opt-in list. What to do with it?
I have been sitting and wondering for days to figure out how i can use my opt-list to make money? I have had very little success at pitching PHP books to my list even thou the list is gathered from my PHP site.
At the moment I'm pitching a book on PHP and MySQL development. I follow up with informational messages about the book 3 times in the interval of 8, 10 and then 12 days. I thought that having pitched multiple times will increase sales but I have trouble generating sales altogether. In the last month and half since i got autoresponder, i have had 5 sales. Now, I have no way of telling if the sales came from my follow ups or through my website ads. The merchant doesn't have any way of tracking clicks. I can only tell how many clicks I had and how many sales i generated. It's either that people are not buying or the merchant is stealing the commission (but i don't think they would do that).
Now, I'm wondering, if i can use the list to pitch something else other than PHP or web development related? Would it be a good idea? Any thoughts? Anyone with any experience dealing with opt-in list to pitch products?
