I suppose since I started the topic I could at least answer my own question ...
I own a marketing corporation (Magga Marketing, Inc.) and my main markets are the business success and marketing oriented markets.
However, my main lists aren't directed towards the Internet marketing genre. 30% are trying, or are, making a living online, but the other 70% are offline business professionals.
So do these products still work for my lists?
Yes, of course, but my commission checks are far lower than if I pick out a very specific product for them and sell them that.
I'm all for helping out my Internet friends on their promotions and launches, but there are times when I have to pass up offers because the product will push my list further away from me ...
A rule of thumb: your list won't hate you for selling them something as long as you sell them something they need.
Second thing, I'm still not completely convinced about the "smaller dedicated list" over the "bigger less dedicated list" ... I guess everything depends on the amount of dedication doesn't it?
I'm going to test that theory for myseld soon. But I digress ...
So what products do my list enjoy? Books. They love books (imagine that, they bought my book lol) -- preferably business, success, financial, marketing, etc.
Okay, so that's my answer to the topic. What's yours?
