here? Any thoughts?
