How to Make Money from Received Emails

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by fitsf, Jun 13, 2009.

    I have a website which I get 5 or so highly targeted emails per day about health and fitness. I currently have a bunch of email addresses which I've heard is very important but I have done absolutely nothing with them.

    What are some ways (100% legit) which I can monetize these emails? Is there a site where I can sell them as leads? What should I do? I feel as if I'm not monetizing my site to its full potential.

    I'd say use CPA for monetizing, it'll be the easiest way to go for making money.

    As far as emailing, it's always a touch subject. You can try interspire which is a server side script working on a chron job, and depending on your host, you can send around 500 a day, or 500 an hour, again this depends on the host.

    you can pick up ymailer xx from bodeezy for 100 bucks a month. This software is really good and it's what I use.

    emails by themself are nothing... Targeted emails are better.... Building a list of emails who are interested in hearing from YOU is best.

    I'm not a CAN-SPAM expert or anything, but just because someone emails you a question or whatever, it doesn't give you the right to send them unauthorized advertisements to that email address. Everyone on your list must have opted in twice and agreed to receive promotional materials. Sending random emails to addresses which you "collected" in the way you described above is illegal, as far as I know.

    Hi,
    Your post is not clear. if you have subscribed members or the emails you have are valid and of your clients. you can start sending them newsletter... and i have seen in some newsletter from some of the B2B sites they place ads at bottom or left.

    Are the emails harvested? If yes, then you don't have the right to send them mails. That will be spam.

    As others said, if these people didn't opt-in to receive your email, then sending them emails would be spam. What you could do, though, if you use Aweber or GetResponse, is import the names and email addresses into your campaign. They would have to confirm of course, but then you'd be able to email them without the spam problem. I use GetResponse for my email newsletters, and I love them. Starting your own newsletter and adding an opt-in form on your website is the best way to get targeted subscribers. If you would want help getting this setup just let me know.

    All the Best,

    Alan

    Well these guys are emailing you asking you questions about health and fitness can't you just reply, or pay someone, to reply to these emails for you. Offer them a solution to their problem in the form of an affiliate link.

    If you notice that their questions are all fairly similar then create a product around that.

    Don't spam them!
