Read Here...]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="color: rgb(178, 34, 34);">Hoax Emails | What Is The Definition of Internet Email Hoaxes?..</h1><h2 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">Hoax Emails As The Means for Spreading SPAM</h2><h3 style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);">Hoax emails are simply put &#8230; the equivalent of chain letters!</h3><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;"><img
align="left" alt="Email Hoaxes Engulfing Earth Like The Chain Letters" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-161" height="250" src="http://OptinEmailMarketingList.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Golden-Email-Signs-Surrounding-The-Globe-Small1.jpg" title="Email Hoaxes Surrounding Earth Like The Chain Letters" width="275" /><strong>Hoax emails</strong> are usually sent as alerts for &#39;new viruses&#39; or some other times just telling interesting (sometimes funny, sometimes sad, often scaring) stories of something for free, new laws, raising funds and much more&#8230;</p><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">All hoaxes have one thing in common: <span
style="color: red;">they are not true</span>; in particular &#8230; email hoaxes especially!</p><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">These usually serve as a means to collect email addresses from the unsuspecting victims&#8230; further on, adding the names and emails to SPAMMING lists, eventually sold over the Internet to email spammers.</p><h2 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">How To Check Out A Hoax Email</h2><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">Here&#39;s how it happens&#8230;</p><ol
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;"><li>The &#39;originator&#39; comes up with a story that appeals highly to human emotions, like FEAR, PITY, etc&#8230;</li><li>They send it to a list of previously proven &#39;forwarders&#39; (harvested maybe from another email hoax list)</li><li>The &#39;forwarders&#39; get the hoax email in their Inbox, open it regardless of the dangers and start reading;&nbsp; often times they get &#39;touched&#39; by the story and decide to share it with their friends and&#8230; why not?&#8230; even all their email contacts.</li><li>The &#39;forwarders&#39; then just add their own people to the already sizable bunch of emails there (*please note that usually they come in plain sight, in the To field, for everybody to see (Bye-bye privacy!) and hit the forward button.</li><li>At some moment in time, the hoax email comes back, eventually, to the &#39;originator&#39; who then grabs all the added emails and compiles a new fresh list of people to be sent hoaxes and after that, more SPAM email.</li></ol><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">So, first thing to be done if you want to learn how to check out a hoax email is to look for the above signs.&nbsp;</p><ul
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;"><li>Do you see the above pattern?&nbsp;</li><li>Is the &#39;originator&#39; signed up somewhere, as a real person that could be contacted offline?<br
/> <em>(phone number, snail mail address, etc?..)</em></li><li>Look for the telltale phrase &#8211; <em><span
style="font-family: trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;">&quot;Forward this to everyone you know!&quot;</span></em> <br
/> Beware!&nbsp; The more urgent their plea is, the more suspect the message.</li><li>Also be in the look for the usual <em><span
style="font-family: trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;">&quot;This is NOT a hoax&quot;</span></em> or sometimes <em><span
style="font-family: trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;">&quot;This is NOT an urban legend.&quot;</span></em> Most obviously by now &#8230; it means exactly the opposite.</li><li>Beware of the internet hoaxes that claim to be backed by reputable organizations, governmental agencies (see for example the FBI email hoax) and such.<br
/> Remember, although these email hoaxes try to attribute the text to &#39;legitimate&#39; sources, or many times implying that powerful corporate or especially government agencies have kept that information from you &#8230; think with your own mind <em>(don&#39;t fall for the &quot;Men In Black&quot; craze)</em></li></ul><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">Bottom line is this: What smells like a rotten egg &#8230; usually IS a rotten egg!&nbsp;</p><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">There are very few examples of chain letters that have proven to be real; for instance, the case of the missing student Eddie Gibson.&nbsp; But press titles were screaming at the time though: &quot;Missing gap year student&quot;</p><h2 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">Email Hoax List | A non-exhaustive list of NOT all the most known Hoax Emails</h2><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">Some very well known world wide spread email hoaxes have to do with:</p><ul
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;"><li>various email viruses alerts,</li><li>fake Microsoft messages,</li><li>celebrities related hoaxes<br
/> <span
style="font-style: italic;">(like the Michael Jackson death video hoax),</span></li><li>the global warming hoax,</li><li>the balloon boy hoax,</li><li>the perfume hoax,</li><li>the New York Zoo hoax,</li><li>the Moon landing hoax,</li></ul><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">etc&#8230;</p><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">The above email hoax list is not exhaustive by far&#8230; nor did I intend to make it the list of all <em>hoax emails</em> either.&nbsp; You may always read more about how to check out a hoax and related stuff on Wikipedia if you want.</p><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">My point was this, though:</p><h3 style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); text-align: center;">Don&#39;t Forward Hoax Emails!<br
/> This Is Basic <a
href="http://optinemailmarketinglist.com/category/email-etiquette" name="Email Etiquette" target="_blank">Email Etiquette</a></h3><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">You will, for once&#8230;</p><ul
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;"><li>irritate those that do not spot the hoax and</li><li>they will probably pass it on, causing more irritation (and you help the SPAM grow this way, too!)</li></ul><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em; text-align: right;">&#8230;while those that identify the email hoax will most likely be either pissed OR sometimes kind enough to reply (or better) send you a new message, to let you know that you have fallen to an urban legend hoax.</p><h3 style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);">And don&#39;t treat April Fool&#39;s Day Pranks as Internet Email Hoaxes either&#8230;</h3><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">Now&#8230; if you had such experiences that you&#39;d like to share &#8230; when you had either fallen for a hoax, or spotted one (tell us how) OR if you&#39;d like to see a particular email hoax added to the above list of email hoaxes &#8230; please leave a comment below and let all my readers vote for its popularity (use the Like button, folks!)&nbsp;</p><p
style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51); font-size: 1.2em;">The list of all known email hoaxes should contain your own experience with <u>hoax emails</u>, don&#39;t you think?</p>Tags:<a

