subject: Why Not Buy Bulk Emails? [print this page] Are you looking to purchase an email list? If your answer is yes, then believe me it is a wrong decision.
You must have got mails stating: purchase 1,000,000 email addresses just for $30. Looks attractive and in just $30 you will get so many addresses and that without any effort! There are many companies that ship a CD at your home in which the email addresses is loaded.
Getting 1,000,000 addresses for $30 is heaven for internet marketers. But, it is not heaven for everybody. This is because the companies collect these addresses using software available on internet.
No doubt, this thing is attractive but it is recommended that you never ever buy these types of lists. It is just a total waste of money. Also, the mails you will send on these addresses will be spam and you may be accused. You must have seen many advertisements relating to Viagra in your spam mails. These mails are sent on the email addresses that are collected using the software available. People even do not even open these mails as they do not need it.
So, it is strictly recommended that you never ever buy these type of services as it will be a total waste of time and money. Some addresses are even closed or inactive.
The best alternative way to collect the email addresses is to build opt-in page. In this page build a space for entering the name and email address of the visitor. If, the visitor wants to keep your website and want to get more content, he/she will surely subscribe. This way, along with other methods, can be applied to make a long mailing list. No doubt, these methods take some time but, you will get all the genuine addresses and that also without any risk of spamming.
