    Can anyone recommend someone they know that is a serious email blaster that I can buy good opt-in lists from? Lists that actually convert. I'm looking to do half a million to 2 million emails a day. Thanks.

    I just posted the same question yesterday with no response either http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=583974, I'm quessing no has had any success with E-Mail Blasting, LOL :D.

    Now I was going to give WebTrafficMarketing.Com a try. McAfee has them linked to all green sites, No complaints of spamming and all the sites there gave them great testimonials are ligit too, plus they advertise that after 14 days if your not happy they will refund your money, so I fiqure what the heck. I'm going to given them a try tommarrow, if they work out or not, I'll post to let everyone know :)

    Ryan DONT buy a list...ever.

    You need to build your own list if you want it to work out.

    www.aweber.com is what you need.

    Yeah, buying lists hasn't been all that successful for a couple of years now.

    I would not recommend buying a list for a couple of reasons.

    1. It has usually been resold multiple times and will not respond well.

    2. Most email services or even your own host will shut you down if the list is dirty and gets either too many bounces, or too many spam complaints from ISPs.


    Build your own list by partnering with a co-registration vendor (just Google coregistration) and/or by buying cheap clicks from PPC and sending them to a lead capture squeeze page.

    I would then recommend using aweber.com as your email service since they are relatively inexpensive and are white listed by most ISPs. All of your coreg emails must double opt-in with them so expect about 60-90% of the list to be unusable. On the flip side your deliver rate will be among the highest in the industry and those that opt-in will be your best responders anyway for other offers.

    Good luck!

    If you buy a list, you will be very sad to see so many of those names do absolutely nothing for you. It is very hard to market to a bought list because they aren't hot prospects. Rarely are they even warm prospects. Even if they are fresh, they will most likely look at you as a stranger and a spammer. Even if they opted into be sold.

    Just my 2cents
