So How Would You Build A Really Big Mailing List On Just $20 dollars A Day!

So How Would You Build A Really Big Mailing List On Just $20 dollars A Day!

So “how” many of those “how to” build a really big mailing list free ebooks and or paid courses  or expensive coaching programs do you think you’ve been involved with (say) in just the last three or four years?

That many huh? Yea, let’s face it; building a responsive mailing list is simply one of those evergreen subjects. It never ever goes out of style and there’s always different levels of skill and experience to educate new and emerging online marketers about.

For example, there are those far more experienced and advanced marketers (on and offline BTW), that have various lists that easily total in excess of 50,000 or more. And then there are the far less skilled and experienced beginning marketers that literally have less than 25 total subscribers on their one main opt in list.

So reading a headline about building a really big mailing list (say of) 1,000 subscribers or more in just under under 90 days or less! That still tends to pique a little curiosity (don’t you tend to agree?) Even if you’ve already got more than your fair share of paid and free products on building a highly responsive mailing list.

So How Would You Go About Building A Really Big Mailing List Of 1,000 Subscribers Or More In Just Under  90 Days Or Less!

(Even If All You Can Comfortably Afford To Invest Is Just A Measly $20 Dollars A Day Or Less!)

Now first off, you read that rather provocative sub headline and your mind automatically thinks “the Internet correct?  Well, remember, power list building 101 applies to the offline world as well. Meaning; you can build a highly responsive mailing list offline in just 90 days or less, with less total effort and cash resources!

Especially if money is extremely tight. But right away, practically all of you were immediately thinking about (traditional) online list building possibilities, were you not?

But my friend (I content) that your offline power list building possibilities are actually (in many respects) a whole lot easier. As the following hypothetical marketing example, will hopefully demonstrate.

First off, can you really imagine building a highly responsive mailing list using Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising methods, on just an ad budget of $20 dollars per day or less!

Or placing solo and or banner ads and (again) with an extremely limited ad budget of just $20 dollars a day! Good luck with that one. But because this example involves an offline business.

Picture a very popular local bakery. And this particular one is non franchised and has been family owned for at least three generations.

Which means it has an extremely diverse customer base of senior citizens, local HS & college students and soccer Moms etc! And it’s continually growing all the time!

Anyway, (as far fetched) as it seems, let’s say this one particular bakery, temporarily fell on some extremely hard times! Which means their available cash (for both) traditional and non traditional advertising/marketing purposes is extremely limited!

You’d Be Amazed At What You Can Do Or Accomplish With Just A Little Creativity!

Case in point; while you may not be able to effectively spread your marketing message too far and wide (online) , for just $20 dollars a day or less! Offline, it’s a whole different realm of creative marketing possibilities.

For ex; suppose the bakery places a really huge display sign right in the middle of the floor in their shop. And it advertises their daily “free drawing!” What else? Here’s what they’re offering. Everyday, one person that properly fills out one of the index cards, they’ll wing a dozen free? (you fill in the blank!)

Meaning; whoever each daily grand prize winner is, they’ll win say a dozen free donuts! Or a dozen free bagels or fancy pastries etc.

The point is, the bakery will not giveaway anything that currently exceeds their $20 dollar a day maximum ad budget.

(FYI: Of course, if they were to have a maximum daily ad budget of $50-$75 dollars a day. Then they could potentially double the prizes etc!)

Anyway, let’s say that a dozen mix donuts currently cost $14 dollars! They take the remaining $6 dollars of the daily ad budget and give the first six daily buyers of any large beverage, an additional one dollar off their purchase price!

Think about two things here:

1.) As your daily customers enter your bakery (or retail business X) each day, they see this really big  sign adverting your daily free drawing (guaranteeing) at least one grand prize winner everyday you’re open

2.) Next, that remaining $6 dollars you use to create local (on and offline) word of mouth buzz! Because your loyal customer base will definitely be tweeting that they just saved $1 dollar off their morning cup of X!

But here’s the real point, do you think you’d have any problem building a really huge (and highly responsive) mailing list of 1,000 names or more, in just under 90 days or less?

Even on a paltry ad/marketing budget of just a measly $20 dollars a day or less! Entrepreneur, if just 25 of your daily traffic base (enters your drawing a day! In the first 30 days, that’s already 750 leads! And if you average the exact same amount for the next three months (90 days), that’s a grand total of 2,225 leads! (25 x 30 days = 750 x 3 =2,225)

So you only can imagine potentially how big your list could be in just 90 days,  if 50-100 customers per day enter your daily free drawing, correct? So maybe it’s not so far fetched about just how big a mailing list you could build, even on a measly $20 dollars a day or less! Don’t you agree?

  1. Great ideas, Mark. The sky is the limit when it comes to doing creative stuff online and off for building an email subscriber list.

  2. Great post and video Mark. I must confess I’m still at a loss as to how to do much with the local market in my Island but after reading your article it occurs to me that there may be some possibilities over on Oahu because Honolulu is much more like the mainland. Thanks for the inspiration!

    • Hey Thanks M!

      Much appreciated! I couldn’t figure out why my comment messages kept saying one?

      Because I hadn’t seen your comment!LOL! I kept somehow skipping over it.

      Anyway, thanks for the really nice compliment and I can’t wait to hear what you come up
      with in terms of effectively marketing in your local market!

      And thanks for the really positive feedback about the video, I thought
      those results were definitely worth sharing.

      As always, it’s really great to hear from you and thanks for sharing your thoughtful
      words of encouragement and for your continuous support!

      I definitely appreciate both!

  3. Hey Mark,

    I enjoyed your explicit video showing how you built up your mailing list. Fascinating stuff!!!

    It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money when building a list. There are so many different ways to do so on a small budget and here is the proof of the pudding!

    When people think “email list” some depend only on their opt in or sales link on their blog. You and I both know it takes more than that. We need to go out and find different ways to market.

    This is one fine example and I thank you for sharing it with us.

    • Awesome Coach!

      Many thanks! Whenever I get a heads up from you Donna,
      I know I delivered the goods!LOL!

      But you’re so right,it definitely does take more to consistently
      build an active ongoing email list, other than simply adding an inline
      text box to your blog!

      I’m glad you enjoyed the video! How about that, huh? 6,719 opt in using totally free software
      at the time!

      As always, thanks for your continuous encouragement, leadership and mentor-ship! It’s all greatly appreciated!
