Is there anything wrong with using a previous email list?

I have 2 or 3 email lists in mail chimps that were used for other websites. Is there anythng wrong with using these emails to start a list for my niche here?

Should I contact them individually and tell them what I am doing and ask if I can add them to my website? Some of these people I know personally.

Suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks,

Mary Ann

Without permission to receive contact from the new website, you will be violating CAN-SPAM laws. If you want to reach out and ask for permission to contact, you can do so, but anything more will be breaking the law.

Were the other email lists in the same or an associated niche?

This should determine whether they are likely to be interested in your new niche.

Hi Derek,

No. Different niche althogether.

I would think twice about sending to them unless the other niche was in marketing.

Prospects signed up to the list to learn about the niche that list is covering.

It's your choice Mary Ann Remember your traffic is the ultimate determination authority!

Thanks Mike. Do you see anything wrong with it though? And would it be courteous to at least make contact with them?

If some seem like promising list leads, go for them!
