Hey I admit that I know this is a no no, snding unsolicited emails but recently I got 5 million emails as a bonus for purchasing instamate. I started this massive co-op to advertise for my member snad sending emails was one of the advertising methods I chose... the problem was well... one o fthe problems was finding a way to get these emails out. So... up pops a JVZOO product that seemed to promise you could upload your these types of lists. I had a great plan... I was gong to offer a valuable software as a gift to get people to opt in... Well Guess what I purchased the software.

As soon as I logged into the software I got this message

IMPORTANT (read below)

If you have a file with email addresses you want to import, upload it here.

One very important thing to bare in mind is that rented, purchased, scraped lists are forbidden. Using such lists will lead to your account being closed and a permanent ban on our site.

Make sure you tell us how you got the email addresses you are trying to upload. We hold logs for every upload, therefore, empty descriptions and fake answers will lead to data being removed from your account.

Any abuse reports or complains will be forwarded to you and you are directly responsible for any consequences of your emailing.

I' done!!!

I know it is my fault trying to bypass the system.

    I find myself wanting to say ...."well, yeah...."

    Of course you can't upload 5 million emails - or 100 for that matter - that you got 'somewhere'. There are many times working online where you need to make the choice between reality and 'the dream'.

    Make better choices.


    that is crazy.
    What is crazy?

    I wasn;t going to send 5 million at one time (duh) just thought about 20K per month but they refunded my mney and I got my senses back and actually found a more legitimate and effective way to build my list but boy was that tempting. Kind of like Adam's apple. The forbidden fruit really isn't a good coice.

    Sending messages without opt in via a hosted service is never going to be a good idea, and this is very common that they did not allow you to do it.

    The only way your really going to be able to send out these types of campaigns is using a self hosted solution.

    Of course it is. Easy to imagine millions of people sitting at their computer just waiting for OUR ad to arrive...so they can press the 'buy button' and send money to us....

    Then common sense kicks in (usually after autoresponder companies or other marketers say "ain't happenin'") and we slip back into reality. Happens to all of us at one time or another.

    Hi, you must create your list and create a relationship with this list, if you do not you will not earn any money(sorry for my bad english i am french).

    Anyone can scrape 5 mill emails so it's worthless really. But it's a good bonus if people don't know that ;-)
