Spam/ Email Marketing

[cpa37710t]

Thank you for actually giving me something valuable! I actually did start working on that I sent out 150k to be verified/cleaned. And I also tweaked my opt-in website too. Definitely getting started possibly sending out 500-1000 a day myself. Hired someone else to send out 100k so I can get an idea of how much my current template can profit. Thank you for this advice seriously.

Dont forget to have onesignal on your opt in site as well, that's a good collateral

Just sending out emails to a certain niche (without getting those emails by yourself) is not a good idea IMO

Email marketing approach is completely different, and I advise many people not to spend their time buying email databases. However, many people are performing email marketing with the aid of the GMass tool, and the issue is not with the technology itself, but with how they are using it.

Develop your own landing page with decent UI/UX and integrate it with an email marketing solution such as GetResponse to create the ideal email marketing plan for your company's needs.

• Advertise your landing page using media buying to drive traffic to it.
• Gather email addresses using a landing page.
• Create an eye-catching email design that includes your affiliate link in the body of your message
• Ensure that you include an unsubscribe button in your email template so that visitors may unsubscribe at any moment.

The techniques I've mentioned are my own. Even though I have read a great deal about email marketing, they are using this method.

Thanks

Yea.. but tbh I didn't want to pay hundreds to get emails scraped when I can pay less and get more in a targetted niche. Plus building an email list from scratch without a blog or high-performing social media will take forever. But hey I guess we'll see what happens lol

That's true too, aiming for above a 90% inbox rate for me, the guy I hired for this batch is like 95 I think

Wow this was a lot of good insight. So yes the email list I purchased was targeted specifically for fitness and weight loss. I plan to get other list as well that are targeted in the other niches. I took this route because it was wayy more cost-efficient than email scraping tbh and I wanted to get started asap. I am definitely going to implement your blind swipe suggestion. I didn't know engagement correlated to inbox rates. Do you have any providers that you recommend for IPs and Domains?

For domains, it doesn't really matter where you get them however, they should be at least 14 days old before you start using them to mail, ideally you should be using domains registered 30 days ago. It's not super important, but it helps.

IP's are the same. When you get them, you need to make sure they aren't listed on a black list anywhere. Due to how IP's work, you aren't going to be getting fresh virgin IP's especially for mailing, so as long as they aren't on a blacklist anywhere, you are good to go and ready to start warming.

Now, you also need to be careful about the type of comments on this thread as unfortunately they are misleading even though they are just trying to help. They are confusing email marketing or "outreach" with bulk mailing and they are completely different concepts.

You are in the bulk mailing category. Mailing cold leads. If you stick with what I recommend in my original post, you should be ok.

IMO buying data is always better than scraping. So you don't need to worry about that. Just make sure you clean it first.

And don't be put off by low open rates in the beginning. I know people mailing millions of pieces of data each day and getting less than 10% open rates. More like 5-8%. But 5% open rates of millions of pieces of data is still tens of thousands of new openers each day. (Also don't confuse open rate with inbox rate)

A popular concept in bulk mailing is to do one "mail out" per week to your entire list, then spend the rest of the week just mailing the openers (to boost back the engagement rates etc). Rinse and repeat.

Firstly, if/when you're first starting to mail, buying a "database of millions" isn't the best way to hit the ground running as the biggest issue that you will have in the beginning is consistently mailing volume.

I would say that as a beginner, it would be worth spending more to acquire a smaller, more targeted list. I read above that you plan on mailing all types of offers, but surely the database you purchased is at least targeted in some way? Or is it just a "1 million usa emails" type of database?

Anyway, I will avoid further talking about data and get into some tips for mailing.

1) Yes, the first thing you need to do is clean the list.
2) Instead of sending out "relationship" building emails, personally I've found the best thing to do is send out a bunch of blind swipes designed to get opens. You can google for examples, but again it's niche dependant. You want to collect openers from your database because engagement is key to staying in the inbox.
3) You then focus on your opener list and start pushing offers.

Let's say that on your million list, you sent out 5 blind emails designed to be opened.

Bulk mailing depending on set-up and other factors, especially since you're a beginner, we can assume 1%-5% open rate however once you've got your openers, will be getting at least 20% open rates, smaller list sizes and better engagement scores.

Now you also mentioned you are paying someone to send the mails but when you mail yourself, you need to ensure that you warm up your IP's and just as important: you need to make sure your send domains have Good/High reputation (for optimum results).

Also, once you've got an opener list, you can start importing it into different ESP's as it will be verified active data.

Would you be interested in a freelance gig?

I know this is a very old post - what is a 'Blind' email. I google'd examples but I couldn't find any.
