MenuI have a database of 60K leads (filmmaking related industry). How can I start getting revenue from it?
This question has no further details.

Hi,
There are a number of important questions that will influence your strategy to monetize your healthy list of 60k leads.
-Do you have a product to sell? A list is meaningless unless you have a credible offer that resonates with your leads.
-If you don't have a product, can you create one to match the interest of your niche? If not, can you partner with someone who has a relevant product but needs a big list? Or someone who wants to "rent" access to your list.
-You can also consider starting a blog/newsletter to deliver industry-targeted news and content...which can be later monetized.
I, too, am in the filmmaking space and have a lot of experience with this. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to set-up a strategy call. Would love to help!
To generate revenue from 60k leads keep in mind these points:
1. Unique users: When it comes to lead generation, repeat sessions from the same user are typically not beneficial, because additional visits from one person usually do not generate additional revenue. A majority of companies make the mistake of focusing solely on the number of sessions on the site to determine whether their website is successfully designed.
When creating a lead generation site, companies should be increasing the number of unique users that visit their site, enticing them to perform the desired action.
2. Conversion rate: Tracking visitors to your site cannot be the end goal. Companies must be able to measure the percentage of sessions that result in the action, or visitors that are converting. For a lead generation site, companies should track the percentage of sessions that result in a lead capture fill.
3. Close rate and closed deal value: Close rate is the percentage of leads that are converted into revenue for your company. A lead that does not become a customer is of little value. The ability to close is usually entirely external to the website but is still an important metric that affects the websites decisions.
4. Closed deal value: helps companies determine how much a closed deal is worth to the company. Like close rate, this value is measured outside the website, but still affects websites decisions and helps evaluate if the website design is effective.
5. Revenue per session: Though this metric can be more difficult to track for a site focused on lead generation compared to a retail site, it is valuable for companies to have an estimate of this number. If a lead generation site has a conversion rate of 10%, a close rate of 20%, and a closed deal value of $500, the equation to calculate revenue per session is .10*.20*500= 10.

Email marketing
Depends on how the leads were generated + many other questions.
Read a few Dan Kennedy books or hire someone to help you.
For example, if you email a cold list of 60K email addresses, you're sending IP(s) + domain could be RBL'ed for a very long time.
If you send postcards to physical addresses, cost will be higher + you won't be RBL'ed.
Also important is first step of your marketing funnel, your lead magnet... then value loops various lead magnets suggest... then ascension paths to higher price point offerings.
Said differently...
Marketing is Marketing.
No difference between any niche/industry.
Same rules always apply.

If I have a business idea for a large company, how can I give it to them and mutually profit, without them just taking the idea and squashing me?
Probably not the answer you're looking for, but companies have so many unimplemented ideas that the likelihood of partnering to implement someone else's idea is really low. And besides which, the idea is not something that has much value in and of itself. If you're passionate in the idea, build it yourself. That's the only way you can have leverage.TW

How can I make a million dollars?
First, I agree with Chad in that the pure pursuit of money is unlikely to render anything significant. By using a monetary value as a primary goal, you're only diluting the real drivers of success: passion, crafting great customer experiences, building an incredible team and culture etc. That said, making $1m isn't that hard. :) I love this thinking by Amy Hoy and that's how I would go about making $1m: http://unicornfree.com/30x500. Using that logic, this is what I'd do: * To earn $1m in a year, I need to earn +- $80k a month. * To earn $80k a month, I need 1600 customers paying me $50 per month. * So what can I build that could attract 1600 people to pay me $50? * Or, what could I build that could attract 400 people to pay me $200 per month? This logic works on two drivers: * Cumulative revenue and growth. So SaaS works best in this regard, as you only need to focus on having new signups that are greater than your churn. * Building something that people are willing to (really) pay for and going for quality over quantity. If you are building something that sells for $5 pm, you'll need to sell at much higher volumes (which are tricky). In terms of doing that, these are the areas of my business that I would prioritize: 1. Build an awesome team that do things they're passionate about. 2. Prioritize customer experiences above anything else. Do everything in your power (regardless of whether it can't scale) to add value and help your customers. 3. Build a brand and reputation that has long-lasting value.AP

What advice do you give to a 16 year old entrepreneur with a start up idea?
First, hat tip to you for being a young entrepreneur. Keep it up! If you have the funds to build out your MVP, hire a developer and possibly a mentor. If your idea is marketable, you don't need to give up equity by bringing in a co-founder. If this is your entrepreneurial venture, I would recommend you do retain a coach to help you see all the things you may not know. Have you already done your SWOT analysis? Have you identified your target market? What is your marketing plan? What will be your operating expenses? There are lots of questions to ask. If you would a free call, I'd be happy to help you in more detail.

My startup just failed. What could I start to "immediately" generate $1,000/mo?
The quickest path to cash is almost always consulting. Be very specific about what it is you can offer. Don't just offer "business consulting". Find a niche and serve it. Reach out to your network, including friends and family and ask if they need or know of anyone who might want to hear about what your consulting has to offer. That will be way faster than trying to go at it from scratch or cold calling. If you call 100 people in your network this week, you will have a consulting gig within 3 weeks. Good luck, and let me know if you'd like advice on entering a digital marketing/lead generation consulting niche. I've grown from zero to $8,000 of monthly recurring payments in the last 40 days!

How do you get your first customers for a consulting business?
Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. The only thing that helped was reaching out DIRECTLY to people in my target market. That meant cold calls and cold emails. I'd sell myself while thinking about their needs. Once I got a few bites I'd build good rapport by keeping in touch, asking questions, repeating back what they were saying so that they knew I was on the same page and kept my promises. If I said I'd call them back next Tuesday at 2:15 I'd do so. Eventually I built trust with them without having a network, or an insane amount of experience. Oh and the most important thing about consulting is to LISTEN. When those first clients notice that you're truly listening and you're not selling the cookie cutter solutions everyone else is trying to sell them that's when you got them hooked. You start to understand their problems, fears, and see through their eyes and not just yours. A network will help, but in the beginning just good 'ol salesmanship will get the ball rolling.JC
