Email selling , if done correctly, is one of the most workable network advertising tools available. Now I am not condoning "spam" which is a practice widely used today. Spam is the sending of information (usually an advertisement for a merchandise , service or opportunity) that the recipient did not request. Sending the identical communication to thousands of people, whose addresses we are either purchased from someone or harvested from the Internet is frowned on by most all the people and illegal in some States.

If you build your own e-mail list and it contains everybody who have done business with you in the past, that could be an extremely workable branding tool. Someone who has done business with you in the past, is more likely to use you again if your product or accomadation was up to expectations.

With the ongoing wave of email viruses going around, everybody are becoming more and more reluctant to open electronic mail from strangers. If there is an attachment that could very well contain a virus. The only attachments that are normally safe to open are writing files, i.e. ending with a "txt" extension, and images - "gif" - "jpg". But be very sure that the extension does not end in vbs such as - jpg.vbs. Malicious hackers might try to fool you into thinking it is a safe document , but if it has a vbs extension, it very well might not.

With that in mind, here are some highly successful methods to get your advertisement read:

Dont make use of a phony electronic mail address that looks like gibberish or appears to be coded such as 14sTTy@yourdomain.com - this is a dead giveaway of spam and will be summarily deleted by most people.

Dont use "URGENT" or "Re: Heres the information you requested" as the subject if they didnt actually request information from you. Many many people utilize filters to automatically put emails with these subjects in their "trash Bin".

Do not utilize an e mail address such as friend@anydomain.com or addressed to friend@mydomain.com. I dont understand about you, but I do not understand anyone with the title of "friend", and I do not understand anyone (nor care to) who calls me "friend".

Never require someone to write you via "snail mail" or call you (long distance at their expense) to be removed from your list. This will simply aggravate all the people who will pay no attention whatsoever to your ad. Face it - someone who doesnt want to receive e-mail from you is not a potential customer, and continued sending of e mail only aggravates them - the consequences of this can be far reaching. You should also never send multiple emails to the identical human as that is also aggravating. This happens most of the instant with addresses that are harvested from web sites without the owners permission.

Never begin your electronic mail with "Thank you for sending acquired skill on your money building opportunity, now look at mine" or something similar. People understand right up front that this is a "come on" as most of them who receive something like this are not in business.

If your e-mail, has a statement that begins with "This email is not spam
