15,000,000 Email List: How To Monetize It?

Bvenetian said:

I used to successfully mail (SPAM) this niche.

What i'd do:

1. Go to Fiverr and get 2 mail servers installed with PMTA
You will use one to clean your list, which is the cheapest way to do this. The other will be used for mailing. Make sure you install your PMTA on a server that allows rotating IPs.
2. I would then find some affiliate offers, dating related such as other dating sites, casual hookups.
I had a casual hookup affiliate offer that paid $125 on the front end, despite only charging the customer $35 for their first month. They made it hard for them to cancel. Unethical.
Pickup, gambling & Crypto type offers will probably work with this list too.
3. Once you have your offers start mailing your cleaned list.
The speed in which you mail this list will be determined of course by the power of your server and how many IPs you have.
4. Costs will be fresh IPs, domains and possibly fresh servers and PMTA installs, depending on how well you manage them. As this is SPAM and you will get blacklisted.

I'd try your best to remain as anonymous as possible.

You could also go the route of trying to build your own legitimate list, getting them to optin to your own funnel and then nurture them from there.

1. Any reasons why you stopped doing this altogether?
2. Any idea how profitable this would be? I know this is a wild guess, but I am seriously unsure how profitable and how time consuming this venture would be.

I'd try your best to remain as anonymous as possible.

1. How anonymous do I need to be?
2. Should I operate out of a privacy-centric Linux distro?
3. Do I need to pay for everything in crypto?

1. 2 reasons, first, I was comfortable with the SPAMming however the offers I was making money with just felt a bit unethical for me. Second, my girlfriend at the time sabotaged my life, long story, its hard to be productive when someone is trying to destroy it.

Sometimes I do consider cleaning my lists and picking it back up.

2. With it being SPAM, not your own warm list, conversion is quite low, probably lower than a 1% conversion. It was probably making around $1000 for an hours work. I wasn't working every hour, i would craft the email, send it out and then spend the next few days watching the commissions coming in. Again, it really depends on how many emails you can get out over a span of time. You also have to give some time for people to open them.

1. Entirely your call. There is of course limits depending on the affiliate programs you decide to use and how they pay you.
2. Again, entirely up to you. I'd say yes, but I would also not let it stop you getting started if price is an issue.
3. If it makes it difficult, no.

If money is an issue just get started and improve your set up (make it more anonymous as you make money.

You are welcome! I am happy I can offer some insight. Happy Halloween to you too!
