Steve Jones Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I think we should start a campaign to rid the internet of Standard Emails! To me, once again, they are Spam. Our agreement is that to send emails, we need to read emails to collect enough credits to mail to the other members. So, why do we get a Standard Email? We get no credits. We did not agree to get "no credit" emails. They do not help us achieve our goal. There may have been a time that these were useful, but they are just an irritation these days! List Solos. They are starting to be an option on some sites. At least you get credits, and more credits than a regular List Email. You do have to pay a small fee of around a buck, but there's also an added benefit for the reader and some sites have more members than others so you get a good bang for your buck. These make much more sense than Standard Emails to me. What do you think? Johnnybync and KarasevLS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Olander Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'd have to agree that standard emails are pretty useless now. I think some sites have them or keep them because either they've had them forever already, or it just comes with the script so it is a feature they've kept. Telling such owners that you only want credit mails may get them to change up how they are running their site.

Jerry Iannucci Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I agree with Darren about the standard mailers. Some of the older scripts have this option as a default so I assume most owners just leave it as it is. I think solo mails are great as long as the owner doesn't abuse it. Selling too many solo ads just diminishes the effectiveness of the regular credit emails. If you can earn enough credits in a day from just reading solo ads why bother with the rest?

Great point Jerry. I'm not a fan of solos personally - which is why I don't sell them at my sites - I mean if you want to reach the whole membership just have enough credits or upgrade.. BUT if you are to sell solos I feel the credits people earn for reading them should be the same as regular credit mails (unless you send like only one or two solos per day, then it's probably ok) so users won't feel a need to completely ignore regular credit mails. For example, I've seen sites where I received dozens of solo ads per day and they offered 10 times the credits as the regular credit mails - so in that case why would I ever read the regular credit mails when I can just read all the solos and earn way more credits?

paulserban Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's right Darren, I have some sites where I read only solo ads, because the credits for a link are too low and I consider that I waste my time to surf credit links. If would not be a great difference between one and another, normally I should read both of them.

KarriDaltonHull Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I agree i've quit a few sites that I was getting dozens of solo ads from. I didn't want to have to pay extra to send the solo ads myself but figured nobody was reading the credit links with so many solo ads coming in. Seems like i was on the right track.

market101 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have to agree with all of you. Solo Ads are rapidly replacing email ads. Whether or not people read them or just click on them for the points would be an interesting debate. But, what about bulk email? We seem to be shying away from that subject.

Kenny Kolijn Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I'm only using safelists that reward me with credits for every email I read. I agree with Jerry, if people just scan for 'solo' in their inbox because they know they get much more credits , regular credit emails can get lower results.

Christygal Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I always just assume that the more it costs, the better it probably is lol Free standard emails = probably not very good. Credit emails = a bit better as there is incentive to click my link List Solo = A bit better than credit mails Contact solo = the grandaddy because it goes right to peoples main contact email and costs the most.
