Why You Should Never Buy a List

You will find on the online arena the numerous and immense number of sites that are selling lists that they claim to be very effective and efficient. These vendor sites would even extend towards making a promise that these lists will make sure fire in the building of a possible opt-in and even to the extent of having a double opt-in. Nonetheless, these promises may be so good to be so true in the real essence. So, if you are considering about buying a list from these vendors, think twice and know the reasons why top email marketers stay away from list for sale:

a. Buying a list from a vendor does not in any way guarantee that there will be an opt-in or a double opt-in. With various scamming activities happening online, you don't have a single idea how these vendors get their lists. Thus, it follows that the quality of the list is questionable. You don't have a guarantee that these lists are email addresses of your prospective clients. It is highly possible that you get an email address of an 15-year old student when you are selling adult films or content.

b. The action of buying a list from a vendor poses more threat and problems more than reaping good results. This is because the lists that you buy out are not verified and may not have been checked for validity and existence. This is even more difficult to trace knowing that you do not even know the origin or where these lists have actually come from.

c. The act of buying out a list from a vendor site is non-guaranteed. This means that after having bought the list from them, you are on your own. If by any chance the list did not generate the expected rate of return from them, then you are by no means guaranteed by these vendor sites.

d. Buying a list from a vendor does not promote hard work. The thinking that you can benefit from something that is not hard earned is a business attitude that is very wrong in nature. What is sad about it is that, it may get into your system and that you cannot get away from doing it again and again.

In that perspective, instead of buying a list from a vendor site, there are still so many and immense ways on how you can build a list on a more legal, more ethical, and a lot worry free method. There are so many opportunities that you can use in order to build an extensive list in a far high quality. All you need to do is to exhaust your effort and deal with it at your utmost dedication.