style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>A</big>nother myth they feed you upon is that OBVIOUSLY <em>(so they say&#8230;)</em> the resulting extra step will make the Double Opt In List more responsive to your marketing messages and as a result, more willing to buy stuff from you. </span></span></p><p

style="text-align: right;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><em>&quot;Do you really want to buy this from us? If so, please sign here!&#8230;&quot;</em> &#8211; just before you were&nbsp;ready to pay for the item?</span></span></p><p

style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>I</big>f say&#8230; 15-30% (the above unconfirmed email pendings) would ALL be the only NON-customers you&#39;d ever get&#8230; and ALL the rest would be the &#39;better customers&#39; who would have taken the extra step of confirming&#8230; that leaves you with the 70-85% people who would have become members of your list ANYWAY!!! </span></span></p><p
style="text-align: center;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>I</big> mean, Single Opt In or Double Opt In &#8211; they would have landed there from the first place, right?&nbsp; <br

style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>L</big></span></span><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span

/> <strong>Single Opt In vs. Double Opt In Myth</strong>! </span></span></p><p><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>I</big>s it reasonable to assume that from a thin spread source of traffic, sending you visitors/prospects as normally mixed as possible, just as in real life situations&#8230; only those 15-30% would be NON-buyers? &nbsp;Of course NOT! </span></span></p><p><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>T</big>he industry standards statistics claim that you should convert something like 1% maybe 2%.. or if you&#39;re lucky and good at your marketing, maybe 5% of the people exposed to your marketing message into buyers. </span></span></p><p
style="text-align: right;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>T</big>he rate increases by exposing them multiple times through the follow up messages, indeed. </span></span></p><p><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>F</big>rom a statistical standpoint, it would be reasonable to assume that the 10% (for the sake of easiness in the&nbsp;maths involved&#8230;) potential customers would be spread evenly between your prospects. </span></span></p><p><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>T</big>hat means 10% of the 70-85% which is say&#8230; 8% as an average &#8211; would be potential buyers already subscribed, no matter if you&#39;d be using&nbsp;Single Opt In or Double Opt In subscription. </span></span></p><p><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>T</big>his leaves 10% of the 15-30%, which is say&#8230; 2% as an average &#8211; would be potential buyers that you would loose when using Double Opt In vs. Single Opt In subscription. </span></span></p><p><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>A</big>lthough this helps me showing you that in fact you&#39;re loosing buyers by falling into the <em>Single Opt In vs. Double Opt In</em> myth trap&#8230;. it doesn&#39;t even stop here! &nbsp;You see, 2% is not even much&#8230; </span></span></p><p

