    Can you compete with a mailer?

    Was having a discussion with someone the other day, and it came up that people who run galleries, or tgps or free sites or avs upsells or whatever can't compete with a mailer with a productive list. Do you think it's possible? Discuss.

    TGP owners can't even come close to real mailers.

      not in terms of raw joins, but since bulk mailing is at heart a scam and becoming illegal they'll beat you in the long run.

      not ALL bulk mailers are scammers, but it's a scammy type of thing and even the 'good' ones won't be able to resist that easy money they're used to when it's no longer legal.

      I could be wrong.

          Your wrong.
          Have you heard of the CanSpam law?
          Went into effect January 1 2004, signed by George W. Bush.
          Spam is legal as long as you follow a couple of requirements.

            IMO, mailers cannot compete with TGP galleries, AVS, or freesites.

            However, it is a tricky business to get into, and the consequences for taking a step into the wrong place are very high.

                Interesting take on it. An established mailer can send 100 - 500 joins in a mailing, and a run of the mill webmaster sends what? 500 - 1000 sales a month?

                    It's a fine line, but I'm talking about opt-in, legit mailers.

                        Legit opt-in mailers? Good luck finding some.

                            I'm surprised you wouldn't be close to competing, you had more than a handful of good SE listings (and still do).

                              The stats for a run-of-the-mill webmaster is a bit overstated. I'm thinking 150 sales a month sounds reasonable (averaging about 4 sales a day).

                                Well I do mailings too (own harvested double optin) doing 6K$/mailing (200 joins)... it's a start And the google thingie.. no way near 100 joins/day. Not by a long shot

                                    I know that's where I was at whenever I first started into this industry.

                                    500 is a bit too high, considering at $30 a sale, that's like $15,000/month.

                                        Apart from the money thing... the work for (SE) spamming is so much more bearable (and interesting) than the daily grind of running TGPs.

                                                I see you have internet jact, welfare cheques must be coming through like clockwork!
                                                It hasn't come in yet, boy do I ever hope they don't cut me off! I wasn't able to pay them last month!

                                                Idiot.
