Ryan, your CPA and CPL calculations rely on the numbers that are disclosed by the owners of the email list, i.e., it’s the blogger who says that he has 200,000 subscribers. But how can I verify that? the screenshots can be photoshopped. is there an independent party that audits email lists? perhaps, if blogger uses Aweber or Mailchimp, i can use use their tool to verify the count? Or some other way?

Hi, there is no issue here as the details are not shared with the advertiser – the email addresses are not sold.

The current list owner simply mail to their own list with the buyer’s offer, that’s all.

Cheers

Hi Mohammed,

Respectfully, I would like to point out a few things about this insightful post in order to help you better understand what is really going on above.

Not once was any mention of an exchange of email addresses made regarding this transaction.

Each example shown had a disclaimer from the list owner to their subscribers as they are the ones who sent the “rented” email with our offer/info.

Should the receiver of the email from the detailed drop “choose” to click through, that is at the sole discretion of the receiver/reader.

The methods shared by Digital Marketer would not encourage you to do anything illegal as they are an authority on the subject.

You can be comfortable incorporating this strategy into your plan as the method is 100% legal, ethical and does not violate anyone’s privacy rights.

This is similar to you buying ad space in a printed magazine, because you never actually know who is going to read it and take action on what you’re offering.

I hope this helps put you at ease.

Positively yours,
Coach Matthew

P.S. Thank you D.M. for providing clarity on this method of gaining new traffic.

These companies are not selling your e-mail. They are selling AD space in thier own e-mails to you. It is pretty much the same as me sending you an e-mail to an affiliate offer but now you simply pay the company to do it and you don’t hope they will.

So your e-mail and privacy is 100% safe and if they do it too much for you then you simply unsub 🙂

Fantastic article Amber. Quick question: It seems to me that the majority of advertisers who use email drops typically send their traffic right to the sales page.

I see this with Agora, and plenty of other big name direct response companies.

So while the standard operating procedure for other traffic sources seems to be to drive traffic to a lead magnet, are the rules different for email drops? Do the numbers simply work better to send traffic right to your sales page (as so many of these big companies seem to do?)

Thanks.

How does $1.56 per lead compare with DMs other lead gen strategies?

Do you keep a list of the various costs per lead?

Is there a place online that maintains a list of all the metrics like longform salesletter conv rates, upsell funnel CRs, CPC, CPL, etc?
