Autoresponder for dating and adult related products

3 replies
I am looking for some advise from people regarding the promotion of dating and adult related offers and products to a mailing list.

With adult products I mean the kind of self help products for couples or individuals you find on Clickbank, NOT the kind of full on adult material/webcams/pills or other R18 products. Products from people like Lloyd Lester, Digital Romance, Gabrielle Moore, etc.

The problem I ran into is that the main autoresponder companies I have looked into don't allow adult material.

For instance I set up a new account with Aweber to build a list separately from my other business and created some basic messages from the material provided by Lloyd Lester's programme. My account was immediately suspended by Aweber for breach of their terms and conditions because they do not allow adult material. No discussion, no explanation, but a straight suspension and I hadn't even sent a single message.

Given the success of some of the players in the industry I would find it hard to believe that I am the first or the only person to have run into this problem. So what autoresponder services would people recommend for the promotion of these kind of products?

Any advice is welcome.

      I have tried the fitness niche in the past, but it is not something I feel passionate about so I don't really target that niche.

      The dating and adult niche one the other hand is one which I know very well and which I understand. I have run dating websites and cam sites for several years and it is a very good market to be in. There is also quite a big crossover between fitness and dating/adult products so if you are in the fitness niche you might actually think about cross selling some of these offers to your list ... just don't do it through Aweber

      Maybe they are coming down more stringent. Aare you sure this is the exact reason your acct. was suspended ??

      Yes, unfortunately that is the reason why. I have spoken to their customer support team on several occasions and they have confirmed to me that I cannot promote these products via aweber. They have told me that adult material is against their terms and conditions.

      The T&C's are very vague about what they class as adult, because it states "sex-related merchandising are prohibited on any AWeber Systems server. AWeber Systems will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision." So there isn't even an option to discuss this.

      Which still leaves me with my original question: what autoresponder is best to use for these kind of products?
