What Happens After You Give A Website Your Email!?

What happens after you give a website your email address, and name?

Have you ever noticed that websites offer to give you something for your email address, and name? Why do they ask? What is in it for them?

In case you haven’t noticed already, we are offering to give you a free eBook that will teach you how to make money from nothing online. But why do you have to give us your email address, and your name?

Now, granted that every website out there has its own agenda, many of them simply want to send you their newsletter, and as a person interested in what certain websites have to say. YOU SHOULD WANT TO RECEIVE THE NEWSLETTER! Why? Simply because many website owners are very familiar with the content, and information they provide on their websites. When new and interesting things pop up, they want to be able to notify you because you showed interest in what ever topic their website is about.

For Example:

On this very website, “DontBuyThatYet.com” we offer you a start to Internet Income education. But, there are always new educational courses and products becoming available every day. With the good ones come the bad! So we want to continue to offer “You” the visitor of our website with new and useful reviews of these products!  To get off on the right foot, we are happy to give away a step by step guide to taking your first steps to making an income online, or otherwise called “Online Business”.

Many websites have great information, that many people are excited to receive. However, with the good comes the bad.

So what do the naughty websites do with your information?

This is known as “the dark side” of Internet Marketing. We call it that because the people that have the ability to build websites, and get many visitors to them use this ability to abuse peoples email privacy.

So how do they abuse your email privacy?

There are a few ways that “the dark side” will abuse your information and trust. One popular method is to gather all of the leads (leads are what sales people call your name and email once your information is in their system) and sell them to the highest bidder. This is rude beyond belief because your email will become swamped with every offer imaginable. You will receive emails only trying to get you to buy something from them, and it will come from someone that you do not even know, or have never heard of!

Another way they like to abuse your trust is to send you all of these offers themselves! They love to do this for some reason, and it is also very rude because you gave them your email under the understanding that they would send you useful information for a topic or niche that you have a lot of interest in. When they just simply send you a link to buy something, well needless to say that doesn’t really help anyone but the a-hole sending you the link.

So what should you do? Should you just ignore all email opt-in opportunities that come up?

If you ask me, I would say 100% NO. You do not want to just ignore all of the valuable useful knowledge that becomes available to you once you opt-in just because of a few bad eggs! I have opted-in to a few lists that have given me the knowledge to earn more money then I ever though possible with my online business. I never would have seen all of that free knowledge that came my way if I hadn’t opted-in.  So opt-in because if they abuse your information, you can easily opt-out, or just click “Spam” in your email. Both of which will stop you from seeing their emails again!

Over all, good or bad?

In my conclusion, and sorry to keep it kind of short here, but I have a ball game to get too(:  I would opt-in to websites you feel have good quality information on them. If they have something you are looking for, or interested in learning more about, opt-in. See what they send you, and opt-out if you do not like it. After you opt-out, they are not able to send you any more emails because the mass email submitter will not allow it! So you are safe(:

Best of luck, and as always I hope this sheds some light on this technique used by so many websites!
