Email lists = a lot of money, right?

Hi, I was wondering how much I could sell email lists for. If I could get like 20 to 50k emails of people who invest in the stock market, do you think I could sell the lists to brokerages such as ameritrade, etrade, schwab etc.... how much would they pay for these email lists???

This is just an idea of mine, don't know whether it's possible. Some credible advice would be great!

50,000 emails wouldn't be worth too much unfortunately.

I would guess less than $1000, probably much less.

Start sending your own investing newsletter and put affiliate advertising, if the list is good you'd make much more.

Well, i agree with steve. Try utilizing for your own benefit rather then selling.

May be start charging to send ads to those people....

Just a thought though..........
