    No ... that won't give you any results.

    And as soon as Mailchimp realise that that's what you're doing, they'll close down your account, because you're breaching their terms of service.

    Here's what you need to know about "purchased databases": http://www.warriorforum.com/email-ma...ml#post9331922

    Yes.

    Build your own list of your own subscribers who have opted in to become your subscribers because you're the person from whom they want to receive email.

    Email marketing is permission-based.

    There's no money without that. There's just a lot of breaching people's terms of service, putting the various internet services you use in jeopardy unnecessarily, usually some illegality, and no profits.

    Purchasing email lists or databases is a no-no. The subscribers have opted in to receive information about something and you are giving them something entirely different - of course that's not going to lead to any sales.

    Grow your own list from scratch. Start by adding a blog to your website and publishing articles regularly on topics customers in your niche would be interested in. Then create an opt in form and offer a free ebook to anyone that opts in. This will improve your opt in rate.

    The last step is to get traffic to your blog. SEO, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest are some of the best free ways to get traffic for a blog.

    Why would you buy a email list?
    You just wasted your money buying an inactive list.

    Even if you have 100,000 on your email list, and none of them are converting your list would be useless.

    I can have 10 on my list that converts and still make more money than your 100,000

    Email marketing is not about buying lists is one channel that can help you to keep in touch with your customers.

    For example for my business, I use the blog to drive traffic, since is much cheaper to drive traffic to a viral article rather than the main site, in the article I ask people to subscribe offering a cool free thing and after I start educating people with good tips each week.

    In the same time I promote posts on facebook for the people who visited the blog since they highly engage with my content.

    I don't recommend purchasing of email database either. Especially if they are at a dirt cheap price. Most emails you got are either dead (no longer in use) or they are just there to collect spam mails.

    Besides, you are sending emails to those who doesn't want to read them, what's the whole point?

    Set up a squeeze page and build your own list. There are enough information here to help you get around that. Good luck!

    It's not sure that any purchased mail gives you satisfactory result through email marketing.
    -----------
    Good and easy way is that survey your site traffic and fetch visitor emails or fetch emails directly search from Google. There are many ways to fetch customers mail ids from Google.
    ------------
    Don't waste your money for purchased mails either use this for buy bulk mail server for sending mails in bulk at a time. This server give you full detail about your mails either these are send or not or either send to spam folder.
    Mail always be attractive which attract to customer.
    Just keep these points on your mind which are very helpful for you in email marketing.

    If you are trying to implement an e-mail marketing program or currently emailing, then it will be good to know about some tips to enhance your email marketing.
    # the main purpose of your email is to get more traffic on your landing page and website. The first step to bring customers, user has to simply click on your website. So use lots of links, and make that link look like a real and actual link, use strong calls to action and "click here" like message will also help you.
    # Email is not to print mail piece, so minimize the use of images.
    # You have to follow spam tips from beginning of your email marketing or every time you send email, it helps you to avoid getting flagged as spam.
    # Make your text short and easy, because most users aren't going to read the full text of your email.
    # Make proper use of ALT text, title and linking with image.
    # Send test email before sending main email to know it is going direct to spam folder or email viewer or in outlook's preview.

    Think about mobile campaign. If a campaign doesn’t show up on mobile devices, it’s not going to perform very well. Everything you send should be mobile-friendly.
