How Do I Effectively Monetize My 185k Mailing List?

Hey guys,

So, I’ve got this mailing list of 18.5k subscribers that I’ve gathered from my app. They’re all interested in working online and YouTube stuff. I’ve scoured the internet but couldn’t find any brokers or websites to sell it.

Any ideas on how I can effectively sell this list? Appreciate any suggestions you’ve got! :thinking:

I am unable to perceive why you would want to sell such a large list. Why not add marketers or anybody else who are interested in solo advertisements to your list?
You may also promote affiliate products.Both options can generate regular money, which often outweighs the one-time payment you would get from selling the list.

2 items. 1 If the corporation hired you to establish that list, then it belongs to them. 2. To contact the majority of those individuals, neither you nor that company are authorized. You can attempt cold outreach or spamming, but the majority of email providers will detect this and block your account. These days, email lists are only as valuable as their curation and permission-based structure. Take Seth Godin’s email list, for instance. People expect and want to hear from him, so sending out one email may be worth ten thousand dollars. Your postal address will be blacklisted or yours will be sent to junk mail. 1998 Russia: monetizing an arbitrary email list is so 1998.

Selling your 18.5k email list is easy! Instead of brokers, target businesses that help with online work or YouTube. Clean your list first and maybe even group them by interests (freelance, editing). Then, look online for marketplaces that sell email lists - they connect you with safe buyers. Just remember to get permission from your subscribers before selling!

It is against privacy and trust standards to sell email lists without express authorization. Instead, concentrate on using the list for collaborations or focused campaigns that will benefit both parties. Rather than selling their data, think about providing subscribers with useful content or services to foster engagement and trust. Ethical marketing creates enduring connections.
