1000 Subscribers In 24 Hours Challenge
I’ve two questions for all my readers today:)
1) What’s the most subscribers you’ve added to your list in a day?
2) What’s the biggest number of subscribers you think you can add in a day?
The most I’ve previously is about 400, the most I think I can add is over 1000.
But if you don’t set a target how are you going to reach it?
I could have just drifted along getting a few subscribers a day but then I will never reach my target for the month, or year.
That’s why I’ve set myself a challenge of adding 1000 subscribers in 24 hours, and today is the day I’ve chosen.
So set yourself a target and go for it.
If you have no list I challenge you to build a list of 100 in a month.
If you have a small list try adding 50 more in a day, or at least double the amount you have ever added.
Set an appropriate target but don’t make it easy.
How Can I help You?
If you are interested in knowing what methods I am using to build my list, just post a comment below and if enough people are interested I will do a follow up post or a report explaining what I did…
Update
6am EST, 1pm UK – added 283 subscribers today so far. (I’ll be using aweber time to count the 24 hours and taking a screen shot of the total subs added at the end)
3pm EST , 8pm UK – added 631 subscribers
Final update
I didn’t quite make it but added 918 subscribers which is not bad, and am now past 35,000

- Your most beautiful post
– Your most popular post
– Your most controversial post

– A post whose success surprised you

I don’t have any posts that would fit into this catagory, but here’s one about the ‘beauty’ of Internet Marketing – that is you can earn an income and in this case win a prize while you are on holiday:

Most Popular:
www.keithpurkiss.com/super-affiliates-page-and-free-edu-links
It seems like simple tools like my edu link finder appeal a lot to people and this post has 27 comments at the moment.
Most Controversial:
www.keithpurkiss.com/is-2011-really-the-year-of-ethical-marketers
This post was meant to be a place for subscribers to discuss queries they had with an event I promoted but some people seems to have been ‘sent’ to the thread to make negative comments without reading it. I think the thread speaks for itself.
Most Helpful:
I’m going to pick this one because it encourages people to create their own products and reminds them that even if they only do a few minutes work per day they will get there in the end.

Post Whose Success Surprised Me:
This post about spammy emails got 33 comments which was well above my average :

Post that Didn’t Get The Attention It Deserved:
This post contained a summary was working for me at the time, and anyone could take the information in the post and succeed online.
It only got ten comments though so maybe it’s worth another mention.

Post I’m Most Proud Of:
Another difficult choice, I decided on this one because I spent a year working every day on the product mentioned in this post.

Have Giveaways Passed Their Sell By Date and The Value Of IMTrustworthy
Have Giveaways Passed Their Sell By Date?
I’m sure anyone involved in building their list using JV Giveaways will have noticed there are probably more events running now than ever before.
I have one myself at the moment with Chris Shaw – The Cyber Monday Giveaway which is open to members now:
besteverjvgiveaways.com/cmg11/go/3
The downside of there being a lot of events is that most people are not going to join them all, and there are really too many to promote.
I’ve found that promoting to get members loses me more subscribers than I get back.
For example I promoted to around 5000 subscribers, got 7 member signups to an event but had around 20 unsubs, so now I normally promote to contributors, and get only a small number of members into events via my blog and my list of events open to members which I link to in emails.
This is probably the reason why a lot of people don’t promote events – there’s not enough WIIFM.
Competitions can help eg cash prizes, co-hosting a future event, or promotion to the event lists.
In most events a lot of people are not promoting at all though, even those with fairly
big lists, which is unfair on those with smaller lists who do have signups.
I think a ‘pay or promote’ policy which some people use may be the way to go ie contributors have to pay for an upgrade, or promote – if they are
free and dont get signups then they will be downgraded.
Does anyone have any other ideas and how to boost Giveaway Events?
The Value Of IMTrustworthy
Anyone can setup a website, and many give you no idea who is running it, so how can you tell if it is genuine?
One way to gain credibility and insure people know who owns a site is to use a seal from IM Trustworthy – I’ve just added on to the top right of my blog. I’m going to add these to my other sites as well, and people will be able to see other marketers comments about me (only one at the time of writing but I hope to have more soon).
This is my profile – I think only members can view it, but it’s free to join:

Is 2011 Really The Year Of Ethical Marketers?
There was a lot of talk last year about how 2011 was going to be the year of ethical marketing?
Whatever happened to that – have you seen any changes?
I joined a JV Giveaway Event yesterday called ‘Everyone Will Win’ based on the fact that it was recommended to me by another marketer and had the photos of a lot of big name marketers on the signup page who it said were taking part.
But I just spoke to one of the people listed and he knew nothing about it.
Creating a fake list of people to attract signups is not really the best way to run an event or to establish yourself as a marketer.
I have joined hundred of Giveaway events and have never come across this before. Maybe it happens and nobody notices?
