10. Just how much spam have you mailed out?

Very little. A couple years ago I started talking with this guy who was heavy into mailing. He led me to believe that I could make a fortune doing very little work. (just by placing tiny classified ads in newspapers from my one bedroom apartment....LOL)

I got ripped off in a big way. I bought this CCbill list that had been sold and given away probably 1000 times. (Of course I didn't know this...I thought it was a "fresh list") I got a copy of send-safe, made up some text ads (I wasn't comfortable mailing pictures) and spammed away.
All in all I only sent out a few thousand emails and I think I made one or two sales. You live and you learn.

When I worked for Naughty America I handled mailers for them. That was alot different though, we'd mail once in awhile to our expired members and we also had a double opt in list of emails that had been collected off of gallery pages over the years. This was all before CAN-SPAM and all the lawsuits against mailers. Its a totally different ball game now, one that I'm glad I wasn't very involved in.
