hi warrior , i'm thinking to try ad blast the world or similar bulk mail program to promote CB products . Does anybody have experience ?
Is that a bad or good idea?
they promise some 250.000 double opt-in recipient i can send a solo mail once a day.
I have no experience with this kind of service, they let me send from them servers and ther's no ads attached....
Any info is welcome.:confused:

    Sending to 250,000 "real" double-opted in subscribers would cost you a lot - thousands of dollars. If its less, say $50, chances are you're going to get a couple clicks from bots and that's about it. Check the legitimacy of the list, where it comes from, and so on. Otherwise it could be unprofitable and potentially an even worse idea if the people aren't actually opted-in. That'll make them quite mad receiving an email then.

      This method is prohibited under Clickbank's TOS, and could lead to losing your account without notice. They require that any email promotions are to only those who have requested this information specifically from you.

        thank you for your advise i was just thinking if ther's a way to do it without having problems with cb. After all sending traffic to a squeeze page is what everybody ask for .
        but i will look up the cb tos.
        thank you

    Very bad, I think.

    Quite apart from the TOS issue already mentioned, which would certainly get you closed down there, there's also the little fact that it would be close-to-impossible actually to make a sale that way.

    What sells ClickBank products is the strength of the relationship built between the person recommending the product and the customer impressed enough by that recommendation to buy. Without that - no business. http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5210243

    As others have said, I don't think it's allowed by Clickbank; but that's just one part of the problem.

    Without the opportunity to pre-sell these "subscribers", your conversion rate is likely to be horrible.

    Too many people ignore the importance of preparing your audience to buy, whilst building trust at the same time. A proper pre-sell sequence makes a HUGE difference to your bottom line.

    Even if Clickbank did allow it, I really don't think it's a good long term business model.

    My experience with adblast services is they are about 99% fraud and 110% banned by most affiliate programs.

    why is it that every newbie internet marketer is talking about lists, and buying lists, and renting lists and expecting to see good results.

    Then you never hear from them again, or they never really share you the results.

    Case study : a canadian friend of mine rang me up, he did not have a list and told me some idiot company in the US was going to sell him a list of 10,000 people in his niche and he was going to send one email and make all this money on an affiliate product.

    He pays this doucebag company his $600 and get them to blast his so called killer ad out to the 10,000 people. He gets 2 optins, no sales and is burnt badly, and has a bad taste in his mouth for like a WEEK! LOL

    People do not do this. WHy are there idiot gurus out there at the moment telling people to rent lists, and even buy them.

    Question : if these people were making money off these lists, and they were so good, they would not be FOR SALE! FULLSTOP!

    they are probably spammed lists of people who have bought these lists from several other lists of lists. LOL. Now after all the spam these people have received do you think for one minute the people at the other end are going to be interested in what you have on offer.

    Do not get burnt like my mate did. Do list building the old elbow grease way. It will give you good results.

      I can attest that Clickbank will nuke a spammer's account if they get reports with proof.

      Endorsing or teaching the sending of unsolicited bulk email here is forbidden. Has been for over a decade. It's a bannable offense.

      If you're inexperienced enough to believe that anyone is going to sell you daily access to a list of 250,000 "double opt-in" subscribers, you're too inexperienced to even think about this project.

      Stay away. You'll get burned.

    ok as i supposed it's a BAD idea , i got so many mail by this kind of company , and also M.Filsaime owns one , so i want to inquire and Warriors i really appreciate your genuine answers.
    I know pre sell is a great way but sometimes even myself , i really don't care from where the offer are coming , i just look the offer. Beside many "gurus" here at the WF they send me any offer as the " ultimate solution" and i just wait 2/3 days to see that it's a crap , after a while i unsubscribe because it's too much .I have to say that 99% of the people mailing me are doing it this way, 99% stupid offers just to make fast cash and all the lifetime support ( mostly false ...people disappear in a while...) Bonus ( free ,old plr ...) .My guess you make money only with neewbies till they understand the game....
    Thank you very much to everybody.

      Remember there is NO HOLY GRAIL to making money online. If there was we would all be out on our 44 ft Yaht sailing the ocean hugging bikini models waving to eachother.......

      Now I admit that would be fun....but the best way to make money in any business is hard work, passion and perseverence.

      Just my 0.02 cents worth.

        There is no best way to promote Clickbank products, but the methods you have experienced are certainly among the very worst to emulate. Follow the link referenced by Alexa (post #5). Top affiliate marketers generally agree that building niche lists yourself and promoting to carefully nurtured (and protected) subscribers is of key importance for consistently high conversions and long term success.
