Like i said in my previous post, i have made huge progress in what i do and i now have a good marketing budget for my site. So i stumbled across someone on GAF who said he can send me 100K emails for only $220 and that 98% will hit the inbox. This sounds really good, but is it worth it? should i be putting my money somewhere else?
lol, is the salesman a reputable dealer........ Well he has very good reviews from previous buyers, and these are real reviews
Email marketing can poss a huge problem as it comes off as spam. You need to be careful of your niche when sending these emails out because there are some countries that frown upon this tool. Hope this helps!
Email marketing can bring you quality traffic, but the key is that the are seen by the recepters, and not into the spam, and you can't check whether they come to the inbox, you just can see the change of the traffic from the email like urlï¼ Good luck!
Email Marketing sounds to be not so effective this time.. i have also received a lot of emails coming from my spam folders and they end up being deleted,... So its useless
View email marketing as a long term method and your list as an asset. Over time you can make a lot fo money doing email marketing, but you have to earn your credibility with your list by building trust to it.
Email marketing is one of THE best methods to generate sales, providing the list is your own If you are buying a list, make sure first of all that the emails are valid, most of the time the lists sold are just scrubbed from the internet, and no one in their right mind would post their proper email address on the net. The emails in the list could be used solely for that purpose - that they know they will recieve tons of mail, and simply delete all messages in their Inbox. I do that myself when subscribing to an opt-in list. Next, make sure you have the software capable of sending out such a large volume of mail. Most ISP's stop the connections once they see more than 150 mails sent from the single IP address. One way around? Try proxies on rotation.. Some email clients and providers have a blacklist of SMTP servers, Make sure you dont use one that is on a black list. You could find that your emails are not sent at all.. Lastly, there is never any guarantee that an email will hit the inbox - it all depends on how you word your email, the spam filters on the reciever's end and the server you are sending your emails through. If you want, I can prove it to you. I can send you two emails from the exact same email address and with the exact same text message, but one will go to the inbox and one will go to the junk folder. Test it if you want.. BTW - I think $220 is too much for a 100K list - most of the time it is just scrubbed from the net, or fake... I can sell you one (all valid and tested, N American and Europe) for $125. PM me if interested
Yup, that is the problem with buying email lists. Unless they are your own list, they will always be considered spam.
Yea, thats what i figured too, thanks for all the great feedback, I will put my money somewhere else for now and try to build my own email list by having people subscribing.
Email Marketing can be of many uses and i believe that if you have the right product and build a list of people whom are intrested in what type of products or services that may be promoted then yes it shall work. If you are the kind of person who is going to send spam emails and hope that someone bites then do not try. ~ Mike
That could not be any closer to the truth. You hit the nail on the head. People buy these list and have no idea where their subscribers are located. Every country has their own laws and regulations regarding spam and without knowing what they are you end up deterring people from wanting to ever deal with you again. I have seem this happen to people one too many times before and this situation got out of hand all because the affiliate did not take the time to know who they are sending emails to.
Spam "marketing" is something that i have seen a lot of when you get those great emails with the CAN SPAM Act placed towards the end of those emails which makes me think can you do anything about these? ~ Mike
If you write a good e-mail which doesn't look spammy, it won't go to the spam folder. My advice is e-mail marketing is very good if you have a targeted e-mail list, it can be quite good if you use large e-mail lists supplying the e-mail users check their e-mail regularly. Although you could send a e-mail, wait 6 months and they'd buy the product or whatever, so it could be some long-term extra-cash.
