Whats up, WF?

I'm clearly a rookie on these forums, but I've been picking up IM through far dumber methods for the past half year. Bare with me, as I make a proposal:

I am currently renting a house from a woman who is, apparently, a gourmet chef in her spare time. She tells me that she has a pretty large following to whom she sends "Recipe of the Week" emails. Apparently she is providing some pretty quality information - I'm yet to check out one of the emails but I do know that she is sending to at least a couple thousand people.

She currently has NO method of monetizing this list - she is doing it for her own kicks. I mentioned that she could probably make a lot of money if she added some form of affiliated monetization to the recipes. She is definitely interested and said she was willing to let me take care of helping integrate some cash flow into her list for a cut of the income it will generate.

I have listed this thread in the Buy/Sell section of WF because I am aware of my own inexperience and would like to do a great job with this. I would appreciate advice regarding my options and potentially, someone to partner with. I would be looking for someone with proven experience and an interest in Gourmet Chef'ing / some extensive knowledge of marketable cookwarez / the willingness to work with and perhaps even mentor an inexperienced yet very capable nub.


Thanks for checking this out - replies and advice will be much appreciated.
 


That list really isn't that big. I have had lists twice that size for lonely desperate men looking for dating shit. If I was to monetize it thought, I would look at the demographic. If they are usually all up for recipes, hit em with the Slap-Chop. Make it look like you found a wonderful cooking utensil and run it through Amazon. That or hit them with diet and weight loss shit. Skin care maybe? Your demographic is probably mostly 30-60 year old married women.
 
800k does seem a little inflated,.. but she also owns her own consulting(?) business with her husband which is very successful- I think the guy has been published in Newsweek with the authority of being CEO of his company. So she isn't some random part time wannabe chef I rent a house from... I probably should have mentioned that.

I was hoping to get some less obvious advice - fuckin' slap chop? Ideally, I was thinking of offering something of higher quality that will not degrade the quality so crassly and that could be incorporated at least semi-cleanly into what she is currently doing.
 
Dude there is no way a part time chef has 800,000 emails.
This sounds like a scam to get one of us suckas to mail your CD-ROM list you bought for $10.
PM me with 10-15 leads from the list, I'll know in 5 mins if they're genuine.
