MenuHow can I scale my info-product business to 7 figures?
I have a list of 7,000 which increases by 20-40/day (organic). But at this rate I'll have to wait ~5-7 years to hit that.
How can I do it in the next 2-3? Note: currently have no paid customer acquisition. I make between 1-6k/month with this list size.
I know people have done it in a few years - obviously my mindset and mental model needs expanding.

1. Get your funnel(s) down pat and automated. If all you're doing is sending a broadcast email to your list every few days, you're missing out.
2. Pay for targeted traffic. The List is the #1 factor in sales conversion: you can have mediocre copy, but if your list is spot on, you'll make sales. But if you have great copy and a lousy list, you won't make a dime.
Stay away from solo ads/ad swaps. Buy access to lists of buyers, who have bought products like yours. Yes, these lists are available. Expect to invest $3K minimum to email them...but they are already opted in to the service's list, and they have already bought something similar or related to your product. Huge factor in conversion.
3. Develop joint ventures with online marketers who are bigger than you and have bigger lists in niches related to your current one. Yes you may only make 50% or 25%, but those are sales you'd never have made as easily as with this affiliate. Many people buy just because someone they trust and have a relationship with recommended the product...as you probably know.
4. Develop reputation and traffic from high traffic online sources like forums. Sell at those locations.
Hello, so I have helped an wanted many information marketers make over $1M/year. This is how you can do it as well.
Currently, you have a big enough list to make a 5-6 figure product launch. it all depends of how and what you're selling to them. You really need to prepare a proper pre-launch campaign to do so.
What I'd suggest is to create a funnel and to test it with your current list. Price a product for at least $299, it can be $499, $799 or more. I don't know your niche.
Sell that to your current list. After that you can do a Joint Venture launch. This is where you go out there, you show your product to other influencers in your niche who have big email lists and you ask them to promote it for you in exchange for revenue share.
So if you have 10 JV partners with 100k subscribers, you're going to reach 1M people.
if you have a 2% conversion rate, you will sell to 20k people.
If your product is $299, this is $5,980,000 in sales. Let's assume that you share 50% of the revenue, you're left with $2,990,000. And this is from a single launch.
the secret always is:
1. test your product launch with your current list
2. find VJ partners to promote your product for you.
This is the faster way to grow and build a 7 figure info-product business.
I'd be glad to help you structure a plan of how to execute that. So feel free to schedule a call if you need more help.
Best,
Martin

What's the worst thing about marketing your business online with paid ad networks?
(1) Paying for clicks you would have had anyway. Many people know precisely which site they're looking for in advance. Googling the site and then clicking that paid AdWords link is simply our lazy way of getting where we were already going. And there are cheaper ways of providing visitors with short cuts. (2) Paying for non-customer traffic. I don't mean non-converting traffic. Rather, I'm talking about people who visit your site simply in order to promote their own service. You'll be paying for the privilege of hearing more sales pitches. After all, these people find you the same way as prospective consumers. (3) Providing Google with data about your traffic enables Google to know more about your traffic than you do. Recently Google has begun withholding more and more information. One way or another, that data will be sold back to the same customers who provided Google with the data. (4) Renting space often leads only to further dependence on rented traffic. The same money can be spent on other services and assets that improve content and visibility or expand one's online footprint in terms of actual holdings.JP

My CPA cost on PPC channels has sky-rocketed 120% this year, I suspect a competitor has launched a campaign to drive up my CPA costs. See details..
Assuming this is a search campaign, you should be able to see if any new competitors are regularly showing for your keywords. I would also investigate if CPCs have changed (or just conversion rate), how your impression share has changed, and how your average position has changed. If their campaigns are profitable, they will probably continue to run them. Your best bet in the meantime is to optimize your CPC, CTR (helps with CPCs), and conversion rate. You have the history and experience, which should be to your advantage against a new competitor.FP

I'm building a methodology for building keyword lists which have direction relation to search intents + stages of a buying cycle/funnel.
We have an overlapping but non-competing interest in this area. What I'd recommend is ... skip the books or guides on Google AdWords or the Bing equivalent. You've already read enough, and your question is framed with enough specific detail that you're obviously no slouch and probably past the beginner stage, I'd say. Reading guides would provide steadily diminishing returns. DIY time! Brainstorm keyword ideas. Research the search stats. Once you feel you've covered all the relevant search queries and prioritized them, then it's time to run experiments. That's why I say skip the books. At a certain stage, you have to leave biology textbooks behind and go dissect some frogs or observe the live frogs (your customers?) in nature. Nothing is more empirical than running an efficient SEM campaign. You know this. Rules are starting points to b left behind in this space. Books and guides might provide some preliminary tips (at best) or be authoritarian (at worst). Just arrange your spending alternatives as hypotheses. Measure which strategy performs better using some carefully planned A/B testing over a statistically significant period of time / impressions / clicks. Set aside the generalizations. No author will give you what you need because you're already thinking of your problem at a granular level of detail. Brainstorm. Plan tests. Measure. Rinse & repeat. If you want to put 2 heads together, I might be able to throw out some extra ideas. But you don't necessarily need another person.JP
