right, been playing with an email list on some of my pbn offers and not sure where to push it. feels like every forum post i see now is just do cold traffic from social. but back in like 2016 i remember people just blasted offer emails straight to subscribers and made out okay. my current numbers are confused though because ctr is garbage unless i bundle deals and that kills the commission per sale. also literally every offer i pitch right now has the same payout timeline but no cash from the actual customers for months so everything feels slow. just trying to understand if this is even still a thing or maybe my affiliate programs suck for this method completely. like should i scrap email or pivot into different creatives? lately feeling nostalgic for the old way of quick set-and-run email setups
 
Look, sending straight emails to subscribers is dead if u ask me. facepalm CTR is garbage because ur probably trying to push the same old boring pitches. bundle deals for higher CTR but then u kill ur profit margins, smh. the slow payout timelines? that's just how the game is now, unless u want to chase short-term cash and burn out quick. U gotta get creative, mix in some new creatives, maybe even try segmenting ur list better. nostalgia for the old quick setup? lol, that was a different time.
 
Old school email still works if u got a good list and not scared to get a lil spammy. but yeah, CTR sucks if ur just pitching same old, same old. maybe try different creatives or segmentation instead of scrapping it entirely.
 
ah, the good old days of blast and forget. Now it's all about mini funnels, segmentation, and pretending we're not just spamming in disguise. Honestly, I'd say scrap the nostalgia, find a fresh angle or just give up and chase PBN backlinks instead.
 
Look, I get the nostalgia but honestly that old school blast and pray method is dead unless you got a massive, super targeted list and a good offer. bundling kills profits but boosts CTR, yeah but that's not sustainable long term. Pushing the same offers with slow payouts?
 
Been there, done that. Old school email can still work but you gotta be smart about it now. Segmentation, different angles, maybe some scarcity.
 
Been there, that email game is tricky now. Old school opens and CTRs are dying fast, especially with adult traffic. If you're still relying on plain emails, you're fighting uphill. You gotta get creative with your subject lines and make that list warm again. Split testing different copy, adding some scarcity, or even playing with emojis can squeeze out better opens. But honestly, most of the old timers I knew just got burned out or moved on to other methods. If you wanna stick with email, you better have a solid deliverability game and avoid the spam traps. Otherwise, it's just dead weight.
 
Honestly, email is like walking a tightrope these days. Old school open rates are dead unless you spice up your subject lines or add some personal flair. But if you're still just sending plain emails, good luck not getting ignored or spammed into oblivion. And yeah, a solid pre-lander can save your ass more often than not.

old folks got thoughts or not, but tell me how many of those thoughts actually translate into measurable ROAS anymore?

That "experience" might be worth something but the data I see from burned budgets tells a different story. Just because you've been around doesn't mean your tactics still work at scale, right?
 
haha, old school email is dead if you just send bland stuff. gotta get into their heads, make it personal, or they hit spam faster than you can say cloaker. those open rates are a thing of the past if you don't spice it up

Been there. Old school email minds think they got the secret sauce. But really, most are just clinging to what worked years ago. CTRs and open rates are down across the board. If you're not testing new angles, you're already losing. Old folks got thoughts? Yeah, but those thoughts better include fresh ideas or they're just noise

Let me tell you a little story - thinking email affiliates are all old school is a trap. The truth is, the smartest ones are just hiding behind new domain names and rotating emails faster than anyone can ban. If you're not testing cold emails with fresh angles, you're prob just pissing into the wind.

YEP, monolith nailed it. Cold email is a beast if you do it right. Fresh domains, rotating emails, and a tight script can make a big difference. Old school still works but you gotta stay ahead of the ban wave. PUSH notifications are underrated too for finance offers but email? still king for conversions if you keep it fresh and legit. Just my two sats.
 
Old tricks still work if you know how to keep them alive. The data, in my case, told a different story - it's all about testing, rotating, and adapting. Email still a solid channel if you don't let it get stale or banned. Just gotta stay one step ahead of the ban wave and keep that list warm.
 
If old tricks still work, why do so many campaigns get banned so fast? Seems like knowing how to keep it alive is more about luck than skill sometimes.
 
Old tricks are like a good meme, still work but you gotta keep them fresh or they die. The game is about staying ahead, not just knowing the tricks. Bans are just the black box telling you you're doing it wrong, or your data is lying

old folks got thoughts? haha maybe, maybe not. honestly, i think the old tricks are just like that meme - they can still get laughs, but you gotta keep them fresh or everyone's bored. email's like that - still works if you keep testing, rotating your list, and stay out of spam filters. but yeah, sometimes it feels like luck is more in play than skill, especially with bans flying around. maybe it's just me, but i don't buy that some magic trick keeps you safe long term. gotta keep adapting, or you'll just be another ghost in the inbox.
 
gonna have to push back here. old tricks aren't just like that meme - they're often just lazy methods dressed up with a fresh coat of paint. in email, especially for affiliates, it's about quality and relevance. just throwing in a few recycled tactics and hoping for the best is what leads to bans, not skill or luck. if you don't adapt your messaging, segment your list and respect user engagement, then yeah, you're just begging for trouble. bans happen because people treat email like a spam slot machine instead of a channel that needs care and finesse. no amount of rotating old tricks will save you if your list is stale or your content is spammy. the game is about understanding your audience and delivering value, not just pulling out the same tricks you've used for a decade. so don't kid yourself that old tricks are just a meme they're a cautionary tale. smh.
