starting a Mailing List

[playa]

instead sending email to email sponsers i was wondering bout collecting my own email list....i was just wondering is this better road to turn to rather than just making a quick 1.00......what i am afraid of is the spam rules that sponsers use..cause i feel that this is very close to breaking that rule even if you had some opt-out link...
so tell me fellas is this worth it?...

I do not know if it is worth doing to to aviod spamming contact your sponsors first and inform them you will be advertising using an opt-in Email list and ask if that is OK with them

[Rimmer]

Some programs cheat detection involves looking for high signup ratios from no referrer traffic.

So your opt-in signups will look the same as a spammer. Jugglers correct in that its wise to contact your sponsors first regarding this as you do not want to be canned for spam.

thats exactly what i was thinking about....i figuered that would first talk with the sponsers...

would anyone that owns mailing list share their experience and tell what sponsers are good with this

i have a 45,000 member mailing list.

I sent an email to them all on sunday, it crashed my mail sever.

One piece of advice, when you send, send in smaller chunks, somehting i learnt the hard way http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

building your own mailing list is great, you can leech the $$$ from it , or eventually sell it to some other place like www.naughtmail.com (http://www.naughtmail.com) for like $0.10/email

there are loads of free mailing list scripts, the best one is probably the one at www.solutionscripts.com (http://www.solutionscripts.com)

Hello!

I've collected some e-mail addresses for the last months and found this topic to be interesting http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

The url to naughtmail.com is not working. Any other companies that buy e-mail addresses?