style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>T</big>he trick is that it refers to the initial exposure, ok? &#8230; the product/service that you have marketed to them in the first place. </span></span></p><p><span

style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">Step 1 )&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Build a Single Opt In eMail List to start with.</span></span><ul><li><ul><li><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">Offer an initial freebie (ethical bribe) to entice people to subscribe to your eMail Newsletter or eMail List.</span></span></li><li><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">Use an upsell after the visitor was converted into a list member, on the &#39;thank you&#39; page of the initial list builder.</span></span><ul><li><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">If they bought go to Step 2.</span></span></li></ul></li><li><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">For the people who won&#39;t take the upsell, use a downsell, even, to try once more&#8230;</span></span><ul><li><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">If they bought, go to Step 2.</span></span></li><li><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">If they still didn&#39;t buy&#8230;</span></span></li></ul></li><li><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">Add them to your initial&nbsp;Single Opt In Email List and start the follow up sequence, exposing them a few times more to the same initial upsell/downsell offer.</span></span></li></ul></li></ul></li><li><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">Step 2 )&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Build a Double Opt In Email List ONLY starting from people on your Single Opt In list &#8211; NEVER from other sources of traffic!</span></span><ul><li><ul><li><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">Offer a BONUS (maybe the so-called un-advertised bonus type &#8230; this is sweet!) that has an Opt In Form in order to be sent to them.</span></span></li><li><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;">Use a Double Opt In Email List this time</span></span></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><p><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><big>T</big>his way, you&#39;ll have as many people as possible entering your list/sales funnel, in the Single Opt In Mode and then you start building the Double Opt In Mode List pruning your initial list a little bit. </span></span></p><p><span

style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><big>I</big>n fact, the fiercest advocates of Double Optin are usually the third party autoresponder services (such as AWeber or GetResponse for instance.) &nbsp;For them it is much better to have their customers using the Double Optin rather than the Single Optin subscription, because it helps them keeping their email services whitelisted, due to less possible spam complaints.</span></span></p><p><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><big>N</big>ow, just imagine that you would run such a business yourself. &nbsp;While you may probably vouch for your own e-Mail marketing campaigns to be spam free, as a legitimate e-Mail marketer&#8230; would you do the same with ALL your customers? &nbsp;I bet I know the answer&#8230;</span></span></p><p><span
style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><big>S</big>ometimes, this myth goes&nbsp;beyond the simple misunderstanding, whereas some people claim it would be a CAN-SPAM requirement, instead of only a practice. &nbsp;Consequently, many newcomers will take it as a fact and further pass on this information as a given, helping to maintain the <u>Single Optin vs. Double Optin</u> myth alive and strong.</span></span></p><p

style="font-family: georgia,serif;"><span
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><big>I</big>t is only considered to be among the best practices in e-Mail marketing; but to be honest it only appears to be so amongst the e-Mail list owners who&#39;d be using such third party autoresponder services as mentioned before: AWeber, or GetResponse being the biggest players in the autoresponders&#39; industry &#8211; but not the only ones!</span></span></p><p><span

