Your #1 Revenue Source

:clapper:

That is exactly what I was thinking also, and why I asked the question about spamming. As for as I see it you can only build up a good user base if;
a) you have been around for a long time
b) Have a very good rank on the search engines.

I am irregular about sending it though, I need to buckle down and get more regular.

I do. Over the past few months Ive gained over 5,000 subscribers. Thats not much compared to the lists I can build for internet marketing but its a good start. I set up a few followups and I also send a broadcast about once per week. It’s a good way to bring my visitors back to my website since I don’t have high rankings yet.

What rasputin is talking about is actually a very strong list building tactic for the internet marketing industry. I’ve participated in them before and gained over 1000 subscribers in a week. I’ve never seen it used in the online gambling industry but if done right can be very effective.

So for 1 free gift you get say 500 addresses, then your randomly pick one person to get it right..

What he is referring to is a digital product. Something that is intangible and highly related to the gambling industry. This could be a poker guide that you normally sell or an odds calculator or something. The higher the perceived value is to the potential subscriber the more likely they are to opt in so they can get it for free.

Almost, except site is hosted on my domain and out of same fear of been banned from host for spam, I have no intentions to email all users. I participate same as other JV partners – offer my gift and will get whatever subscribers will want it. For all mailings I use only aweber, and in order to get users on that list I have to present them with something they want. So to answer you question – everyone has equal chances, or clsoe to it. Like you said – person who get it right have a lot more chances.

Anyway, this is last post answering any questions related to the giveaway on this thread from me. This poll was started to learn what people find most profitable and I think it was pretty much clearly answered ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

OK, since there are questions, I’ll answer. There is a way to build a maillist even if your site doesn’t have many visitors. In Internet Marketing it has been done on daily bases and in fact that is how I’m building my list, about 95% of my subscribers became such through what is known as JV Giveaway. That is exactly what I’m offering right now, only targeting very specific niche – gambling. Here are bases how it works, applied to my JV Giveaway:

1. 300 JV Partners join event, each partner contributes a free gift that will be visible in member’s section.
2. Once event begins each JV partner markets it using whatever means he has, email, website, forums, etc.
3. Members invited by JV partners register on site and get access to all JV partners gifts list. But they are not mailed by anyone, including myself. If they like a gift and would like to have it for free they follow a link where specific JV partner, offering gift, has a subscription form. Once they subscribed – they get their gift.

Subscribers are not shared by anyone, in order to get him or her on your list – you have to offer a gift they will want to receive in exchange for subscription. So as you can see that is an answer for “catch 22” and there is a way to get double optin subscribers, even if you don’t have traffic to your site.

Quality of Your gift determines how many subscribers you will get, quality of Your mailings determines how many of them you will be able to retain. Simple.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to make things clear. Please use my other post for any specific questions on my offer.
