Wanna make $3000 a week emailing? Read on!

Below is one of my 8 'online dating' email campaigns. The other all had very similar statistics although this particular one made the most money within the 6 days. The one which was doing the worst had earned $776.



Following loads of research I decided on one dating site and before I even signed up I got in contact with the head affiliate manager. Listed below is exactly what I said;

Quote:Hello. I presently work together with another big online dating website. I know my affiliate manager quite well and we've been buds for a while. My question for you is this. I deliver traffic to them by means of emailing. Having said that my emails are not 100% compliant but I do provide an opt-out url and deduct their suppression list for every email blast. When ever too many complaints come in, I make myself a brand new account, he terminates my previous one, removes all my personal data from their system and transfers my funds over to the new account. Next, I start up again. He does this to cover his own ass so it works out very well for the two of us. Would you be interested in something such as this? I earn a nice income with them and he is very happy with the conversion rates he gets from my traffic so its a home run for us both. If not, don't worry. I just think that being truthful about this stuff from the very start is the best way to go.

He agreed to test out my traffic and ended up being happy with the results. I have been working with them for nearly 2 years now.

I currently run campaigns on 3 different affiliate accounts set up with their site. The 1st 2 accounts I use totally for emailing. The 3rd account is for whitehat traffic which include banner advertising, Facebook ads, YouTube and offline traffic. Here in this particular thread I'm going to just talk about my emailing campaigns.

The vast majority of my emails are scraped online. I really don't target any specific niches or keywords. I install a few Windows VPS boxes with a good email scraper, load large lists of common names and words as keywords and set them to run 24/7.

I get lots of scraped emails each day in this manner. From here I remove duplicates then break up the email lists up into parts. I then import them to several VPS boxes installed with Interspire IEM. Each one is scrubbed against a huge list of spamtraps and their suppression list while it is imported. I Then send out a simple email to the lists. It is typically something like;

Quote:Subject: Hello

Message: Hi. How are you guys? We may be driving down to your neck of the woods soon so maybe we can all go get a bite to eat and get together for a while? I will keep you posted. Talk with you soon. David

Generally the people will think it is someone they used to know or perhaps think it had been mailed to them by accident. Nevertheless since it is not trying to sell them something, many people will just delete it after reading it. The significant thing here is that the majority of of these people won't mark it as spam and simply by viewing it, helps my IP's reputation.

By doing this I'm able to effectively parse out all the hard bounces and end up with a clean email list which is free from many spam traps and suppression emails. I then export them to another group of VPS boxes which are used for mailing out my real ads.

I try and keep my ads short and very simple. All of them say something similar to;

The campaign I prefer when emailing pays me for each free lead. I start at $2 per lead till I get my 1st paid sign up. The pay rate changes based on my conversion ratio. They pay every two weeks so what I do is send out emails as quickly as possible for the first week on my 1st account. Next, I move the traffic to the 2nd account and send as many as possible to it for 7 days. Then I cycle back to the 1st account and start over. When I do it this way, my 1st account gets tons of free signups during the first week, then in the 2nd week, some of those free joins start to convert to paying members and make my conversion ratio better for the 2 weeks. Now, no matter what I'm going to get at least $2 for each free lead however a lot of the time I end up at $3 Or $4 a free lead before the pay period ends.

I'm not going to speculate too much here because in affiliate marketing, what you earn each paycheck is always different due to fluctuations in conversions as well as how many joins you end up getting. However I will state that cash is no longer something I need to stress about. Of course I have to be careful mainly because BlackHat emailing can be a dangerous game to play. I've never had any problems, knock on wood, but yeah it's something I'm very meticulous about.

There are lots of dating sites out there with affiliate programs. When choosing one I would suggest applying directly with them rather than through one of the big affiliate networks like (Azoogle, CJ or MaxBounty for instance). One big thing you need to check into when signing up for any affiliate site is what other affiliate marketers are saying about them. In my opinion each of them shave leads. The trick is to come across one that does not shave excessively and ensure that your conversions stay pretty consistent. If you use one that makes you a lot of money the first couple paychecks, then you notice a significant decrease in conversions, 9 times out of 10 they have started shaving far too much and they are not a company you want to stay with.

The site I selected stays extremely consistent and pays out every 2 weeks just like clockwork. They keep my info safe and also let me know when I need to make a new account. Additionally they let me sign up using fake information and are very flexible with how I want to get paid. I am not going to mention the website I use here in this thread because they would not appreciate it if all the search engines started displaying that they are BlackHat friendly. However, if you would like to give them a try, send me a private message and I will tell you there.

For those out there wanting to make money online, give some consideration to affiliate marketing in the online dating niche. Bottom line is sex sells, period!

If you have questions go ahead and ask.. I will do my best to respond to them all.

I like your idea of sending that basic message to "filter" the list. What method are you using with the spam supression lists and verifying them? I'd also be interested in trying your affiliate. Happy to use your ref link if they have one.

thanks

I don't find new spamtraps myself. I don't have the time to do it and being as how I have to change out IPs so often anyways, it's not worth it for me. I do have lots of friends in the business however that are constantly sending me their new spamtraps. I also always add new opt-outs to my list and add new entries in their suppression lists as they update it.

Here's my copy of Send safe List Manager which is great for removing lists of spamtraps and scrubbing lists. It will do alot of other things and is an amazing piece of software. Just apply the reg file and you are good to go. I found it on BHW in the old email section before they took it down.
