Don't ask me how, but I built a database with more than 3 millions emails and other contact information such as address or telephone number, most of them valid. Is there a way to monetize this bunch of emails?
TIA
In my humble opinion, no. The best you could do is sell it to a sucker who doesn't know what he is doing.
But it would be very, very difficult to use such a large list to generate sales. First, it would be VERY expensive to maintain in an autoresponder. They generally charge by the number of emails. Second, a TON are going to get bounced the first time you mail to the list. Autoresponders hate that, so your account might even get suspended. Third, it is not a targeted list, so you will get a VERY low response rate.
It might be valuable if you could break it up by source, demographics, etc. Then you could have a much smaller, targeted list that might have fewer bounces and more responses. You might be able to sell to such a list, or sell the list itself to someone in that niche.
This is setting aside whether emailing to such a list would violate CAN-SPAM. You'd have to look into that yourself.
