Oleg Sedelev: “Our project cannot be called spam”

Every day, most Internet users receive a couple of spam emails. But how about “spamming” yourself a bit, and quite legally?

There are many types of letters that firms would like to receive, since such letters mean potential profits for them. For example, recruitment agencies are happy to accept resumes, banks - loan requests, realtors - information about an apartment offered for sale, etc. So why should simple users search for the sites they need, register for each one, enter their personal data time and again if you can simply allow them to legally send their letters to those who are no less interested in this? In order to combine companies offering various kinds of services and consumers who want to use these services, the site www.massmailer.ru was created.

The idea of ​​the project is quite simple: a database of various commercial enterprises is being created on the site; the user, having chosen the necessary category, for a certain amount (from $ 1 to $ 5) can carry out distribution to the necessary addresses.

According to the creator of the site, Oleg Sedelev, client companies themselves register on the site, having found it through advertising. The database currently has about 3,000 companies, their number is growing.

“Our project is legal, and you cannot call it spam,” says the author of the site. - Subscribers themselves agree to receive letters. In addition, all requests are manually moderated, so we always stop spam attempts. ” Oleg Sedelev himself has a negative attitude towards spam as such, and reports that this service is absolutely not suitable for such cases, it is simply not effective and not needed for real spammers.

Investments in the launch of the project amounted to $ 2.5 thousand. Oleg expects that in the future the resource will be able to bring him more than $ 15 thousand of monthly income. The project in its current form was launched in April 2007. Since then, the number of companies registered in the catalog has reached 4000, and the number of mailings has reached 20-30 per day. Daily site visits from 500 to 1000 people.
