How To Build Up Your Email Opt In List Overnight?

So this is something that everyone one in Internet marketing is just dying to know. They mystery, the truth and the all mighty solution towards building your list and getting more and more and more opt ins.

Solution:

Write a 50 word post on your blog that promises to spell check and proof read the material you publish in email because everyone knows that you never do it on your blog.

Oh wait, that only works if you are ShoeMoney, sorry… my bad.

It’s kind of funny though really. Because here’s the deal. So many successful Internet marketers tell me that I need to start chilling out more with AdSense and sacrificing my click through  towards trying to get an opt in. In many ways that does make sense.

How much is an opt in worth to you? $0.20, $0.25, $0.50, more? Would you pay $1 dollar to get an email opt in? Seriously, how much is having one email subscriber worth to you? I don’t remember who told me this and I don’t remember the exact amount — Mark Mason, you’ll remember this when you read it and be able to fill in the blanks — but I remember someone telling me that an email subscriber is worth around $25 dollars per year.

So if that is the case, you could pay any amount up to that in order to draw a profit. However, I don’t think anyone would REALLY pay $24.99 for an email opt in. But, is it unrealistic to pay $0.50, maybe even a dollar?

With that said, here is what I am thinking. Seeing how well ShoeMoney did on his 50 word post that just basically said, “Hey… join my list… I don’t know what I am going to do with it, but I’ll try to spell better.” I see this as a new way of getting more email opt ins. Granted, Shoe doesn’t do paid posts, but someone else does.

John Chow

How much does it cost to have a post published on John Chow’s blog? According to his advertisement page, the cost to have a sponsored post is $500 dollars. So, the way I see it, if you were to pay for a post and if that post generated 1000 email opt ins for you, that would result in $0.50 per opt in.

Would that be a successful campaign? Could the $500 dollar paid post on John Chow generate that many opt ins?

Why not?

When John Chow tells his readers to take a piss, guess what? Everyone pisses on command. When John Chow says buy this Internet scam, I promise it is a scam, guess what? People buy. When John Chow says that he purposely manipulates his RSS feedburner numbers to make them bigger than what they are, guess what happens? More people subscribe.

So, if John Chow wrote a post telling his mindless robots to subscribe to your email opt in, guess what? They will join your email opt in. Additionally, if John Chow says that people are not allowed to unsubscribe until they make their first Internet marketing scam purchase from you, guess what? They won’t unsubscribed until they purchase your Internet marketing scam product.

So, all in all, if you are an Internet scam artist — joking by the way — Internet marketer who really wants to build up your email opt in list quickly, perhaps spending $500 dollars on a paid post isn’t such a bad idea. Granted Google doesn’t like paid posts, but in a case like this, who cares? You’re not buying links, or anything like that, you are simply giving John Chow a line of javascript code — which is your email opt in form — and saying, “Hey John Chow… wipe your butt with this $500 dollar bill and tell your people to join my list and also tell them that they are not allowed to unsubscribe from it until I sell them something.”

Yeah… I think that would work great. What do you think?

BTW… here is my mailing list form if you’d like to opt into mine.

PS I really do like Shoe and Chow… and I am just pulling their cord a little.
