Mark I think you may have hit a niche. I see many people have written about email marketing but your are the first to actually dedicate the forum just for that purpose.
I think your forum can become very good if you can attract some pros in the field. I am looking forward to be very active on the forum but as it is now all I have questions questions questions.
But hey I believe there is a saying that every wise man started from asking many questions right?

Questions are good, I'm all questions too at the moment.
Even the forum doesn't attract the pros I think we'll become the pros by our own trial an error ;-)

You right about that but it would not hurt us with attracting the pros. Any feedback from Shawn or other BumpZees yet?

LOL, I agree 110%

Building a good e-mail list is becoming increasingly difficult as more people realize that some marketers are just out to promote the next great thing -- I've actually just unsubscribed from 5 lists this morning alone.
People are realizing that they can sign up to the list, get the bonus, then unsubscribe. If your readers believe you have information of value and that you're upstanding, I do believe they'd subscribe of their own volition (i.e. no bonuses for signing up or whatnot).
Before long, the marketers are going to realize that there needs to be a shift in their marketing tactics when it comes to e-mail (I hope) and things will start leaning more towards quality over affiliate product launches.
45n5, I hope that your forum takes off. It's definitely a great idea and it may be the place where that change starts to happen.

Teli, Thanks for stopping by. I am honored. I am still trying to decide about wordpresdatafeedimport. I've heard so much good stuff about the software. Unfortunately I can't afford it at this time. Any discounts for some one like me? ;)

Hey Vlad, You're honoured? Wow, that put a huge smile on my face. You have a great blog, I'm honoured to read it. :)
I agree with your opinions on some of the current email marketing methods.
In fact I was rather jaded with email marketing and never considered it because of many of those reasons.
I realized there were "non shady" ways to manage a list after joining aweber and that go me interested in getting into the space.
There will be some hucksters pushing the latest cons as long as it works and then they will move onto the next thing eventually.
My main turn on is the "permission marketing" angle with email marketing. Instead of paying a nickel to get one sale, I can now pay a nickel for the permission to market somebody over and over, because they WANT me to. I want my emails to be valuable of course.
For instance woot.com. Tons of people give their permission to woot.com to market to them via rss and email every day and people LOVE it. Boy would it be nice to be woot ;-)

@Teli "Hey Vlad, You're honoured? Wow, that put a huge smile on my face. You have a great blog, I'm honoured to read it."
I say the same thing, Vlad. I'm always testing the limits of my literary license (to the chagrin of all my English teachers).
By the way, if you think I was pointing out the way you spelled honour, I wasn't. I'm just a freak who prefers the British spelling, but understand that both are correct. :D
45n5, I'm going out on a limb here and assuming that you're Mark, correct?
Anyhoo, you're welcome. I sincerely hope that marketers start realizing the benefits of permission marketing over coercion marketing.
Now, I should probably pop over to your forum, sign up, and post this, but I've actually created mailing list etiquette for myself. It's a list of rules/creeds that I will follow when sending *any* e-mail to any of my list members.

P.S. Vlad, last I checked 0 + 6 = 6, however, according to your plugin I didn't pass the math. ROFL

Sorry about the math plugin. I hate to go back to Akismet. Good thing you can copy the massage, otherwise that could have been the last time you ever commented on my blog.
I knew you were reffering to a british spelling that was the reason I send you to a comment about laguages in BumpZee community. I thought it was funny.
Also I sent you an e-mail via the link you left above. I hope I gave the correct e-mail "vjsolutions at optonline dot net"

Hi Vlad, Sorry it took so long to respond, but I had to step out of the office. I did receive your e-mail and you should be receiving a response shortly. :)

This is a great topic - I have found it almost impossible to get folks to sign-up unless you are promising some sort of "freebie"
In order to keep them signed up, you have to build relationship equity with them by providing them with "value-added" services and topics which do NOT sell at every opportunity.
I have started to build a decent list from my agency "sign ups" with the goal of keeping my name in front of them so that when they think about insurance, they think about me.

Yes,it's true that questions are good.In asking questions you can get any information that you might not know. In connection, I have a question. We know that in making emails we can't avoid to have a spam. How can i prevent this one?
