How do i blast to my new 1,000,000 List?

This is not entirely true.

I've spent the past 16+ years monetizing purchased data. More specifically, 3rd party data, which is data that users requested information or have shown an interest in a specific vertical and provided permission to receive messages from third parties. I get the opt-in record for all users and it's 100% can-spam compliant.

I acquire data for lead generation verticals. This is because there is no credit card or purchase required. All a user has to do is fill out a short form, so conversion rates are typically much higher compared to offers that require a sale to be made. Since I'm not trying to get anyone to buy something, the need to build a relationship is not needed.

There are even companies that aggregate 3rd party data and provide it on a rev-share basis. Which is data that you get for $0 upfront cost and then you split the revenue generated from sending it, with the data provider. Which is a testimonial that it works, because the companies wouldn't spend their time and money doing it if they weren't getting a return on their investment.

Almost everyone in mainstream email marketing has been brainwashed into believing that the only way to make money is if you develop your own opt-in list and build a relationship with the subscribers and it's just not true. Plus, doing it that way provides no guarantee that you will ever make any money. There are many in this forum that have developed a list and struggle to make any money from it.

I can get rev-share data and test it for the cost of sending it or I can get a sample of data I'm considering buying and test it inexpensively. I'll take that any day of the week over developing my own list. It is just far more cost effective and scalable in the long run.

I also manage/monetize other companies opt-in data on a profit sharing basis. But that's a whole other post in itself. But again, a way that I get access to data without having to generate it myself.

I'm not saying everyone should do it and there is far more to it than it sounds. However, done right and it can be extremely profitable. Everyone that I know that is in the business, for the most part, does 6-7 figures. While that may be a huge range, much comes down to one's ability to scale and effectively build/manage the infrastructure required to scale.
