Buying List From Exact Data

Thanks i will most likely check it this weekend...

They sell it to every customer

What's the point in buying an email list. It is not legal. Importantly, if a person is receiving 1000 mails every day, what make you think that your email will be opened or even seen?

You still need proofs?

Here is my honest suggestion, do not buy a list ever.

There are millions of people in this world who actually do not know their problem - consider yourself lucky if you know your major problem.

If marketing is your problem, there are two things that you should do:

1. Learn it. Get training. Reach out an IM expert for mentoring.
2. Get out of it.

If I tell you that I make $XXX per day online, it DOES NOT mean that you should work online too. The reason I make money online is that I love doing this, it is my passion. If IM is not your passion, it is not something that interests you rather it is your problem, then what's the point in wasting your time and money on it?

Not everyone can be a doctor.
Not everyone can become an engineer.
Not everyone can become a plumber.
Not everyone can do marketing.

I am not discouraging you. I am just trying to tell you that if it is not working for you, it just mean that there is a complete misfit.

I think selling email list is not legal, they will sell the same list to every one and thats the start of spamming :S

If this is the only offer you are promoting then this could be bad for your future success online. You also want to have some programs that can earn you some residual income. It is OK to promote CPA offers on your site but once you stop promoting, your income will stop too.

Think long term.

is there any software to scrape similar lists myself?

Do not even consider on buying any such list as most of these lists are fake and buying email list is not not legal. they may provide you email list but it won't help you in any way as the users will unsubscribe you and many email in it would not be genuine,they may be dead emaillist.

I would not buy a list. I have no idea if it's legal or not (as debated above) but I DO know that I tried this a few years ago when I was attempting (and failing miserably) at MLM marketing. At that point, I didn't even know what the hell an email list was... but I got sucked in. Took my money. Didn't get a single sale. Look, there might be legit ones out there, but it's risky. Work on building a SOLID list that is hyper-targeted and full of people that are devoted to you as a person. You have to build up a persona, a leader to this tribe of people you are emailing. Then, it's pretty easy to get them to drink the kool-aid (aka, make money).

Buying an "email list" is probably one of the WORST mistakes a marketer can make.

You will have no use for purchasing an email list because most email marketing companies like Aweber don't want anything to do with it. What you do want is an OPT IN list that you build yourself through free and paid marketing.

Now, there are some "List Brokers" that have connections to buyers lists, but typically what they do is they negotiate an offer with the list owner to do a solo ad and they receive a part of the commission for putting the deal together. But you never want to actually "buy" the list itself, that's a horrible mistake and can get you blacklisted.

There are people making huge piles of noney using that data, but they know how to use it, and theyre paying a lot less for it. Learn how to use it or stay away from it.

I believe that the best way to get leads is to promote your own capture page that is connected to an autoresponder

I think of buying email lists is also a way of collecting E-mail data

Terrible company that sells bad data and does nothing to fix the problem and make the client happy. Avoid them at all costs. They are expensive and they SUCK!!!

WHy dont you go to Solo Ads instead of buy a cold list?

It's FAR BETTER. dont waste your money on strategy for list building which dont work and may expose you on law issues.

Small Business Owner Exact Data Experience.
1. Several conversations with Sales Rep who told me that the list I was purchasing (100K = $4,000) would be targeted to my demographic - sports and very open to my emails and made me feel as though I was not spamming. I was told these were legit people I would be connecting with (not true).

2. I deployed through Exact Data and got around a 5% combine open/clicked rate (5K). According to the sales rep these users shown interested and would be considered double opted in. I could take these opted in user and mail through Amazon or Mailchimp and so on.
$4,000 for 5K "opted in users" is a horrible horrible return.

3. I did a test sample of these opted in's (500 only on each) on Amazon and Mailchimp. My account was intermediately suspended at both places.
Even the opted in ones are usable. Nothing from any list you purchase from them, even if you deploy with them will ever be usable at a legit mailing service. I resolve my issue with them and learned the only way to send to people from their list is through one of their recommend third party senders that allow purchased list at a high price.

