Email Blasts or Online Marketing Services

Trying something different than google...

[metakomm]

This one site promises 30,000 unique visitors or a money back guarantee.

I have this one merchant that has a GREAT offer that most people would jump on, and after sending a few emails to friends and family it seems to be a hit.

Google is too expensive and not enough traffic, so that's out of the question...

Or is there an opt-in email blast company that would help deliver a message?

I just want to get this out to a ton of people...Just to see the response...

Hello metacomm.

IMO if the product is really great, nice & accurate email campaign may show some results, you just have to choose the right company to deal with. If you decide to give it a go, please update this topic, many of us will appreciate it. What to gurus think?

So basically you want to become an email spammer?

Those sites that promise all these visitors are garbage and sites that tell they have "opt in" subscribers, don't think so.

Of course I don't want to be a spammer.

This one company doesn't do email blasts, but it delivers ads based on content they are browsing for on the Internet. I guess because the user chose some free software or something.

I dunno, I was wondering if there was anything legit out there...I am lightly researching...

but it delivers ads based on content they are browsing for on the Internet

Doesn't that ring an alarm bell and 50,000 red flags? Think about what they are offering! 99% probability this is a offer for sending out spam. If you work with spammers, you are a spammer.

Be careful with that stuff!

P.S. Try to find a nice newsletter and buy a sponsorship of a newsletter. IMO this is the only legitimate form of E-Mail marketing.

... oops I just read that this is NOT an e-mail blast. Just disregard my post then. Sorry.

benni-

where would i look for newsletters besides just random searches?

dig through yahoo groups and cut a deal with someone or something?

[benni_203]

I would trying to think about something what my potential clients would be interested in. You always need some kind of anchor where you can hook your products on in order to sell them. A simple example: if your product is an E-Book about PHP, try to find a newsletter targeting PHP developers. Then I would look for "relevant content" + "newsletter" in your favourite Search Engine. Next I'd subscribe to all of them, monitor them for a while and negotiate a fair price for placement.
