I would say however, that far too many people abuse email. I read less than 10% of mine & the other 90% is what I call "spam I signed up for", meaning I gave someone my email address because I wanted to listen to an mp3 or a webcast, and then they used it to send me whatever they feel like, whenever they feel like it.And sadly, most of them think that 1. "it has value" and 2. that I "want it". Yes, absolutely create ways to engage, whether it's via email or whatever. BUT! Be authentic! If you're "giving me a podcast" to get my email so that you can send me stuff, say so! "Enter email here to receive_________ & my newsletter" or whatever! And ask what I'm interested in! When you sign up for a software demo for example, they ask you to check off whether you want to receive updates, etc. Do the same! Ask your visitors if they want more info on this particular information or that or all of it. People don't ask out of fear that people won't want it. Period! So there's the rub! It's up to you to make it so valuable that they will! Thanks for the post! :) Interesting points. I would say however, that far too many people abuse email.

It's a good book, full of tips about email marketing. Still, from my own experience, you need to be very careful with email campaigns. Many people skip promotional emails and even emails with useful tips. If a person gets about 100 emails a day, there's practically no chance you can get to him or her via email. Here you need to use other means, like Twitter, etc. So in my opinion, the first rule is always “know your customers”, including their likes and dislikes, their habits and of course their needs. Thanks for the post! Really enjoy your blog. Have you read “Web Copy That Sells”? It’s a good book, full of tips about email marketing.

This is a powerful tip that is often overlooked by many people in hte internet marketing world too. The most important thing is to capture the details of the potential customer by a simple opt-in box as mentioned. You can use autoresponder services to send out email to this list to create the bond with the subscriber and convert them to potential customers if they are convinced with your expertise and willing enought to purchase your product. I agree that in this new age, it is more effective to use the social networking sites as it allows nes to spread really fast. Thanks for this wonderful tip! Wow Matthew.
