Lists like that get a 15-17% open rate(# of people who view emails)...and out of those 3-5% click rate(# of people who click on the link)
So that 50,000 list = ~400 clicks.
Even if every one of these converts(not going to happen), that's only 400 sales.
Even the biggest names who sell these info products, the guys who have their own lists with 2-3 million emails, and who have tens of thousands of affiliates...only manage to make 5-10 million a year in revenue. Before you take into account the 75% commissions they pay to affiliates(pretty much a must have now).
