So I hear you are looking to make money online. Good news, I'm going to let you in on a little internet marketing secret known as mailing lists. If done correctly, a properly functioning mailing list can rake in major dough. But like anything else, there are proper ways to run your mailing list.

The Don'ts

1. Don't send unsolicited emails or spam
2. Don't send crap to your list
3. Don't neglect or ignore your subscribers
4. Don't Over Promote To Your Mailing List

The Do's

1. Use a double opt-in service
2. Always display a working "Unsubscribe" link
3. Send useful information and freebies
4. Abide by your local and country laws

The basic principle of a mailing list is to gather subscribers and gain their trust by sending them useful information and freebies. Once you successfully gained your subscribers trust, you can recommend products and services which you collect a commission per sale. Running a mailing list may sound simple on paper, but it takes time and creativity to tailor your emails to reach profitability.

Once you have a large active list, there is a lot of money to be made. Some list owners make millions of dollars yearly simply by running mailing lists. Once you master this art, the possibilities are endless.
