The Secret Admirer Method $$$

Use 123greetings.com there you can send up to 100 cards and they don't end up in the spam folder.

i used 123greetings to try this and didn't get a single card opened; so i don't know..

maybe if you send less of them? there's no logic in that though.. i got 0 bucks off of my test run though haha.
 
I did about 80 got 15 uniques. using free-e-cards-online.com 0 free signups 0 paid. WTF.
 
Genie, how do you send so many emails at one go? 10,000? Did you mass email and cut and paste the email in the address or you send one by one to make it personalised??

I want to get this started so much. I know this will work although I haven collected any emails.

Automation, but I originally started my first day doing 3000 by hand (about 300 cards) before getting frustrated. SO, I wrote a script to push out the ecards in small batches using proxies. So far getting about 1500 clicks a day with about 20% conversion....working out nicely actually :cool:

So your emails arent customized with the persons name?

Nope, they're genderless as well through clever wording. I find my mind picks up on messages addressed to my name as being more formal, usually associated with spam or commercial in nature and friends or ''secret admirers'' usually dont call me by name, they just go "hey!" or some crap.... so I was betting it'd be realistic for the end users too...

I think that is very good advice! The more real a letter sounds the higher the conversion rate will be!
 
I've read the thread and the idea sounds interesting.

I plan to try it. But here is my question. For those affiliates like Fling and AFF who don't allow email marketing....won't they just shut down your account after a while and not pay you? That would be my fear in sending guys to sites like those.

What has been your experiences in that area?
 
hi genie possible to share your script? think it will help alot of people here, if you cant its alright, thanks in advance

Great tip, thanks for sharing! You could probably make good money with that script of yours, especially for people like me who are totally dense to coding lol.
 
hehe nice method.

waiting for emails to come in>

Code:

Hmmm, that's who I've been marketing. We can't use those guys? Which adult aff can we use for this sort of thing?:yield:

I didn't say you COULDN'T use them. I say their terms of service don't allow for email marketing or spam. And while this is blackhat and sending out ecards is quite an interesting and unique way to get around that....I'd be afraid those companies wouldn't hesitate to shut you down if they get complaints. If people have found a way around that fear of mine....I'd love to hear it. And if what you are doing currently is working for you - great! - keep going. I'm just afraid to get an account shut down for a company that I might decide to push in the future in a more "ethical" manner.

Sorry but this script is not for sale. Like most of mine, its just a silly bash/perl/python script anyway, just enough to get a job done... i can't code in windows :(

I am considering selling a script/service in the near future however which can generate 3000~5000+ real visitors a day to your site instantly, but thats a topic for another time...(with moderator approval of course).
 
Makes interesting reading, nice little spin on things.

First time i have used CL, must say its a shockingly bad website! Welcome to 1991!

Posted up two messages and nether have actually showed up despite confirming / publishing them.

I guess they saw me coming!

Trying this on gumtree now, the uk version off CL i guess.
 
@canwedothis - gotcha! Yeah, I've been kinda worrying about the same thing. I'm a newb too and trying to figure out which way to go on all this stuff. All the reading...dude I'm goin blind over here and can't stop LOL. I may run with this for another day or two before I begin trying other methods.
