I had a user contact me who is having trouble importing email lists created by Email List Scraper into PHPlist so I decided I’d make a tutorial for everyone to benefit from.
First things first, we need to prepare the file for import:
- Once you’ve got a list you like, Export to TXT.
- Open the text file in TextEdit or another text editor.
- You will be presented with a list of email addresses.
- Make sure the first line of the file reads “email” (without quotes) so that it looks like this:
Now that you’ve properly prepared the list, you’ll want to open up PHPlist and go into the admin control panel. Once you’re into the admin control, you’ll want to find the import section:
Once you’ve entered the import section, you’ll want to click the “import emails with different values for attributes” link:
The last step in importing is selecting the text file you’ve exported and edited and uploading it:
Click Import and:
Success
To celebrate the release of our first foray into the Mac OS X black hat tool world, Simple Email Scraper 1.0, we’ve decided to write a brief public tutorial to give you a quick overview of how you can use the application to increase your sales.
After you’ve started the program, you will be presented with a screen very similar to the one above. Starting from the top, the Domain text box contains all of the domains for email services to search. We’ve provided a great top 20 list for you, but feel free to add or subtract any domains you wish. This is easy to do by separating each domain with a comma. The next text box down contains all of the keywords you wish to search on. You can search for more than one keyword at a time by separating each keyword with a comma. If you’re using the demo, you won’t be able to change the Time Delay, but if you’re using the full version, you’ll be able to adjust the delay in between separate queries. The slower the speed of the queries, the more likely you are to receive more emails without being temporarily blocked.
In this tutorial we’ll be pretending that the niche or product line we’re looking to market is the refrigerator market. Before you begin a search with Simple Email Scraper, it is always best to input as many keywords as you can think of. If you have trouble finding relevant keywords, a Thesaurus or keyword suggestion tool, like the ones located at DigitalPoint and Wordtracker, can be extremely helpful.
Once you’ve set your email domains and keywords, simple press the Search button.
Once you’ve created a list that you’re happy with, simply hit the Export to CSV or TXT button. Save the export file to any place you like. If you’re using a mailing program such as e3 Software’s Direct Mail or a spreadsheet program like Excel, you can easily either drag-and-drop or import the the file you’ve exported to create a fully-functioning email list.
Now, we aren’t suggesting that you use our software or Direct Mail in any nefarious way. Obviously, spam is illegal. However, these kinds of research tools and scrapers can be very helpful to your marketing efforts in entirely legal ways.
We’ve finally released the final edition of our first black hat marketing tool for the Mac, Simple Email Scraper. We’re offering a demo for all of those who are interested. It can be downloaded from here. If you’d like to make a purchase, either click the register button from within the program or go to this page.
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
After reading a thread started by MontyzPython on Black Hat World, blackhatzen has decided to help Chris Monty out in his quest to quit his day job. We will be supplying some basic SEO services and private methods as well as helping to maintain the blog. If you’re interested in helping with SEO for the project, either leave a message on the thread or leave a comment here.
Here is Chris’ first post on the Day Job Countdown:
Hi, I’m Chris Monty. I’ve been trying to make money online for over 9 months now. I’ve decided that my biggest obstacle is the same obstacle that every one of us faces….MYSELF.
You see, I have trouble focusing on just one ’system’, ‘tactic’, ‘business model’, etc.
My current job is in an industry that’s suffering right now AND we’ve got THREE kids, so my wife wants me to get another J-O-B. After several heated discussions, I told her to give me 30 days!
That’s right, 30 days. If I’m not making enough money to quit my day job and make a living online by JULY 20, 2008, I WILL look for a new job.
So can I go from what I’m making now, to making $200 – $300 or more per day…within 30 days? Well, maybe I’m a little crazy, but…you’re damned right I can.
So stay tuned over the next 30 days. More to come!
Chris Monty
