by Sledge105
5 replies
1. How do u properly approach those who emails u got from a software so that you do not come across as a spammer?

2 from anyone's experience what are the best products/niches/affiliate programs to promote with email marketing

3. Has anyone had any success with paid list and are there people that will pay to be part of your list?

4. Also I am interested in the ab bulk mailer software. For anyone who owns it are there any features that are included in the corp edition that are an absolute noob that are not included in the standard edition? I read somewhere that u cannot adjust the reply name in the standard edition. What does this mean for a noob like me?

Thanks for the feedback.

    You can't, because you are spamming. Doing this literally makes you the definition of a spammer.

    No one who actually makes significant amounts of money is going to tell you what products/niches/affiliate programs they do it with. Why would they expose themselves to more competition?

    It's done all the time, and there are companies like Agora that makes tens of millions of dollars every year with paid newsletters. However, it's not easy and you better be a hell of an email writer with amazing information that's worth paying for.

      Thanks. However for the question re which products are best fir email marketing I was not necessarily looking for specifics just like amazon,cpa networks or something. Not a specific product.

    Software & paid list = Spamming if there was away to come across as not spamming everyone would be doing it..Its the lazy way and a road to quitting as you will quit because you will get fed up of not making sales or getting traffic...

    And buying crappy list you clearly can't be bothered to put the work required in..

    If you don't want to come across as spammer then build your list the correct way..

    Plus majority of paid list are dead emails as people like yourself have bought it and they have been hammered and they just change emails

      I was talking about people paying to be on your list not buying an email list.

      hi not really the way to go as most people have not opted in and if they have you have no idea of knowing what to or their area of interests its far better to build your own squeeze page in a profitable niche or area and do it that way as blogger mentioned you'll most likely get no sales or opens and possibly get email account reported as spammer

      you could not use these methods with an autoresponder which is again best way to go but they would not allow you to import unless double optins I am taking of course of the good ones you may find that there are some cowboy ones that allow but your deliverability would be terrible

      there are no shortcuts as email marketing is all about relationship building people only buy from people they know , like , trust you cant buy that you would be lucky if people even open as tried it before from firm and caused all sorts of problems - hope that helps and avoids you some frustration
