3 Ways To Profit From Freebie Seekers On Your Email Marketing Mailing List
Most email mailing lists are built by giving away some kind of free gift as an incentive to encourage website visitors to subscribe by filling in an online form with their name and email address. For that reason, most lists are stuffed with freebie seekers who may not be interested in paying good money for your products or services.
If you are not careful, a list of freebie seekers can be a waste of both time and money. But, do not despair! The good news is that you can still make money from a list that is full
of "freebie seekers" if you go about things in the right way.
For one thing, experienced mailing list marketers are agreed that if you work on building a relationship
with your list of free subscribers, it IS possible to convert a lot of freebie seekers into buyers over time. Persistence is the key. Your long term aim should be to
develop a relationship based on trust and recognition with every
single name on your mailing list.
However, building a long term relationship need not stop you from profiting in the short term - even with freebie seekers. The key is to apply what you know about your mailing list subscribers. You already know that if you offer them
something for free, they are likely to take it.
So here are three ways you can profit from freebie seekers in the short term, while turning them into paying customers in the long term.
Short term freebie profit strategy #1: Send
Them to the Right Place
Direct your freebie seekers to a page
that is correctly monetized. Instead of posting all of your content
inside your email, post just enough content to arouse their curiosity.
Then include a link to a page that has adsense ads. If you don't
want to clutter your page with adsense or other PPC publisher
alternatives, then you can sell ad space. Your page will have a lot
viewers from your list and you can monetize that by selling ad space.
In short, send the freebie seekers to a place where you can make
some money from them, even without trying to sell them anything.
Short term freebie profit strategy #2: Lead
Generation List Sharing
There
are many other list owners or other lead generation options that can
make your email marketing campaign profitable. In this case, you can
introduce your freebie seekers to a promotion that is offering
something for free. When your freebie seekers sign up, you get paid
for every lead that you create. While you will often get only a few
dollars per lead, this can quickly add up.
Short term freebie profit strategy #3: Domain
Flipping
This
is a seldom used tactic which can be quite successful. One of
the keys to domain or website flipping is to find a domain that has a
good source of already-existing traffic. You can set up a website that offers a free
ebook, it can even be a free ebook that you were going to give to
your list anyways. By doing this several times over the period of a
month or two, your website traffic can skyrocket. You can then sell
your domain for a higher price. Most domain/website auction sites
require 30, 60, or 90 days of traffic history, so plan accordingly.
Email
marketing to a list full of
freebie seekers can be profitable if you work with the character of your list and not against it. The way to do that is to appeal to the desire of freebie
seekers to get something for nothing and then set things up so that you profit from that desire. Once you have done this, your email
marketing campaign can be much more successful and profitable, both in the short and long term.

webinars on Autoreponders
- Evan, putting it that way you may have a point - the effort doesn't seem to pay off.
If you could score webinars with people you profile I can see word getting around and that driving traffic to your site and exposing them to the content you already have on the site.
Based on the types of businesses approaching you to do these webinars you could also have them set the whole thing up and all you are doing is exposing it to the group. Example a webinar on Autoresponders and Email Marketing. I'm sure there are companies out there that will do the whole setup for you.
