    Hi, i am planning to join Azoogle for Merchant and startup some campaigns, then at the same time join affiliate and start email marketting by blasting those mail by the email list i collected from my merchant account, i wonder Azoolge, or even CJ, or other network let me do that? :)

    Thanks

    That's a flawed business model.

    It's flawed unless you're arbitraging by a BIG margin of profit.

    1. If you're collecting emails nobody will promote your offer unless you pay at least $1.00 +, and still you'll have problems getting your stuff promoted.

    2. You need to pick a popular niche, and you need to beat out the other advertisers in that niche because your goal is quantity (of emails).

    3. Say you get a 10k email list, you're already down $10,000.00. Now when you promote an azoogle offer it'll have to be something that your email list might be interested in. What's the conversion rate on emails? Like .5% (I really don't know). So say you do send 10k emails, at .5% conversion rate you'll get 50 leads. And how much is a lead depending on offer? Lets say $10... Well, good job you've made $500, but you're down 9.5k. Sure you can spam everyday but then you'll run into spam blocks, the user manually unsubscribing, etc.

    I would say, go back to the drawing board.

    The traditional way the advertisers collect emails is to sell it and resell it and resell it some more or they have their own products so their profit margins are huge.

    Ya, thanks for the advise. Actually i m working in this kinda industry. It's not only concern on blasting email everyday to get back your bloodly money. It's more important is how well u keep your list fresh too :)

    From prev exp, you should get a auto-response mail to conform your subscriber. So that they don't hate you and click on the SPAM button. And try to start M.List small first to reduce drop into spammer list.

    Then the interesting part, is to categorize the subscriber. Try not to blast ONE campaign to all the subscriber but targeted to increase the Conv. Saving your server resources and reduce SPAM rank at the same time. An understanding of the attribute of EACH list is a MUST :)

    Cover back the $10k is a long term plan. :cool:

    Yeah I guess like a year form now you might make your money back... But if you just do normal PPC like most do you can make that much in 4-5 months easily.

    You should always abide by the anti-spamming laws if you want to maintain a successful long-term business model.

    It's alright to use emails, but as longs as you don't spam in keep with the laws.

    So using a double opt in list that you have gathered is better than purchasing a list that you don't know how it was gathered together.
