The odd time I will email my ex + current members about a new launch, about it. It brings in some sales, but worth it to spam the rest? Thats up to you to decide.

If you were to try to sell them on something more risque, like selling softcore members something a little more graphic, i think you might see better conversions, etc

Not sure 5k is considered that large, but if i were to give an opinion on what to expect, i'd say dont expect much.

If youre thinking about regular newsletters, I surely hope they signed up for this after joining your website/s or else youre going to have some pissed off customers/ex customers. The vast majority of members do not want signed up to any type of newsletter.. IMO
