I’m covering: permission based email marketing; emailing people you know; and aspects of how to make your list online frustrating business owners.

Permission based email marketing

1-Yes!

Permission based email marketing is exactly what it sounds like! You are given permission by an email owner to send email.

2-Attention!

When you make your email list only of people who give you permission to email do you know what you’ve got? You’ve got your own marketplace wanting more about your stuff.

3-Interest!

Permission means you’re expected, even welcome, in an email owner’s inbox. Permission to connect also means there’s something of common interest going on.

4-Value!

When subscribers on your list have something in common you can share helpful tips and interesting news. You can include information gifts of value that earn you respect and trust.

5-Courtship?

You can put links into your email (and your gifts!) that lead to more about your products and services. You can “woo” your subscribers in a professional sense of courtship for a business relationship when you've got permission to connect.

Email mailing lists from contacts

1-Yes!

When you’ve got existing, even old contacts that remember you, you can send email.

2-But!

On the other hand, will your contacts recognize your email as being you?

3-Spam!

If you’re not recognized as being you, do you know what happens? Your contacts are as likely to mark your email as “SPAM!” to their service provider as to simply delete it.

4-Best?

By the way, making email lists this way isn't your real goal, is it? You’re looking for action. Are you sure sending email first is the best you can do?

Example with email mailing lists of contacts

1-Email lists!

Using your email mailing lists to gather information in one place is helpful.

2-But!

But instead of sending off mass emails how about being a bit old fashioned for a moment? Send postcards with your picture and a friendly hello.

3-Vision!

Add a link to your squeeze page and a few words about your venture and your vision. Connect with people by being yourself using creative ways. You'll be more effective in getting remembered - and getting action.