style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>T</big>he first step in order to <span
style="text-decoration: underline;">get your email read</span> is to have your email land in the recipient&#8217;s Inbox instead of the Spam or Bulk folders, hence the <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email subject</span> must have a <span
style="font-weight: bold;">low email spam score</span> to avoid the <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email blocking</span> on the way from the sender to the final recipient<br
/> (your target reader).</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>T</big>o ensure a smooth delivery and avoid the <span
style="font-style: italic;">email block</span>, you should keep in mind a few <span
style="font-weight: bold;">good email subject lines best practices</span>, such as:</p><h2 style="color: #990000;">Spam Subject &#8211; Shouldn&#8217;t Be Used Ever!</h2><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>D</big>on&#8217;t use <span
style="text-decoration: underline;">HTML subject lines</span> written in CAPITALS ONLY!<br
/> <big>I</big>t is similar to when someone yells at you &#8211; I would delete such an email promptly as soon as I&#8217;d get a glimpse at its subject line.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>D</big>on&#8217;t use <span
style="font-style: italic;">spammy subject lines</span> filled with crazy characters like the one below:</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; font-family: Georgia; text-align: center;"><p
style="text-align: center;">.•*`¯¯`*•. . . CAN YOU SAY, FREEDOM??? IS THIS YOU? . . .•*`¯¯`*•.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; font-family: Georgia; text-align: right;"><big>N</big>othing screams &#8216;<span
style="font-weight: bold;">spam subject</span>&#8216; louder than these&#8230;</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>T</big>he first thing someone will do IF somehow the <span
style="font-weight: bold;">spam email</span> manages to get through the <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email spam filters</span> along its way&#8230; is to delete it.<br
/> <big>S</big>o in the end, you not only risk being blacklisted for this behavior, but you will get no benefit from these <span
style="text-decoration: underline;">spam emails</span>, anyway - nobody reads them.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>I</big>f you&#8217;re not sure (although the example above is pretty obvious) run your email through a <span
style="font-weight: bold;">spam trap software</span> or <span
style="font-weight: bold;">anti-spam service</span> to determine your <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email spam score</span>.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>A</big>s a rule of thumb, try to keep your <span
style="font-weight: bold;">spam scores</span> as low as possible.  There is no accepted standard, each service has its own rules.  Read carefully to see what is the maximum upper spam limit and keep safely below that.</p><h2 style="color: #990000;">Write Clever Email Subject Lines</h2><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>F</big>inally, don&#8217;t use too many punctuation signs.  It is unnatural to send an email to a friend and end it with 2 or 3 exclamation marks, isn&#8217;t it?</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>A</big> question mark, though, is different &#8211; it helps build curiosity and the <span
style="text-decoration: underline;">desire to open the email</span> and find the answer.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>T</big>o<span
style="font-weight: bold;"> write catchy subject lines for emails</span> you should try to raise your readers curiosity.  Leave something only suggested instead of full disclosure&#8230;<span
style="font-style: italic;"><br
/> (isn&#8217;t innuendo always more powerful than direct proposals?)</span></p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; font-family: Georgia; text-align: right;"><big>A</big>sk a question, give them a hint of what they&#8217;ll find inside the email body, but keep the subject line clean and as short as possible.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>A</big> length of maximum 20 words would be a good upper limit, but keeping it under 5 is far, far better.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>T</big>he<span
style="font-weight: bold;"> best subject lines for email marketing</span> are designed with only one purpose in mind &#8211; make the reader open the email.</p><h2 style="color: #990000;">Best Marketing Headlines for Good Email Subjects</h2><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>T</big>o come up with <span
style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">good email subjects</span> you should first start by looking around to the media.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><span
style="text-decoration: underline;"><big>N</big>ewspaper Headlines</span> would be a very good starting point.<br
/> Remember, the writers are trained professionals who know how to write the <span
style="font-style: italic;">perfect headline</span> to make people curious and want to read more on the following page.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>T</big>his is very similar to <span
style="font-style: italic;">follow up email marketing</span>, where the <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email subject headline</span> is followed in many email clients by a short excerpt (the part that people would be able to see in the <span
style="font-style: italic;">email preview pane</span>) that is specifically designed to make them willing to read more.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>T</big>he<span
style="font-weight: bold;"> newpaper headlines</span> are followed by a short text excerpt of the article itself, to give the reader a glimpse of what is all about and then it simply says you should read the rest on page 16&#8230;</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; font-family: Georgia; text-align: right;">&#8230;the same technique is also applied on blog posts where there is sometimes a<span
style="color: #339999;"> [more tag]</span> that would split the post allowing the reader to follow it on a separate page.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><span
style="font-weight: bold;"><big>W</big>riting email subject lines</span> is no different from <span
style="font-weight: bold;">writing the best headlines for newspapers</span> or <span
style="font-weight: bold;">magazines</span>.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>Y</big>ou only need to be creative and inject into them some human passion and feelings, especially to be able to raise curiosity, but sometimes also envy or greed, etc&#8230;</p><h2 style="color: #990000;">Professional Email Subject Lines Writers Always Test The Results</h2><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><big>W</big>hatever your idea for the <span
style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">best email subject lines</span> would be, it is always clever to test before sending to a large number of people.</p><p
style="color: #000066; font-size: 1.1em; text-align: left; font-family: Georgia;"><span

