OK so I wanted to ask a question here on the INSIDERS forum, as not to get this out there in the open. I have obtained an email list of over 800k. Most all of those have first names attributed to them and they are attributed to the tech/finance niche. The issue is that none of these people opted into a list. I was just able to have access to them. I do not want to do anything illegal. So...
A. Do I do email marketing myself and ask 800k people if they want to opt into my list? I feel if I do this I will lose almost all of them anyway. Nobody wants to be spammed.
B. Should I seek out a buyer and sell the list to someone who knows more about email marketing?
If I can do A I think I can earn more money over time if I knew what I was doing. B sounds like a way to make a little bit of quick cash but probably aren't gonna get rich off it. So, staying within the laws, what would be a good move on my part? What should I do with this list? if anything?
Thanks in advance guys!!
