Why You Should Refrain From Buying Bulk Email Lists

I am sure that you definitely have come across advertisements that read: “1,000,000 email addresses for $29.99”. And interestingly some of these bulk mail companies even offer you these names via email.
Sure, having 1,000,000 subscribers is the best thing that could ever happen to any Internet Marketer and often sounds too good to be true.

But very often, it always sound too good to be true. What many beginning marketers do not really know is that these bulk companies harvest the email addresses using robots and other wares on the Internet.
 That is 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. It is no longer a surprise how you often receive spam mails on Viagra, Fake Free Softwares and things you do not even need in your inbox. 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 owned by the same owners (one owner can own more than 1 email accounts) or possibly they are obsolete. When you read such ads again, tell yourself that it is a waste of money.
How would you like to send your commercial emails to people you do not know, but are expecting to receive such mail from you? Wait a minute. That does not sound right. How can this be?
It is simple, if you know what is really going on. Everybody who is on these lists, also known as safe lists, knows that they will be receiving emails from other members. This is possible because that is one of the conditions of their “safe list” membership.
And those who join these lists are willing to agree to this condition because they themselves would want to send out their own commercial emails to the others on the list.
The result: everyone is sending emails to each other but most times, no one is reading them!
It gets worse when some savvy members sign up for the membership using a free or less-frequently-used account to store the useless emails they will never bother to open and read. Having said that, it is always wiser to start your own mailing list and build it with opt-in subscribers, no matter how tempting safe lists can be or how many members there are in a safe list. Hope this was Helpful. Have a lovely day.

The 3 Basic And Best eZine Publishing Formats

Ezine publishers today use any one or more of the 3 most commonly used eZine formats described to you in this brief post.

Ultimately, you can decide which format is the best choice for you, though each winning format has its pros and cons.

1. The text eZine is the most commonly published.

The advantage of this format is that other than writing, you do not require any special skill to use a Word or Notepad program.


 2. While the HTML eZine format requires a certain degree of HTML skills on your part, you can add more sophisticated features to your eZine issues, making them more appealing to your subscriber thus increases your readership value, something that text eZines do not have.

You can decorate your eZine format, change your fonts, include pictures, and more.

However, the drawback often faced by HTML eZines is that they often get trapped into spam filters before they reach their subscribers’ inboxes.

3. The third and least used among the 3 formats is the PDF eZine. Publishing your eZine in PDF format can consume a lot of time and effort on your part but often make up in quality readership

Due to the commitment, PDF eZines are usually published on a monthly basis.

The great part, though, is that you can put in your affiliate links in your PDF eZine issue and allow your subscribers to pass the eZine issue around.

Given the choices, however, you do not have to necessarily choose strictly one eZine format, as some eZine publishers today do publish in more than one format.

Have a Wonderful day.
