New to email marketing- List of 40 k subscribers

[mkeating3]

Hi Gang,

As the title states I am new to email marketing with lists this large. I'm also new to affiliate marketing in a sense. I have a list of 40,000 subscribers that I have gathered in the insurance niche.

My questions are as follows:
1. What kind of affiliate offer should I send?
2. Should I do one blast or create a drip funnel?
3. What email marketing service is best?

Any other insight would be greatly appreciated

- MK

Step 1: Delete Scraped List

Step 2: Build Subscribe form

Step 3: Send traffic until you get 40k subscribers

Step 4: Post question on WickedFire again

If you have scrapped or bought the list, forget about it. Create your own list, building relationship with your subscribers and then sell them the offers you think they will be interested in.

define "gathered".

What's the going price for these lists now? I'm simply curious.

Use Aweber and email the list everyday. Offer them an affiliate product twice a month and you will flow in money. But you must become their friend, you must show up in their inbox everyday.

aweber charges a bunch of money for storage of the list, I'm looking for a good ESP that I can use to mail my opt-in list with a flat monthly rate or per mailing charge...

any suggestions?

Thanks for the information everyone. I will be sure to check out what was recommended. And your assumption that the list is scraped is wrong

Cheers!

what niche is the list in? where did u "gather" it from. I used to mail TONS of GI data every day, and if you dont know the demo of the emails I would try insurance and Biz opp stuff.

There are tons of good insurance related CPA offers on CPA affiliate networks. But build a list of real subscribers, don't spam those people who haven't opted in to you anyway. Throw 40k email addresses off the window.
