I hope your not spamming! Try building your own opt. in lists, they are much more effective than spamming a crappy list.

yeah definitely - dont spam... its crap. i use a product from xtreme; it handles all of my opt-ins (where the visitor clearly opts-in) and then it handles all the follow up emails.... great return on that investment...

Not sure what type of message your looking to email blast, but I can help you out with it if your interested in doing a whole campaign around it.

Software is good for basic emails (eg. A letter, Notice, etc). But you're better off with a full campaign if you're looking to spread the word on a promotion, sale, product, etc.

Fairly affordable.. starts at $99 and includes an email design + landing page design + delivery. I don't spam so you would have to produce the list and make sure it meets our can-spam guidelines. At any rate, if you're interested... you can learn more at SevenCube - Marketing, Branding and Website Development - Better than your own Marketing Department! or just send me a PM if you have any questions. Use promo code: YE28685, and I'll throw in a 10% discount.

Hope this helps.

The best software I've used is 12ALL from Active Campaign.

activecampaign.com/12all

They have a free version so you can test it out, but I highly recommend you get the full. It has great features and the tracking is very useful to gauge the success of your campaigns.

If you need a smaller autoresponder script, check out PHP Autoresponder in my signature.

I like to avoid mass emailing because I think that it destroys the reputation of a business. I'm sure that many have been successful with this strategy, but it is not for me.

Mass emailing is fine as long as your subscribers have opted in. It's even better if they double opt-in (email verification).

Now, if you buy a list of emails and send out a message to them, that is spam, and can also be illegal in some states, so be careful.

I suggest you try building an email list the right way. Check my sig for my free ebook on list building.

I set up my own mailing/newsletter system on one of my servers using PHPlist.. with a little bit of html and coding it can be a great free solution.
