If you are promoting any sort of program, be it affiliate,mlm,my lot, whatever, you will need to have referrals to get the most out of your program.
We can all agree we have had spam in our e-mail box at some time or other. What do we usually do with spam. Delete it of course!!! Wrong!!!
Consider reverse marketing. When you receive a spam e-mail, reply to it politely,with your offer/opportunity.If its a no reply e-mail address read what the e-mail has to say and scroll down the e-mail and look to see if there is a e-mail address. This way you are adding to your "list"
Good luck

That would be a great idea, why not. Since those spammers already know our email then let's try ride with them politely and share them what we got. Our offer may be of interest to them and be better than the one they're IN where they use to promote thru spamming...

Yes well this is very true you must have referrals, to whatever program you are promoting. I understand what you are saying but in Australia this is also called spam that is why we are encouraged to delete it, not do it like this as we are not allowed.

By doing so it would verify your address and you would get even more spam mail. This would then begin to take up more time that it would be worth in my estimation. If you have proof that it works then report back and it may just fit what we seek. Good luck.

Interesting idea. I think I will try it out and see what happens. I think it will only take a few seconds more to hit reply, copy and paste a ready made email and hit send. Thanks for sharing the idea.

I have done that a couple of times it didnt work though. I think it was a nice try. I do still try it on occasion just in case it does work. Another thing that works is when a telamarketer calls to try to sell you somehing you start talking about the program that you are promoting and that works sometimes.
