I have list of 800+ Email addresses, but now I'm confuse what should I do with it?

Should I sell it to someone

or

I should Promote and try to sell any product?

Any Suggestion?

    Before we get into how you can monetize your list, go through the following questions. We'll be in a better position to help you armed with the right answers
    • How did you build this list of emails?
    • Are they emails of buyers or prospects?
    • Have you tried to build a relationship with your list?
    • If yes, what kind of response rate do you usually get?
    • If no, why not?

      This list of e-mails are my contacts of gmail, and about 90% of that list are people who work online, or are involve in online business.

      So I think there is lot of potential of earning money through this list. But can't get any idea.

        Let me put it this way - how did you add them to your contacts list? Do you have the permission to contact them? Do they know you?

            That wasn't the question.

            The relevant questions here are ...

            1. Have they expressly opted in to be on a list, giving you permission to send them marketing email?

            2. Did they do so knowing that you might sell them to someone else, and did they consent to that?

            Respectfully, without your answering these two questions, nobody will be able to give you valid, correct advice here.

              No, I don't have permission to send them mails, but in mails I'll give option of unsubscribe so that if they don't want mails they can unsubscribe from my list.

              And Yeah now I won't be selling this list to anyone, cuz it might be illegal also.

                Are you saying you bought this list?

                Otherwise you would have permission to send them mails

                They needed to opt in before you give them the chance to opt out. If they have not opted in to recieve emails from you then they could report you for spamming and have your acount closed.

    It's said 'The money is in the list'
    So if you really built the list, then selling it will be throwing away money. The main question is, how did you build the list?