After finding that the list I purchase was absolutely unusable I did some more research.

4. I hired on a company to scrub, clean and run the list against their suppression lists using the 100K final list I got from Exact Data.

I was returned a list of 65K. Also more then half the ones that Exact Data claimed opened or clicked "double opted-in" were removed as well. The scrubber I worked with said that about 20K were spam traps/honeypots and the other out ones were set as complainers (will report you as spam).

To which Exact Data replied all third party list can contain a Small account of spam traps. Roughly 35% of a list being spam traps and honeypots is hardly a small amount.

Conclusion from my experience:
1. A list you buy from Exact Data can never be used on any popular legit mailing service (Constant Contact, Amazon, Aweber, Mailchimp and so on).
It can only be used with a platform provider that allows third party list usage - very expensive and slimy.
2. Their list are sold multiple times and are very dirty.
3. Their list contain tons of spam traps and honeypots all meant to you in trouble.
4. As far as I am concerned you can't use their list. Throwing money away.
5. Their legal documents you sign cover them for any complaints you might have.

Do not under any circumstance do business with this company. Don't buy anything. Unethical company.
Do not trust or believe what the sales people say.
Please don't be a fool like I was. Horrible, stupid experience. Shocking they are on BBB with a positive rating at all - makes you wonder about them too...

I have never bought emails for this, and I am very much confident in suggesting you to not to waste your money in buying such packages.
Someone has a list of thousands of active emails, and he is selling the same emails to many customers. Those customers are sending their emails for marketing to those thousands of emails. If you are the owner of one of the emails, and you are getting lots of promotional emails every day, will you care to read such emails anymore? Clearly, this is all spam.

I have been monetizing purchased data for over 16 years.

Buying data from large brokers like Exact Data, you will overpay!!!

$4K for a 5K list is pure insanity.

It's all about getting a small, but large enough sample and testing. From the test, you will have an idea of how long it will take to break-even and what it is truly worth.

Also, most of what I do is generating leads. So I'm not trying to sell anything. It is far easier to get someone to fill out a form, than take out their credit card and make a purchase.

Have all data cleaned by a reputable list hygiene service.

Buy data from reliable sources

Any data you purchase, even after being cleaned can potentially generate complaints. However, there are ways to mitigate. Additionally, if any source(where data is coming from / not who is selling it) generates excessive complaints, then drop that individual source.

It's not all about the data you initially buy. You want to always be segmenting opens/clickers and removing unresponsive users. Essentially you want to convert the data from quantity to quality.

I get there are the naysayers, but this is usually because they read that buying data doesn't work and then preach it as the truth or they tried it and didn't know what they were doing and failed.

By no means an I saying it is for everyone. IMO, it is really more of a business model than a traffic strategy. However, monetizing purchased data is BIG business and can be extremely profitable. Everyone that I know that is in the business, that knows what they are doing, mostly do 6-7 figures...depending on what stage they are at. While that is a huge range, much comes down to ones ability to scales and effectively manage/build the infrastructure needed to scale.

I personally would never buy an email list if you want everything to be legal and long term. The reason for that is, not only it is somewhat spam... but people don't know you at all. They won't have any kind of connection to you and therefore probably won't click on links from strangers... they need to trust you in order to click a link just like that.

The most responsive list is the list you build yourself. You can build a relationship and ask them what they need and supply the needs. The list you buy is a list of strangers and you are a stranger to them. And how many people are buying that same list? It is easy for them to not know they opted in to receive your message and can easily complain you are a spam sender. To which you have no optin form recorded... This buying lists sounds dangerous and unproductive if not illegal.

Buying email list is good, but make sure email list is fresh or old.

My client buy different countries fresh email list and getting good leads and business from email list..

Fresh email list is costly, but good for email marketing.
