Why I LOVE Spam
You know... most people hate spam and to be honest, up until recently, I absolutely hated spam as well.
But, now I've come to the revelation... if you can't beat 'em (and you can't), at least learn from them!
See, spammers can only spam so much. You can only abuse a list so much before it looses it's value to you and you have to spend more time getting a list from somewhere else... At least this is what I have been told.
It's because of this reason that most email spammers need to send an offer that works! They need a niche that is actually rockin' it. They can't waste their time sending out emails for Tickle Me Elmo Dolls when everyone thinks those things are creepy as heck now.
So recently, I have been researching each and every spam email I get. I'm like a student to their evil methods. Why? Don't worry, I don't plan on spamming your inbox.
I research these spam emails because you can learn a load of information from them including: what headlines are working, what catches your attention, what images are they using (meaning what demographic are they indirectly targeting?), etc, etc, etc.
I even take notes sometimes on what areas in a niche are hot. For _________ niche, what offers are working and how... etc.
Now, generally you can tell a good spammer vs. a bad spammer so sometimes you can't really learn much. But overall, you can get an idea of even new and creative headlines to use for ad copy or a large headline on the top of your page. And... Ya know, a lot of times it helps to have somewhere to start.
So save those spam emails and take notes... someday they may just help you.
P.S. This is not an invitation to spam my inbox with useless crud.
