How To Create A Profitable Email List
Written by Peter OBrien
Do you ever ask yourself the question, how do the internet marketing gurus send out one email and make enough money to go on a luxury vacation or buy a sports car?
It all sounds great and you are thinking that this sounds to good to be true. This must be a scam or some marketer embellishing his success just to make a sale. Well for the internet marketing gurus it is not a scam or an embellishment. They know the secret weapon to make all of this happen. Now they usually do not want to tell anybody this secret, but I am going to reveal it to you right now.
The envelope please, the secret weapon is a list of buyers.
The key is to have buyers on your list. You do not need a huge mailing list if you have a list of buyers. With a list of buyers you can compete and beat the guys and girls with the huge mailing lists because you will have a higher conversion rate, which means more sales and commissions for you.
You want quality over quantity. It is much easier to sell to an existing customer then it is to sell to a potential customer.
You can have a list of a million people, but if they are all freebie seekers and tire kickers then you will make no sales and have no business.
When sending out an email most marketers will tell you that they get about a 1%-2% response. If you have a list of 25,000 and you get 1% to buy, you made 250 sales. That is pretty good but you put a lot time and money to get your list that big.
What if you could build a list of 2,500 that would convert at 10% and buy every time you send out an email? Of course you would want that and that is what a list of buyers can do for you. Remember what I said before, it is easier to sell to an existing customer then a potential customer.
Remember that you want quality over quantity. Focus your time on getting buyers to join your list and you will able to create a successful business for many years to come.
