Alright I have gathered up to 1000 emails with my landing page, how many do you think will convert before I send them out(they are all targeted). I heard the ratio is around 3.9%. I would like to hear from email marketers on what their results usually are. Thanks
yeah emailing is good... what annoys me though is when you get heaps of replys.. then you have to actually do some real work. what if you emailed your list about paid surveys... you get a reply saying "can I really make XXX/day or are you trying to scam me?" do you reply? do you tell them "yes, with a little effort you can make xxx".. do you say "no, im sorry you cant, please ignore my email and save your money?"
It's best to build to build up trust with people before you go for the hard sell. Offer a free gift, possibly one of the many e-books that we all get offered frm time to time. Some of them are pretty good. This builds up a rapport with people
look after your list... treasure it and treat it like your baby...I have 4 lists in my Aweber account and I spend an hour or so every saturday doing research so I can provide more for the list... before I started each one, I had 52 emails setup in each...one mail a week totals a year of mail to start with...and then I can broadcast freebie's and tips/advice depending on the niche..with my offers and affiliate links here and there...no hard sell, no sales pitches..just give, give, give and you will receive... after a year if it's still responsive I can take it to the next level and each lists increases daily...produce viral FREE reports and guides..and just give freely...

since they are opt-in, make sure to use smtp for sending those emails so that the mails won't be wasted. coz if you'll just send it from your PC, or relay it on your dns, emails might end up in junk folder.
