Email Marketing Gone South: What Am I Missing?

Hi All,

After years doing email marketing ‘the right way’ [e.g. getting leads from my sites, implementing mats and on-click forms, sending geolocated emails etc.], I decided to try a more aggressive approach - and I found out I was quite unprepared for that.

As many of you do, my process has been:

- To buy lists from providers I knew
- To scrape emails through our dear ol’SB
- To scrape emails through a similar crawler one of my guys developed here
- Filter everything through excel and NeverBounce to reduce BR
- Send pretty and well written emails to minimise spam complaints

Niches vary from Amazon stuff to social gaming - but, unfortunately, MailChimp [my old-old provider] and Mailerlite [my new-old provider] both decided they don’t want to work with me because my lists look ‘too suspicious.’

So, here’s where I turn to you and your wisdom: how the h*ll do you guys do?

I know I am fairly late in the game, but there’s something I don’t get. This game works only if we play with big numbers - so, how do you guys go about not getting banned by email marketing services?

Is there anything specific I am not doing / any service I should use that I am not?

Thanks!

get ur self and email server bunch of whitelist ips and start spamming...there are tones of peeps here on bhw that can do it for u cheep.

Imagine that I was dropped a campaign of several million legit emails I need to send out asap. I definitely need to hire someone for that.
