I was wondering if I had( which I do) 40,000 email addresses. Then what would be something worthwhile doing with them?
It depends how unscrupulous you're feeling. If you don't mind someone spamming your dating site members then you could sell the list and someone will send them lots of Viagra and sex aid emails.
How much do you think 40,000 email list would go for country? Also have detailed information on every one of the emails to Male Hobbies ect.
I'd only be guessing - have a look in the BST section (do a search) to see what previous email lists are going for. I imagine you could get maybe $100 for it - but that's just my opinion.
Well can you link me to a smiliar listing please I do not know how to search countryboy would appraitciate the help very much.
Make a dating blog or website, send out an email blast to the 40,000 people whose email addresses you have and see if they convert to readers for your new website.
Hmm.. I wouldn't sell these lists.. especially if the agreement for the members were that you wouldn't sell their e-mail addresses in the first place.. do you have a privacy policy?
That is a good idea I bet it would... I am also thinking of selling the list out but want to find a post that has someone selling the same thing so I can get a grip on the price. Our privacy policy in the TOS says we can do whatever we want with the emails..
I can understand you wouldn't but the xtra boost of spare income could help me get even more people to the site. If you could help me find a previous email list sold here or where to post such a sale It would be great.
Wouldn't it back fire in turn? If people find out it's from your dating site where the spam is coming from.. they don't participate it in anymore? Exposure about this would lead to people not wanting to join..
Very true but with 40,000 people ...To blast information to I could really care less about them worrying about joining my site it has 40,000 members
Yeah, incase you didn't get the tone of my first post - the 'unscrupulous' comment - I'm not keen on people selling these things either. However the choice is yours - here's the list of previous sales you asked for: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=310841 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=105847 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=304252 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=263884 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=265232 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=268616 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=228701 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=213656 Looks like a price around $20 might be reasonable.
I see thank you very much CountryBoy I will check out prices Do you think the fact they are targeted emails..That I would be able to get more because of this?
$20 only? I wouldn't risk it at all.. there are other ways to make money. WHY not instead: send out newsletters? And then just get sponsored ads on them? Way less spammy.. and you can earn much more than $20 !
Hmm don't spam i hate spammers And oh well if you sell them is more then bad as ethics goes but i gues people don't have this anymore
ZergMan - 8everything is right you know. Your dating site members probably won't want spam about the latest penis enhancing pills or love eggs.
