In the interview, Matt discusses some issues facing people using eMail marketing such as pushing the envelope of permission – you can’t transfer permission from one organization to another. Permission, as Matt points out, is granted directly to you and it’s not something you can purchase with a list. In fact, list rental done right means simply sending/placing an ad in someone else’s eMail list/campaign message in order to drive subscribers to your list.
Takeaway: Permission is granted directly to you. You cannot buy permission.
