Good e-mail marketing sites..?

Question

I'm looking for a legit company that sends out bulk opt in email advertisements to interested target customers for businesses. I've seen a lot of websites but how can you make sure they are actually sending out the millions of advertisements for you that they claim? Has anyone had any success or disappointment using these kinds of companies for your marketing needs? And if so, which one(s) did you use? Thanks a million.

Answer 1

Unsolicited emails tend to have poor conversions

I think your best bet is to build your own email list

An alternative is to find someone with an ezine in your niche and advertise on their ezine

Answer 2

You need to network with the right people! A friend of mine owns a business community with 10's of thousands of members! Post a Free Business profile in our community of 100% entrepreneurs and I will help get some contacts your way. Once you start networking, you can inquire within the business community:

Answer 4

Your best bet is to take matters into your own hands.  Aweber is a very reputable email marketing company which posts all kinds of do-it-yourself tips on their blog.  Then once you're making $100 million dollars, you'll probably be happy to farm it out straight to them.
