Everyone keeps saying build your list, etc. I've been having some trouble with understanding this importance. I can't seem to see how an email list is viable by any measure unless you have more than 100k subscribers.
For example, let's say you have an email list of 10,000 subscribers which probably less than 10% of marketers even have that.
Let's say the open rate is 30% which is higher than average.
= 3000 prospects.
Then the click through rate is 10% which is higher than average.
= 300 prospects.
Then the actual conversion rate is 4% which is higher than average.
= 12 sales.
Say you're selling a product for $47. That is 12*47 = $564
Trying to get 10,000 opt-ins doesn't seem like the best use of your time to make $564.
What's wrong with my math or perspective?
