Are Bulk Mailing Services Worth it?
By Matt Bacak

Often times I’ve been asked what the best opt-in service that also has a bulk email sending service that’s either inexpensive or free. Now I know there are a lot of marketers who do this kind of thing. But if you’re a real seasoned marketer and not a “dirty” marketer, you will have no need for this. Buying bulk lists in a given niche and sending out email messages to these lists were very popular back in the day when the word “spam” did not exist. However, now with the Anti-Spam Act established in 2003, doing this sort of thing is in my opinion very, very risky.

You can no longer simply buy a list in any given niche and send an email to that list. Nowadays you have to have permission from each individual. And the only way to get their permission is if these individuals actually opted in or signed up for your list by going to your website and entering their name and email address.

Any bulk mailing service that you’re considering using to purchase lists from can create an IP issue. Now with the Anti-Spam Act in effect if a bulk mailing company decides to pursue this type of marketing, they’re going to get their service shut down. Personally, I don’t care how clean they may claim that their list is. If those individuals in the list didn’t opt in to your list, then you’re pretty much going to be seen as a spammer and may be banned. Taking a risk like this is not worth it as it can ruin your future earning potential and your online livelihood. If you want to build an online business this is not the way to do it. In fact, this is actually the best way to kill your business and your dreams.

Basically one thing you need to remember is to set up your own opt-in (aka squeeze page) and begin building your list. Write articles, do pay-per-click advertising, pursue joint ventures and solo advertising from sites. Rome was not build in a day and neither has any profitable successful online business. It takes time and dedication. You too need to take the time to put in a little elbow grease. Once you do this, I assure you that you will soon reap the rewards of your efforts.

So, be persistent and spend a bit of money and put in some time and soon you’re online business will purrrr it’s way all the way to the bank!

There are many strategies to making money on the internet, but nothing makes sense unless you have a big list. Email Marketing is the most profitable way to make money on the internet. When you build a list of hot and hungry prospects you control your future. Discover how to use the internet and turn your computer into a cash gushing machine.