The autoresponders emerged - more speed and more power for both the self hosted scripts or third party services.  However, which is better?]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Automatic Responders working for you all around the clock</h2><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>T</big>he <span
style="font-weight: bold;">Atomatic Responder</span> &#8211; as the name shows &#8211; was in the beginning just a piece of <span
style="font-weight: bold;">software</span> or a <span
style="font-weight: bold;">server script</span> that was automatically sending &#8216;Reply To&#8217; messages whenever someone was trying to contact you while on holidays&#8230;  It was also called a <span
style="font-weight: bold;">Vacation Responder</span>.  They are still available, even as features of other software like <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email clients</span> &#8211; the most commonly used email clients being Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Thunderbird, etc&#8230; &#8211; or as features of your <span
style="font-weight: bold;">webmail</span> accounts like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, to name only a few.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>B</big>ut while the feature is still available, all that is by now ancient history.  In the early days of heavier than air flight, the canvas-wooden made planes were having big wings, even two or three of them, to help getting the high air buoyancy they needed.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>N</big>owadays, the fighter jets have very tiny wings&#8230;as a matter of fact, sometimes the large wings do them more harm than good, hence the variable geometry wing technology of the latest military fighter planes.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>S</big>o, what&#8217;s the difference between them?</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em; text-align: right;"><big>S</big>peed and power, I&#8217;d say.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>T</big>he modern state-of-the-art <strong>Automatic Responder</strong> needs the same:</p><ul
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.2em;"><li>speed &#8211; to be able to send many <span
style="font-weight: bold;">emails per second</span>, hence the nickname bulk <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email blast</span> mailer</li><li>power &#8211; to be able to deal with large <span
style="font-weight: bold;">lists of customers</span> and <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email prospects</span> it gathers in its database</li></ul><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>T</big>he <em>Automatic Responder</em> evolved&#8230; Meet the new generation of <span
style="font-weight: bold;">Autoresponders</span>.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em; text-align: right;"><big>A</big>utoresponders come now in two &#8216;flavors&#8217;</p><h2 style="font-style: italic;">Autoresponders &#8211; software or service?</h2><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>T</big>his a debate for at least two different posts, I guess.  But suffice it to say that both <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email marketing solutions</span> have strengths and weaknesses, pros and cons &#8211; all depending rather on the user than the technology itself&#8230;</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>V</big>ery briefly, as I cover this topic in depth elsewhere: How to choose an <span
style="font-weight: bold;">autoresponder &#8211; service</span> or <span
style="font-weight: bold;">self hosted script</span>?</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>T</big>he <span
style="font-weight: bold;">third party service</span> would take care of all the technical burden.  If you are technically challenged, it is the best way to go.</p><p><big>J</big>ust be what you are, John &#8211; the owner of “John Smith &amp; Son Bakery” &#8211; who better knows to make bread, not deal with software&#8230;</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>T</big>he <span
