Making Money With Email Lists - My 40k/Month Strategy

90secondsqueezepage.com is no longer free, they charge just under $100 a month for a simple squeeze page, lol. Although the squeeze pages are of high quality, it is no where close to worth paying $100 a month for a simple service like this. I know there are tons of squeeze pages out there but most of them are ugly and look spammy as shit. I'd be comfortable with hosting my own squeeze page under my own domain on my own server.

Is there any good high quality WP plugins / themes for good looking squeeze pages that I can pretty much just set and forget? I will be using Aweber together with my own squeeze page. Also, anyone know how to enable the SOI function in Aweber? At the moment it seems like I am forced to send out an activation email to all of my subscribers.

I would think it is pretty important to keep your outgoing emails pretty by designing them with HTML instead of just plain text, or does plain text work good?

Thanks for the post, just have 2 questions.
1)Or Aweber have bulk email sending tool? I have lot of emails to send, so that's why I'm asking.
2)Why I need to use squeeze page unsted my page?
 
If you have 100,000 legitimate opt-ins, $1K per month is a drop in the bucket.
 
Hey everyone,
I have found a lot of cool things on here and have been using them, but now I would like to give back. I found this method where you create an email list and then use that to market(I'm not the first one to use it but it could be helpful to some people). Basically what you are doing is buying solo ads, sending people to a squeeze page and getting them to opt-in to your auto responder, where you can send them cool products. It might sound complicated, but keep reading and it will get cleared up a bit. First I will just give some definitions.


Squeeze page - This is a webpage that?s entirely dedicated to capturing a visitor?s name and e-mail address. This is what allows direct response marketers to build a list on the Internet ? develop a relationship with that list ? and then sell products and services to the prospects on that list.

Auto Responder -
Automated programs which are established to return a prewritten message upon receipt of e-mail. Program will grab the return address from the ?header? of the message. Typically, these programs will send out the canned message within seconds of receipt.

SLO - Self-Liquidating offer. Pretty much means however much you spend on solo ads, you will have this offer on the other end, making almost all if not more of your money back (usually more, but we'll get into this later)

Conversions - People who Opt-in to your email list. Basically the higher the conversion rate, the better your squeeze page is and the more sales that you make. You want to have a high converting squeeze page.

So now that you know the basic terminology, we can get started. I will try to be as thorough as possibly.

The Whole Idea
: You want to build the biggest list possible. On average, per month, for every subscriber on your list you would make $1. If you have 100,000 people on your list, and you send out an email promoting a product where you make $50 per sale and only 2% bought it, you would make $100,000. From sending 1 email. Now obviously this is rare, but if you send emails every day, you can easily make $40,000 a month from this method alone. Now to the prices of solo ads. You can buy a click for about $0.35 on average, so say you have 25$ to start. You can buy about 71 clicks. From those 71 clicks, 28 Opt-in. They are then sent to your SLO and 2 people buy it. You will make all of your money back and more. That's an average 28$ a month just from 1 ad, and you have your money back from the SLO. Now lets say you buy some every week adding 25$ each time, but including the money you previously made. The nest week, you send out 142 ads. 56 Opt-in, and 3 sales. You made the money back plus 58 subscribers. Now you are making around 80$-90$/month. Within just 3 months, you would have about 2,500 people, and thus around 2500$/month. At 6 months, 10,000 opt-ins, 10k a month, and at just 1 year, 40k people and 40k a month. Just remember we are talking about average statistics. So could be more and some could be less; nothing is guaranteed, but it is likely you will have similar results. Some people say the money is in the list, but really the money is in your relationship with the list, so be as nice as possible and build a character that is easy to relate to. Now lets get down to business.

Step 1 : You want to find a good product to promote. Since this doesn't require SEO (Unless you want to get more Opt-ins by using this method with SEO ;)...) You should choose one with a high gravity. I go to CBengine to find products. Find one with a high gravity and go check it out. If it looks nice and professional, choose it. I recommend going on YouTube and looking for a review and what you will learn when someone buys this. Write down/type a few key points. You will need this for step 2.:

Step 2 : Time to make a squeeze page. I use 90secondsqueezepage.com which is one of Russell Brunsons products. It is completely free to use and it makes unique, high-converting squeeze pages. It basically makes it look nice. What you want to do here is either make a video explaining what you get and why you should buy this product, or you can just put bullet points (it automatically makes the bullets into green check marks which will increase conversions.) Then you will need an auto responder to make a opt-in form. I will talk about this in the next step.

