List Building Methods You Should Refrain From Using
------------------------------------------
Hi [%FirstName%],
This happens every day (and maybe every hour, too). And when
this happens, I can almost say: "Bad move!" or "Money down the
drain!"
These are methods you definitely won't have my endorsement -
or even your own, for that matter, when you discover how flawed
these list building methods can really be.
Buying Bulk Mails
==================
Sure, you have definitely come across ads that read:
"1,000,000 email addresses for $29.99". And these bulk mail
companies can even offer you these names in a CD at your
doorstep.
Sure, having 1,000,000 email addresses of subscribers is
cool and often sounds too good to be true. Well, that's TOO
GOOD TO BE TRUE alright!
What many do not really know is that these bulk companies
harvest the email addresses using robots and other wares on the
Internet. That's how the 1,000,000 email addresses come about,
whatever the amount is.
Now, the really awful part is that if you purchase the
so-called 1,000,000 names even at a low price, not only is it a
waste of money, you are risking being accused of spamming.
That is so possible, because of the 1,000,000 names, no one
knows you or even ask to be subscribed to your mailing
list.
On top of that, not all 1,000,000 email addresses are really
in use because a portion of them can either be own by the same
owners (one owner can own more than 1 email accounts) or are
obsolete.
When you read such ads again, tell yourself that it's a
waste of money.
Free-For-All (FFA)
==================
This used to be the hip and happening in the early 2000s,
but FFAs no longer work today, since FFA businesses are no
longer viable and are solely set up to benefit their
operators.
Thus when you hear of FFA, you will do well to refrain from
it, because apart from submitting your ad or message to
so-called 1000s of sites for FREE, you have unknowingly signed
up to be on the operator's "spam list".
Guaranteed Traffic
===================
This is yet another tempting offer that sounds too good to
be true. I won't go into the details of how guaranteed traffic
really works, but do remember that it's a rather tricky
offer.
Guaranteed traffic offers can go like "100,000 visitors for
$29.99". While it is true that you can get 100,000 visitors to
your website, ultimately you won't be getting any sale or even
decent subscribers.
This is because the traffic operator gets your traffic by
popping up windows on other web sites, and loading your web
site into these windows.
These windows containing your web site will sit below the
current window of an Internet surfer who is looking at another
web site in his window above yours, therefore the window
containing your web site is in a pop-under window.
Remember that you will also be getting untargeted traffic,
people who are not willing to buy either.
In the Next Issue
==================
We'll discuss on how you can create a massive
subscriber-pulling machine, namely your Landing Page. I will
show you how you can convert the most of your visitors into
subscribers the moment they visit your webpage.
Until the next time!
Sincerely,
[%Name%]
