8 POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN SENDING YOUR OWN BULK E-MAILS
1. Sending bulk e-mail typically is not cost effective unless you
are sending at least 100,000 e-mails or more per month.
2. Costs to consider: ( The costs presented below are approximate )
a. Bulk e-mail friendly Internet Service Provider--$150/mo
b. Bulk e-mail software-------$350
c. Lots and lots of time to run the software. In order to
send a high volume of e-mails, you will need to send e-
mails almost 24 hrs a day.
d. You might consider purchasing an additional computer.
You will need one computer to send e-mails and another
computer to extract, sort and prepare e-mail addresses.
You can find companies which offer all of these services by
placing the word bulk e-mail in your search engine.
3. No matter what a bulk e-mail software vendor tells you,
chances are pretty good that if you try to send bulk e-mail on an
Internet Service Provider which is not bulk e-mail friendly.
Chances are pretty good that eventually your account will be
shut down. Many ISP's are cracking down on bulk e-mailers
and fining them $100 per day or more.
4. When choosing bulk e-mail software. Choose a software
which has a 30 day money back guarantee.
5. The technical support department of a bulk e-mail software
company is more important than the software itself.
6. Although most bulk e-mail software companies advertise that
they can send bulk e-mails at speeds of 10,000 e-mails or more
per hour, when sending a 10 page e-mail this may cut the speed
down to several hundred per hour.
7. Make sure that the Bulk e-mail software that you choose has
the ability to send personalized e-mails which have only 1 e-mail
address in the ( To: ) location of the e-mail.
8. You will find numerous Bulk e-mail friendly ISP's and Bulk
e-mail friendly software by searching the major search engines
under the words "ISP" or "Bulk e-mail"

than 100,000 e-mails per month, it is probably more cost
efficient to pay a bulk e-mail company to send your e-mails.

20 POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A BULK E-MAIL COMPANY
1. Most bulk e-mail companies are unable to provide you with
any documentation which proves the number of e-mails sent,
were the number you agreed upon. Your response will be your
only indication of the success of a bulk e-mailing.
2. Find at least 10 different bulk e-mail companies so you have a
good comparison of prices and services.
3. Make sure that the company you choose provides a telephone
number, never do business with a company until you personally
speak to someone at that company. If they do not list a
telephone number on their web site, send an e-mail to the
company requesting they either call you or e-mail you their
telephone number.
4. Make sure that the company you choose has normal business
hours. Many individuals provide Bulk e-mail as a side business
to their regular job. A company is more likely to give you better
service if bulk e-mailing is their primary source of income.
5. Always negotiate price, never pay the listed price without at
least trying to pay a lower price. Many bulk e-mail companies
are hungry for your business and are open to negotiate a lower
price.
6. Always run a test run of 25,000 e-mails before sending a
larger e-mailing. Although many bulk e-mail companies have
minimums of 50,000 e-mails, explain that you wish to run a test
of 25,000 e-mails before spending money on a larger mailing.
Explain to the Bulk e-mail company that if the test mailing
works, you will become a repeat customer for as long as the
mailings are successful.
Also explain that you are involved in a multi-level marketing
business and that if the test mailing is successful you will refer
their company to your downline. A reputable company which is
in the bulk e-mail business for the long haul will probably work
with you. This is because most successful bulk e-mail companies
make most of their money from repeat business.
7. Make sure that e-mails are only sent to individuals who can
read English.
8. Always ask for references.
9. Pay by credit card if possible. It is to your benefit to pay
for bulk e-mail services by credit card. Credit card companies are
very customer service oriented. If there is a dispute between a
customer and a business, the credit card company usually rules
in favor of the customer and reverses the charges. Make sure
you give your credit card number over the phone if possible
unless the bulk e-mail company has encrypted software.
10. Before doing business with any company, first check the
Better Business Bureau Web Site at
11. Make sure that the bulk e-mail company you choose can
send a 10 page e-mail.
12. Ask the bulk e-mail company if they have a referral program.
This is a program which compensates you for sending them new
business.
13. As an industry standard, most bulk e-mail companies
provide an extra 5-10% of additional e-mails with all mailings to
compensate for undeliverable addresses.
14. Ask the Bulk e-mail company if they keep track of their
mailings so that if you order additional mailings in the future
they will not send duplicate e-mails.
15. Find out how often the bulk e-mail company cleans their lists
of undeliverable e-mail addresses, flamers and autoresponders.
16. Find out how large the bulk e-mail companies database is
and how often they extract new e-mail addresses.
17. Make sure that the bulk e-mail company you choose has the
ability to send e-mails which show only one e-mail address in
the ( To: ) location on the e-mail. It has been proven that
personalized e-mails receive better responses than
unpersonalized e-mails which show numerous e-mail addresses
in the ( To: ) location.
19. Most bulk e-mail companies have wait periods of up to a
week or more.
20. Make sure that when the bulk e-mail company sends your e-
mails that they do not show your return e-mail address. The e-
mail you are sending provides your customers with everything
they need to sign up for your program. If you provide your
return e-mail address, you will receive complaints to your
Internet Service Provider and your service will be terminated.
FRIENDLY WORDS OF ADVICE
From personal experience I can tell you that bulk e-mail when
done properly can be an excellent source for new business
and can make you a lot of money.
Take my advice, unless you are experienced with bulk e-mailing,
Find a reputable bulk e-mail company and send out 25,000 e-
mails. You will make more money than you ever imagined. See
below:
The following example is based on an e-mail response rate of
2/10ths of 1%. This means that out of every 1,000 e-mails you
send, only 2 people will join your organization.
Sending 25,000 e-mails per month
25,000 x .002 = 50 new members
1st level--your 50 members with $5.....................$250
2nd level-each of the 50 recruits 2 more (100x$5)......$500
3rd level-each of the 100 recruits 2 more(200x$5 ).....$1,000
4th level-each of the 200 recruits 2 more (400x$5 )....$2,000
ESTIMATED MONTHLY INCOME----------------- $3,750
ESTIMATED INCOME FOR THE YEAR------------ $45,000
Your estimated cost to send 25,000 e--mails: $50.00
Does this look like a good investment?
Take some of the money you make from your first bulk e-
mailing and send a second e-mailing of 50,000. Next, send a
mailing of 100,000 then 250,000, 500,000 then 1,000,000.
Remember, reinvest your profits from the previous bulk e-
mailing to pay for the preceding e-mailing.
If you cannot afford to pay for a bulk e-mailing of 25,000. Place
10 free classified ads everyday until you earn enough money to
pay for a bulk e-mailing of 25,000. This business is very simple
once you get started, get started today. Send your first bulk e-
mailing and you won't believe the results.
