domains Outbound = Spamming (Really???)

[equity78]

It seems like some domain investors continue to see outbound marketing as spam. It's a complicated topic: Outbound marketing needs to be done properly, making sure it does not violate the […]

Thank you of course I never publish or discuss anything someone sends me in private, I am sitting on two $1million sales.

I re read what you wrote and I see that you just helped out, you did not try to sell them anything so yes I think that's cool. I have done that with people I know, and they have always been nice, no one sending $500 hahahaha.

I have two opinions on this:

Most emails I am receiving i would consider as spam. They are sent to bulk amount of recipents and often contain domains of low qualities. I have some keyword domains in Germain and something i am receiving the same domain with an S in the end. Which makes zero sense. Receiving everyday emails like this is a pain.

Now lately i saw one user is quite active in an auction and I had some similar domains so I reach out to him. or when I made a ware that there is a high quality domain available (for example .com when i am owning the .net) I would not consider that as spam.

Thank you for making my point, @xsdomain. The target has something specific to gain so some research has gone into it. You are not simply blasting a disinterested audience with pot luck. In an owner-managed small business the person to write to is obvious so it can be personalised.

Here is a good example of spamming.

1 unsolicited email, that is not compliant with the CAN-SPAM act despite what it says.
3 follow-up emails (so far).

This is not "outbound". This is spamming.

Yeah they think if saying they are compliant makes them compliant. Where is their contact info including address?

But #4 just sounds pathetic, #Desperate. The person should maybe become a dog walker. Might have more success with that.

Spamming is not cool for sure, but domainers want to sell.

Spamming is not cool for sure, but domainers want to sell.

That's an excuse?

Some people want an easy life, whatever they choose to sell, to get paid without doing the necessary work. That's dishonest and most turn out to be fly-by-nights, here today gone tomorrow, because not doing the work tends not to pay. I seriously doubt the spammers within domaining secure the real worth of their domains and I doubt they get enough sales to keep them spamming for very long.

Others, whatever the walk of life, do the work, learn the business and go on to make a living, some better than others.

From my point of view, spam is a special term that has no points of contact with the outgoing. It is an outgoing term for sending offers, presentations to potential customers, and if they are defined and formatted in the right way, there are no contact points with spam.

But if you are constantly harassing one potential customer with one and the same e-mail and you do not receive a response from him, then it is spam.

You should definitely be careful not to damage or harass potential customers, as well as your reputation, or the reputation of your company.

Another example of spam. Fake name, disposable email, garbage domain, and with follow-up...
