Ask HN: Can Spamming Help?
2 comments
Can spamming help? Sure, but most mass-email platforms explicitly prohibit sending unsolicited emails. On top of that, if you were to get even a handful of spam complaints, your account will be immediately shut down.
I will be cautious in sending out emails and analyse the responses before heading.. Thanks much, Jermy( "Developing tools in the SEO")
I would actually recommend you NOT doing this.

This line, especially the "CAN SPAM act" part, seems suspicious in the extreme.

I agree, but I consider those are the users who didn't opt or not aware of "DO NOT SPAM" sign-ups.
A couple of months back, I launched extracttable.com with a post on Hacker News, a week later on Reddit and answered under 10 questions on Quora. My usual nonpaying user traffic comes from Quora and "direct" (as what shown on Google Analytics), the paid clients were from Quora and HN. Looking into the client base, as expected, 80% of them are combined from Data Engineers/Analysts/Scientists and Python developers. So, I was tempted and responded to them to check the last 3 years PyCon conference users filtered by targetted Job titles. While the price they quoted was ranging between 5-10 cents for the 60K user list, I'm just wondering to see if anyone were successful in this approach.
