From what I hear, looks like spammers are still making a killing. In a recent episode on Magic 89.9 where people call in and reveal some work/trade secrets, a girl shared that she works for a company with a local office running a spamming operation.
This was only shared to me by a friend so the details are blurry. What really got my interest was how much their spamming operation makes.
So get this — $150,000 a week on slow months and up to $500,000 a week if they get really lucky. Now that’s a lot!
Not sure what part of the operation is outsourced here in the Philippines but it could most probably be content creation. The servers are usually hosted in Russia or some other countries where authorities can’t easily get thru to (a lot of the richest spammers in the world are Russians).
According to stats from SpamCop, total amount of spam emails in the last 12 months is 1.175 billion; 100.2 million in the last 30 days and 3 million in the last 24 hours. And that’s just counting the ones they are able to monitor.
Raking in half a million dollars a week isn’t an easy feat for spammers though. The percentage of people getting duped by spam offers are going down. To counter-act that, they just have to send out more emails to more people.
I agree with you guys!!!But what if you will get prison?
@Paul – agree ^_^
@Paul – agree ^_^
Paul,
can you share your strategies? and what do you mean by master copywriting skills?
^^
With the right strategy and master copywriting skills of course. :)
Huuaahh!!!…If spamming can make me rich, then I will do it. Of course!
Yung iba, front ang email marketing. Pero Spamming talaga sya.
As long as they earn from it, spamming will go on and on. Just like Illegal drugs and other contraband.
Great, now your title and first sentence basically says the same thing. *shrug*
actually may mga call centers d2 n may accounts where spamming is included in the job descriptions.. at ang rate nila 10-12K php..
usually eto ung online based accounts.. I’ve heard meron din nito ang apple..

@Lezuric
Ang kitid talaga ng utak mo
tara spam din tayo.. pampayaman!
Grabe pala kita nila sa pag-spam lang. Tsk.
Earn lots of m0ney by spamming,wow its a huge big am0unt.
But it will cost lots of people lost their m0ney,hehehe..Be careful to all spam messages in our e-mails or even in many social networking sites
Looking at your first sentence, you might want to change the title to “Is Spamming still a lucrative business?”
sa FB din uso na din ung spam ng pyramiding :))
