In this article we are going to quickly discuss affiliate marketing leads, and the ONE acquisition strategy I believe you should avoid at all costs. (no pun intended..:-) The simple truth is that lots of folks JUST getting started in the affiliate marketing space will be sucked into the seductive vortex of buying huge email lists, and often find themselves severely disappointed shortly thereafter. Read on as we take a look below!
The Wrong Way to Acquire Leads:
Don't succumb to the temptation to buy leads for your business that are derived from a harvested email database. Why? They often are poor quality, un targetted names with stale addresses to boot! Plus, if you use a commercial grade ( and reputable) auto responder service, the chances are they won't let you import those names in your account. They know that the quality of the names are NOT good, that lots of complaints emanate from these lists, and it's simply a cacophony of errors, confusion and unhappiness across the board. And yes, I know it SOUNDS appealing to buy a million names for two hundred bucks, but trust me when I tell you, if they had ANY value at all, the list owner wouldn't be giving them away!
The Right Way to Acquire Leads
Build your own! It's simple, safe and proven to work over and over, and over again! Does it take longer? Absolutely. But these are YOUR names, that you acquired through hard work and adding value, and in my experience ( 15 years of direct marketing on and OFF line as well) a "house" list is the most valuable asset ANY marketer can have! I think you'll agree, if you follow the same path, the same is true for you as well..:-)
