This is wierd, but there may be possibilities

T-bone,

I think your next action depends entirely upon what you plan to do. Do you want to create a business? Do you want to have a web site? If not, don't do anything, eventually the emails will stop.

But because you began this thread, I'm guessing you would like to try your hand again at Internet marketing?

You already know how to put up a web site and you understand the need to push or pull traffic to it.

Now what you need to do is

• find a hungry audience,
• learn what challenges/needs/wants/passions they have,
• satisfy those challenges with a product/service or referral,
• learn to drive traffic to the site.

It's not really too complicated but you'll basically be starting over from scratch. Since those emails came to you, it is possible that you could reply to each one based on their approach to you. But I'm guessing they may not remember sending you their email. In addition, they probably haven't given you permission to mail to them (I don't really know this based on what you said). If it were me, I wouldn't mail to them, especially since you don't know how targeted they really are. You should be able to get 116 fresh opt-ins fairly fast if you do your market research homework.

The very best to you,

Steve

It could be spam mails and answering spam emails may open the floodgates.

A couple of questions: Is there anything on the site. Sometimes sites stay up after expiration. If the site's not up, then I'd assume that you've been spammed. I don't know why someone would persist in sending you emails over 3 months though. Did you ever get leads from your site before?

You may have a legitimate list of 116 men interested in enhancement. Even if it was some kind of prank, at least 10% of those guys have thought about doing something to improve themselves. That's if they're legit emails.

If you are feeling a little adventurous, here's how you could start a business out of this.

1)Find an autoresponder that allows you to load your own prospects (imnica maybe)
2) Find a plr email sequence on male growth (or you could write your own but that would take some time and effort) and load it into your AR
3) Find some products that would interest your list and join the affiliate programs.
4) Load in your prospects
5) Begin mailing them your sequence and add in some affiliate links. The manufacturers may even provide you with an email campaign. (Hint: What guy wouldn't be interested in an email subject line reading "Your Girlfriend Told Me Something Embarrassing about You")
6) Build your list by setting up a new site and feed it with traffic from youtube, facebook, and forums (hint: I understand a lot of bodybuilders are interested in this sort of thing!)

Your cost: $3 a month for an imnica or other low cost AR account (the first month is $1)
$5-10 for an AR series
$10-15 for a few fiverr gigs to make short videos promoting your site or affiliate products.

The above is a very simple affiliate biz model that will work. At the very least, you have an interesting experiment.

My suggestion is to "Don't Take Action" with any email(s) that are from an unknown source. Rather, build a list of your own subscribers because it will be a list from a known source, i.e. your own list.

You want to use the unknown source email addresses to build a list and that is SPAM. You will be a Spammer, risk losing your reputation and possibly your website host if not more.

Maybe you should find a list of all the practices that we marketers do & do not do.
