Targeted Email Marketing

13 replies
Can anyone recommend an effective and reputable service that will send out targeted email blasts? I know there may be a fine line between "email marketing" and spam, but I do believe it can be done ethically and I'm looking for a decent service.

    Are you talking about spam ? or solo email drops ? I'm not sure this is the right forum for the former

    i think what your talking about is solo ads

    i use solo ads all the time to build my list, i get excellent conversions because its lazer targeted traffic

    as log as you have a squeeze page set up and a basic sales funnel then you are good to go

    you can start with solo ads for as cheap as $15 for a guaranteed 50 clicks

    most of the solo ads i use i pay around $40 for 100 - 150 clicks

    and they go all the way up to 3000 clicks for around $1000 so theres always ones to suit your budget

    hope this helps

    Mass emailing without your own list is hard. Most services that say they do this are just spam houses. You could try working with someone that has a target list already.

      Thanks. Yeah, definitely not looking to spam. Not looking to build a list, but I'm thinking highly targeted solo ads might do the trick. Suggestions own a service?

        Since you are not looking to build a list, it seems you want to send an ad for
        your paid or affiliate offer. Solo ads are mainly used for building your own list
        and most of the solo ads sellers accept only free offers. That means sending
        an ad to your own squeeze page, although, you can have an OTO on "Thank
        you page". Those huge ad blasts you might have seen, like "send to 100,000
        for $50" are of non-existent quality.

          Really? There must be some high quality targeted email marketing services that are reasonably priced and non-spammy.....I'll keep poking around.

    Hey Webatomic,

    There are a bunch of guys selling solo ads and you also may want to consider ezine advertising which is very similar.

    Ultimately, I recommend safe swap. I guess it is the best site for solo ads, because any dislikes and delivery problem will clearly rate on the solo ads provider, so they always work to give the best they can. I trust it and use it, you might want to also.

    Hope I helped, good luck with your list building !

      Here's the problem (maybe). I'm not trying to build a list. I'm looking to send targeted traffic directly to my product for purchase.

    if these lists were so good, and making money why would they be for sale. They are a scam, do not buy or rent email lists....alot of gurus are out there saying this at the moment....do not list, lots of warriors and bad stories are coming out, and I would hate for you to be the next victim.

    solo ads will help you..but some of the owner might need you to contact them first if you are sending the list a paid offer

    Mass email that is legal for targeted traffic, the only think I thought of is safelist. They are not spam to be actual as everyone volunteer to be added, but the effect and conversion, they are really low. But I won't deny it is totally useless as you can easily send out to a huge list, even though only less than 1%, that could be some numbers of subscriber for an easy work. So do prioritize the best way, I choose not to anyhow as I don't like getting so much emails that I couldn't eve read 10% of it. They are a lot of ways to build targeted traffic through proper system, just make sure you can consistent doing it.

    Stay consistent and FOCUS!
    This is the best system to succeed in internet marketing.
