… that you’ve gotten permission from your subscribers upfront.

How much is an email list worth? The worth of an email list depends on a few factors:

* your industry/niche
* on the quality of your data
* who you sell to

Roughly, you can expect to earn 30-50 cents per entry for only collected names and e-mail addresses. Or 1-2 dollars for more complete data. 
Plus, here are more advanced ways to monetize your email list:
You can send paid sponsored e-mails called solo ads or sell just a portion of your e-mail list.
If you collect detailed data you can always sell the details of those subscribers that aren’t a good fit for your business. You might even be able to sell your email list and continue using it yourself…
…these are all considerations.
Finally, if you don’t have a product or service of your own…
… but you still want to make money from an email list, affiliate marketing is always another viable option. I examine affiliate marketing in-depth here.
