    Would be easier if you detail the issue you need assistance with - and I might be able to help.

    Or if not, someone else might be able to.

    I can help you out, too. But as cellularnews has said, I'd like to know more first.

    Hey guys, thanks for the fast responses here!

    Really need help getting started. I have done tons of research and have decided this is the way I'm going to go.

    Really want to know about the "best" platform. Do I really need to fork out
    $15K for a good platform. I am going to dedicate my own server to just running the email program..."I think", is this a good idea or should I rent bandwitch. have been looking at this company for that alot, www. exmmarketing. com anyone know of this?

    Also data, how to build my own list. I have purchased some lists that are pretty good, but really want to start to make my own.

    Also, if anyone wants to help me get started, I am going to be doing affiliate marketing with this. the "cut" will be 50/50 until I learn the program. PM me with more details! thanks guys

    If you are sending 10 billion emails then, $15k for a server application is a good investment.

    If you are sending 10k emails, then it sounds excessive.

    I use 12all as a sending application and have a dedicated server which then easily handles my traffic load.

    To build your own lists - simple, have website(s) that have content people are willing to sign up for mailing lists.

    Don't forget all the issues with SPF records, deliverability and sender reputation - especially when using brought in lists from 3rd parties.

    $15K? Are you serious? Use a service like Aweber or Email Aces. They
    cost $20-40 a month and let you send emails to your opt-in lists. If
    you're planning on buying huge lists or (even worse) harvesting or
    auto-generating lists, you're doomed to fail. And probably get fined or
    something for spamming.

    I'm not sure how you could send 200 million a month without it
    being spam... my advice: don't bother. Build a decent, targeted
    list of people that want to be on your list. It will be cheaper and
    waaaay more responsive that 200 million scraped, bought or
    auto-generated emails.