Step 3 : Now you need an auto responder. The best one out there is Aweber. Everything with it is the best, including customer service. It is 1$ for the first month, but if you want a free one for the first month, go with GetResponse. I highly recommend going with Aweber though, because it is hard to transfer your list later. You want to set up your web form (with the thank you page being the offer you are promoting) and get the html code from it. Then paste the web form html code in the squeeze page (there is a box in the setup that requires this, you can't miss it). I won't go to much in depth on this because you can look it up on YouTube. You need to set up your follow up messages too. You can see how to do this on YouTube (its VERY hard to explain without a video, so try to find one there). You should have about 14 emails ready to send out through out the next month. After that month, you will have a very good relationship with your list. You can now send out broadcasts and products that you are promoting. Soft sell them. Also, always cloak your links. you can look up how to do this on YouTube (who would have guessed :P). NOTE: I can't stress how important it is that you test all of this (With respect to making sure they are being send through your affiliate link and everything. You don't want to be sending 1000 clicks through the offer and not your affiliate link). Once that is done, you want to start sending traffic, which brings us to step 4.

Step 4 : There are a lot of solo ad providers. I only go with ones that have good reviews. You usually can find this with Reed Floren's reviews (soloaddirectory.com). You can read more about solo ads there. You can usually get about 100 clicks for 40$. Remember, this is HIGH quality traffic. I just recommend staying away from Bilaal Hussain, he doesn't deliver as promised. Everyone else seems good though. Some you will need to write a swipe for, other will do it for you. A swipe is just an email for the advertiser to send to his/her list. Just write something that you think will convert well... Mini pre-selling sort of. Just make sure to start small, with the lowest offer they have, and if it works for you, then move up to the bigger ones.

Step 5 : Make sure you are consistent. Always check to see how many opt-ins you have and how many sales, and always cloak and track your links. Build a good relationship with your list and you will be successful.

I hope that this helped some of you out. I would like to thank Tristam for making good music that I can listen to while making threads like this. I would also like to thank all you blackhatters for sharing your methods :)

And as a great man once said, "One other thing. I'm non-violent by nature...BUT...I see one of you idiots
rehashing this into an ebook and selling it on, and I WILL hunt you down and
make you sorry you ever read my threads, LOL
Let's stick to sharing, and helping, for FREE - ok?"

If you need any help, just comment and I will help. I'm gonna go parkour now. Thanks for reading!

Looks like a great method, just one question,where do you get the traffic from? You mentioned buying clicks, Im a little confused on where the traffic is coming from that is opting in.

You buy them from solo ad sellers on facebook and skype groups.

Cheers.
 
Have been spend all day reading this thread from page one. Thanks for TS and other contributors on this awesome thread!

It's a solid method, and I will start to action tomorrow morning.
 
I love your method very good strategy .
Now I got an idea thank you so much for your trick
 
Nukleardm,
Its a good idea. But, how will you verify the traffic seller if he really send some effective traffic.
 
Hi all,

Interesting post, sure I could apply some of this. However, I don't know how effective this technique remains several years on?

I am also in a different boat right now... I have a list of registered users from another project that's not being utilised. Data includes 300k names, emails UK based 18 -30year olds.... Have more but I am keen to keep it those I know are active. List recently cleansed by a very high end, reputable cleansing service.

looking to get a sideline from this list so should I just take the squeeze page and awesome email copy steps... Or should I employ more advanced actions?

im white hat digimarketing and this list is hard earned... However, email isn't my field so want to put best foot forward and who better than black hatters who do this day in day out.

haha...let me guess...since you just finished reading a lot of text you are too lazy to take action XD You probably telling yourself, i just finished reading all that text. i deserve a break lmao
 
Love this method... but I'm a little confused.

I've signed up to 90secondsqueezepage, bought aweber, and picked a product to promote.

What I'm lost on is what is my squeeze page supposed to be promoting?

Should it say.. "Subscribe to our emailing list for access to thousands of ______ products every day!"

Or should it be more along the lines of promoting a specific product I've selected from CB?

This is what I'm confused about....

Test with both the options, however, give multiple products the first chance. It will prompt visitors from all sorts of interests to get on board.
