Bulk Emails & Web Hosting
The last 2 months I have been collecting emails at the rate of about 2000 per week. Building up a list. And sending sales pitches every week to the cumulative list! Now my email list is around 42,000 and I was sending 2 sales pitches [with all the proper links for people to unsubscribe!] to them every week for the last 4 weeks!
Yesterday to my horror one of my websites was suspended. On enquiry I discovered that I had exceeded the limit of sinding 200 emails per hour! I learnt about ‘throttling’ my email application. So at this rate I would send one message every 210 hrs. But thats not all. If the mailing list has more than a 2-3000 email Ids, only the first 200 go and then it stops!
So while I was sitting and wondering why more people were not coming to my site - it was because only 200 people were getting my email pitches.
So my hosting company recommended that I take a dedicated server and send as many emails that I want!
I signed up today for a dedicated server, but dont know how to manage it. The hosting comapny has promised to shift my websites to the new server.
Now I am excited all over again - a new light is there at the end of the tunnel!
While I am doing SEO, affiliate marketing, articles, links from forums, and a blog, email marketing is really possible now.
