Jere answers:
The emails you are receiving sound like borderline spam, while it’s acceptable to send a promotion for someone else’s product to an email address you have a relationship with, it’s not considered ethical to share email addresses with other companies.
There are email list brokers, often the same companies that collect snail mail lists too. Many list cost thousands of dollars. Spam Can regulations specify that emails are to be send only with the recipient’s permission, internet postmasters are on the lookout to halt multiple mails from a single source. You might look into buying ad space in targeted emagazines.
Marketers will set up campaigns solely for the purpose of creating their own email list to which they send useful information, promotions for their own products and products of joint partners who swap mailings. Marketers may value their mails list ot be worth $1 per person, per month. The email sign up campaigns will generally offer an enticement, like a 20 page report that people have to sign up for, later a first contact email is sent asking them to verify that they have signed up to the list, this best practice is refereed to as double opt in emails.
Services that automate the email marketing process and also improve email delivery rates called auto responders, aweber is the biggest name in the field, charging $20/mo to send out predefined sequences on emails.

Betty asks…
how can i get people to opt in of my email marketing list.?
i have a few sites, which are normal sites, selling good products.
how can i make people opt in to the site, so that i can send them emails on various updates to the site.

Jere answers:
For that you probably need a auto responder service like aweber or get response.
If you are using something like zencart to make sell products, then there is a plugin available for that.
You should first give your potential ( clients) a lot of good valuable content before singining up, after signup.
And make them buy something really good.
