An Experiment In Profitable List Building

If you’ve been involved with internet marketing more than 5 minutes you’ve heard that the money is in the list. If it is I haven’t found it yet. In the next few weeks I intend to transform or build a new responsive email list that earns me a profit. I have already built a list of nearly 1400 people that I received using Solo Ads. I don’t get a high response rate with the subscribers on this list. I don’t know how to fix it, yet…

I will be sending updates on how I am changing my strategy and building myself a list of subscribers who are actually buying what I recommend. In order to do that I have to learn about the products I am recommending with better research from me or someone I hire to do it for me. I also need to find a way to grow my list and sell affiliate products in order to make money.

I have to admit that I have done most of my research in the make money online niche because most of the products I’ve bought have been in this market. I get that distraction from the next shiny object that sparkles near me and go off on tangents that are not productive for me. I want to use what I’ve learned to get better results so I am going to record and report my findings by talking about the products I am using and the sites I am developing to build my customer list.

This next few weeks of experiments will be compiled into a pdf report with the best methods exposed. Here on the blog you’ll get to see if something fails and what works. When I’ve found a few things that are working I will compile them into a guide for quick reference on what works.

The guide will be a potential “hook” to be given away in exchange for an email submit. If people sign up then I know they are interested in building a customer email list.

They will need to get an autoresponder so I can talk about the one I’m using and which ones I’m not using and why.

They will also most likely be interested in hosting and domain buying.

Website building is something else that I can talk about. I kind of like building the sites. I have trouble writing ads that sell. That is another topic I can cover as I learn about it.

I will need to figure out things I can do to make money besides selling other people’s products or will I focus solely on affiliate products?

I will delve into how I am doing my keyword research. I like finding the keywords but I don’t like doing all the research and writing on the topics I find. There are too many keywords to choose from and so many avenues to profit from the findings. How will I make money?

I am very interested in selling via email. I am also interested in putting together simple websites that sell something and then sell the sites and repeat the process. Of course I will keep the most profitable ones.

I have to learn how to drive traffic, profitably, to my sites.

To the email list I’ve already built, I am going to experiment first on sending these blog posts to them as free content because it helps to see what is actually working. I am learning how to build profitable wordpress blogs.

My make money online studies have taught me how to find keywords that are low competition and easier to rank for in the search engines. I also understand how to order articles to post relevant content that ranks in the search engines. I also know how to put together simple splash page style landing pages.

I know that anyone can make those claims and I’d like prove it by doing exactly as I would for you on some sites I am currently building. I will disclose how I do this in the next few blog posts and send updates on the stats and offer them for sale.

I expect that the sites will be profitable quickly and I have many ideas. The more I can sell the more I can build. I will do all the keyword research and site building and get a domain for you For $397.

You’ll get:

• A Niche Domain
• 4 SEO Articles With Targeted Search Traffic
• Keyword Reports for you to give you Some Keyword Ideas
• 2 Bonus Splash Pages For Affiliate Offers

I will set up a page with a list of sites I am building now and find a way to give away this info to build my list while I also sell my own products. I will use my content that is working or not to stay in touch with my subscribers. They will be getting steps from me to get a profitable niche, a good domain name and where to get articles written for you. I am getting the practice I need to get some profits rolling in. The sites are not guaranteed to make money. I can’t test every single one before I sell it but I will do my best to get you a profitable niche site blog that makes money every single month almost on autopilot with a chance to grow!

When I set up a site without a buyer I am going to have to figure out how to transfer the contents and easily have them add their own affiliate information. It shouldn’t be too difficult.

Now I have to figure out how to add the blog to automatically go to my email subscribers. Any results I get may not indicate you will get the same or similar results. The links to other products may be affiliate links meaning that a purchase from them may lead to a commission to me.
