Email Marketing

Hey All…The thing is that I have started a website and have started posting keywords and content…..So now I want users who need to come and visit my website so that when the traffic increases…my website stands a chance of getting good ratings. This way the revenues that will start flowing in will be good…So can anyone out here help me out and give me some tips on how to pull users??? I was reading about email marketing on the web… So should I start sending e-mails personally to people inviting them to visit my website?? Would that be a nice way of promoting my site???

email marketing eyyy…….. Well, I do know a little about email marketing and I am more than happy to share it with you if it benefits you in anyway!!! Basically a person uses e-mail marketing as a tool to reach out to people and convey his message. Now this message can be commercial and or it can also be for a fundraising purpose… It completely depends on you… Its like every e-mail that you send to a particular individual can be termed as a part of e-mail marketing provided it contains a commercial message…. Remember…no personal messages. This way if the content posted on your website manages to impress the person, then you have a solid chance of getting some loyalty and you can also look forward to doing good business. I hope this might help you in some way!!!

Wow…email marketing…it sounds good that you are trying to include a fresh concept of marketing to promote this website of yours. I mean, its good if you learn the nuances of the game properly…lol…But yeah, online promotion through email does have a lot of benefits like one can easily distribute vital information to a large number of customers and increase business at a comparatively low cost. And don’t forget that you will also save a lot of money….Can buy a lot of hamburgers from that money…Oops… again one of my bad jokes!!! You can also keep a track on all the people you are targeting and can persuade them by sending warm and friendly messages. Once you have some customers, you can think of building up your business….Its quite affordable. Try to target forums where people are on the lookout for good content…. This way you not only have the chance to convert all these potential customers into permanent customers but also get the platform to promote your website amongst other people… Even if they do not require your services at this point in time does not mean that they might never require such help. So if you promote your site well, they might consider you in the future. And just before I sign out, a piece of advice: try to think like a marketing manager. It might work.

I saw these comments yesterday…felt like commenting myself…so here I am!!! I have observed a lot of professionals on the internet who will do this for you. They’ll charge you truckloads of money…you can do it yourself or if you have the money you can also hire a consultant or a couple of professionals to do this for you…Start setting targets for yourself. Work under deadlines and push yourself…Its only then that you will be able to get some users. Remember that there is a lot of competition out there in the market…there are lots who are better than you. So while posting emails, be very clear about the services that you offer. The more professional you are and the more clinical your approach is, the more chances you have of scoring with the users.

Apparently I tend to agree with the above comment. Companies who do not know much about email marketing turn to professional outfits who give them all that they want. But from my part it’s a sheer wastage of money unless you are completely dumb and are not willing to experiment. Keep yourself updated about the latest trends in email marketing. You can implement them in your strategy and look for results. Start a facility on your site which says detailed search so that the user get more data. Find out more ways of increasing the rate of response. Search about this on Google or on any other website. Keep reading on email marketing on different websites. Try to learn as much as you can and look for ways of flawless implementation. Be enterprising, without it things won’t go the way you want them to.

I feel like adding something more…. You make sure that the volume of emails that you are belting out does not affect the server in any way….overload can also cause damage. I think there is this per hour limit of sending emails. Don’t know much about it…But yes there is one… You are not supposed to cross this limit as the mails might be declared useless…You don’t want that to happen, do you??? There are a lot of softwares available in the market which will help you in some extensive tracking. You might encounter a problem regarding figuring out as to what should be in the mail that you would be sending to the same user again and again??? I mean…it would be very frustrating and ridiculous to sit and type different mails every week... So if you are ready to spend some money then you can purchase this software which automatically sends emails that are unique to all those who visit your website. You just need to install that software and see it work…I think it is called the Email Marketing Assistant…Check out for further details on websites.. Use it; it’ll be of great help. And trust me…Ive heard of cases where the website keeps getting repeat users…That way your business can grow big scale!!! I think this software send all the users some type of a reminder which keeps them coming for more all the time…whatever!!! The business ain’t getting affected, is it?????? You can also attract people from all over the world… The software helps you write your emails in different languages like Chinese, German, Russian. So through this software you can cut across continents and tell nationalities all around the world about your website!!! Hey do not think that I am trying to promote this software but I am just providing tips on how to expand business… But let me also tell you about some cons…… you will not be able to send more than 150 mails per hour through this software……. Just check out the web for further details….Cheers!

I also came across this video promoting this Email Marketing Assistant. I was reading something about it on the sit. Damn… forgot the name!!! The software runs directly on your server. So while purchasing the software, an individual is just supposed to pay the basic license fee and the software can be used for unlimited no of times to promoted a zillion campaigns…oops did I get too carried away!!! But yes, it is true. You can use it for a long time…it won’t let you down!!!

[helen.carter]

Just checked out the software that was being mentioned…! It seems to be impressive…but before I buy it I would like to know about its performance. How can I buy one on face value??? I mean I have to know about its pros and cons before I spend my hard earned money on something that I have not even heard of!!! Have anyone of you

Don’t talk about that thing…. I am really quite upset with it! I keep getting these emails throughout the day about these various websites which people keep launching. I mean…you can’t keep troubling people throughout the day like this! They say that this is a commercial way of marketing. I say…common…this is hogwash! They keep making these false promises of huge returns but nothing happens. They think of us as fools. They add these filthy advertisements which add more to the irritation.

Now being a developer myself, I can understand the motto behind all this effort. The costs are low and the range of distributing information is quite high. Sending the email does not cost anything apart from the regular internet charges…..But hey….we have got other things to do!!! If these guys who send these emails expect people like me to keep checking our mail boxes throughout the day….then they are mistaken. And what really drives me bananas is that the same people keep sending me the mail again and again. They have this unbelievable audacity to write the same stuff again and again in different styles and think that the readers will not be able to understand anything and will fall for the trap. And the embarrassing part for them is that most of the mails that they keep sending must be categorized as spam…You know why???...Let me tell you that I am a very smart reader… You can’t fool me just like that! It will take a lot more to make me take up one of those products that these guys are trying to sell… If they really want to sell me something then they need to write a letter requesting me to buy the damn stuff… Otherwise they can take it and stuff it…

Hello there Mr. Keep a good watch over those words which you blurt out! Even I am an email marketer and let me tell you just in case you have developed wrong opinions about people from our line of work, we have specific target audiences. We do not target people mindlessly and work in a particular direction. So all this harsh criticism about email marketers that you have in store and the malice that you have spoken about people, keep that at bay…Your comments show that you are not at all appreciative of the effort that guys like us put in…Let me tell you that it is for your own good.. The campaigns that we come up with are beneficial for everyone. And this ‘Spam’ thing that you are talking about is not actually spam. You simply termed it as ‘Hogwash’ without even thinking twice. We never send the same mail twice. It might happen, but after a period of time which actually serves as a reminder that you still can consider it!

We make it a point to never spam. Whatever you receive as a mail is all bona fide. Nothing is fake, in case you are under a wrong impression.

It is very unfortunate that a thick skinned person like you also got a mail regarding a promotion. Just in case you do not have anything else to do, give the mail a second thought. It might help you come out of the mess that you are currently in. It helps people like you to make money and join an organization where your useless services might be given considerance. And you get a career too…these mails are never trash.

And yes….what was your last statement….you want organizations to send you personal letters requesting to buy a product…..What are you….the last King of Scotland??? I think you have lost it big time! You think that you are the only one whom we are sending mails. If things are done your way…then companies will have to send out millions of letters to contact people. So I think that there is something seriously wrong with you! If you don’t want to read such mails, DON’T BOTHER!
