If you have an email list in the health space, then I’d like to talk to you.
I’m starting a new project/email list, something to do with health. I’m looking to get people onto that list, and relatively fast.
So yesterday, I made a list of 10 ideas to do just that.
I got through the first 9 ideas pretty easy, just by thinking about assets I already have or paid traffic channels I would be interested in trying.
But then I paused for a moment. And I thought, “What about my marketing and copywriting list? How could they help me with this project?”
This really should have been my #1 idea. But as we non-native English speakers like to say, better to late than never to happen.
So if you have a health list, then I would like to talk to you and maybe strike some sort of deal.
My offer isn’t fully formed, but some of the options include:
1. You promote my new list for free because you love me so much. (Just kidding. I wouldn’t expect that, nor would I want it.)
2. I pay you for a solo ad or a mention in your newsletter or something like a classified ad.
3. I run a promo to your list where I sell something and I give you all the money I earn, and I just keep the names. (I saw Bob Bly promoting this idea once.)
4. We do some kind of barter. I give you consulting, coaching, or even (gulp) copywriting in exchange for traffic from your list.
5. I give you an IOU. Say you agree to drive people to my list now. In exchange, we could agree that I drive people to your list when I get to 5k people on my list, and then again when I get to 10k or 20k names.
Or really, I’m open to other arrangements if you have something in mind. It will depend on how big and engaged your list is, how you would be willing to help me promote, and how good of a fit I imagine it would be for the project I am starting.
But what about urgency? You gotta have urgency, right? Why should you act now?
I don’t have any urgency for you.
This health project is something I am invested in mentally right now. If anything, it’s urgent for me and not for you.
Maybe you can take advantage of that.
Because the fact is, I will stay open to these kind of deals as long as I continue this health newsletter project. But I might get more selective about who it makes sense for me to do these kinds of deals with, and on what terms.
But that’s all in the future. Right now, I am very, very open to any kind of suggestion or proposal.
So if you have a health list, and you are curious whether we could do some kind of deal together, then write me an email and we can start a conversation.
