    Check It Out! Buying Email Lists for CPA Offer?!!

    Hey Choppers! has any of you tried purchasing already made/compiled consumer lists? You know when you buy a list of consumers for a certain niche from a list broker.... Do you think this would work with CPA Offers?!

    Regards

    I'll beat you up if you try it.

    I don't understand how people don't get this.

    If I'm selling you 100K leads, for $200... chances are they're junky as hell. Other wise, I'd rather pump out the $1.5-2K from them. Doi.

    There are list brokers and "list brokers".

    Quality of lists will always be an issue as you do not know how the list was acquired - whether it was by consent or not. This could lead to all sorts of problems down the line. Even if a list broker appears legitimate, it could violate privacy laws in some countries.

    If it is a more legitimate list broker (professional company that sells such lists and has existed for years), then expect to pay multiple $1000s. The cost can outweigh the benefits as lists become outdated (even from legitimate sources) and CPA offers may not bring in enough revenue + they may get many opting-out as many CPA offers are viewed as scammy.

    Therefore, final word is.

    Don't do it.

    Yeah, agreed.

    What you could do is sign up for Directory of Ezines and rent a solo ad pushing a cpa offer, which would probably work, but those leads would probably be better of on your own list
