The Three Types of Email Marketing List

Before you enter into the world of email marketing, let us discuss the three types of email marketing list and their potentials.

First type was the email addresses that are sold in bulk. These email addresses contains people who showed interest in a certain niche. They are usually in thousands or even millions. With this kind of list you need bulk mailing software or an autoresponder to put them and send them follow up emails. This type of list is poor because they have been sold multiple times and is recycled.

Second type was the ezine list. This also contains subscribers that are interested in a certain niche. You usually pay the ezine owner to send your ad to the list. There are hundreds of ezines out there and prices vary depending on the number of subscribers you are going to send your ad. You will need to do a little research on the ezine owner you are going to pay and how well the performance of his ezine into the industry is. You also want to do a testing because you can never really tell if it converts well.

The third type of list was the list created by you. You created this list using your marketing strategy; good landing pages, lots of freebies, constantly providing quality information and so on. This is the best email list and this list will grow if you are consistent on what you are doing from the beginning.