style="font-weight: bold;">self hosted autoresponder</span> script however, gives you a better grasp at all the data you are gathering.  It is all in your yard, no worries about the flops of any other business than yours.  Now, if I recall correctly the “John Smith &amp; Son Bakery” has a little &#8216;Son&#8217; in there, meaning that there might be, after all, a younger geek somewhere?  If so, you should carefully consider the second option too.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>B</big>UT, being given this background, let us see John&#8230; what exactly can an autoresponder (be it a software/script on your own hosting account or a rented third party <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email management service</span>) do for you and your business.</p><h2 style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c;">Benefits of using an Autoresponder to automate your online business</h2><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>H</big>ere is a list I compiled for you, John:</p><ol
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.2em;"><li
style="font-weight: bold;">free up your time</li><li>make more sales</li><li
style="font-weight: bold;">follow-up with prospective customers</li><li>keep in contact with past customers</li><li><span
style="font-weight: bold;">automate your business</span></li></ol><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>D</big>o not be mistaken&#8230; all that automation comes for a price, though.  BUT it&#8217;s worth every penny!</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>Y</big>ou will have more time to take care of what you do best and you are an expert at:  your own business.  While there will be always &#8216;someone&#8217; to reply-to your customers&#8217; email requests, send them <span
style="font-weight: bold;">follow-up email sequence</span> messages to keep reminding them of your business and maybe&#8230; yes, maybe&#8230; but rather certainly at some point, <span
style="font-weight: bold;">convert prospective customers</span> into buyers&#8230;</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em; text-align: right;">..and all this time you were baking bread, John!</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>I</big>sn&#8217;t that wonderful?</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>J</big>ust imagine having even a modest 1-2% rate of success.  Could you afford to employ a salesman with the same results?  I bet you can&#8217;t!</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>B</big>ut the <span
style="font-weight: bold;">AR</span> (as the autoresponder is usually referred to) doesn&#8217;t need to eat, to drink, to sleep, to play, to ****, to take a break and make a vacation trip somewhere&#8230;  even when YOU have to do so yourself, John!</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>W</big>ork on your <span
style="font-weight: bold;">follow up</span> <span
style="font-weight: bold;">e mail sequence</span> only once &#8211; then enjoy all the benefits.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>B</big>uild a <span
style="font-weight: bold;">targeted email list</span> of prospects and have an always fresh pool of new <span
style="font-weight: bold;">leads</span> for your business.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>S</big>eems to precious of a word (leads) for a bakery?  It might be John, but no matter if you call them so or any other way, they will still add more to your bottomline in the end&#8230;and that is what counts, after all.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>O</big>k, I&#8217;m a bit tired now and this tends to become too long, so I will add more thoughts about <span
style="font-weight: bold;">mass email marketing</span> employing automatic <span
style="font-weight: bold;">auto responders</span> on some future articles.  Happy <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email blast</span> (or blasts?) to you all!</p><p

style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><span
style="font-weight: bold;"><big>O</big>pt In eMail Marketing</span> is &#8211; in a few words &#8211; the art of using current email technology to replace old snail mail obsolete ways on the quest to convert your casual visitors into recurring customers.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>D</big>o not be mistaken&#8230; although it is mostly used on the Internet, in fact can be also used to transform offline prospects into online readers of your weekly or monthly <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email newsletter</span> and thus into future to be buying customers.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>P</big>icture this in your mind please&#8230; would you rather joggle your motorcycle&#8217;s gas throttle to climb up the hill with no effort, or sweat pumping your heart out pedaling your bicycle up the slope to reach the same spot?</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>I</big> know where I would like to be&#8230; dunno about YOU, though.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>A</big>nyway, back to the point: <span
style="font-weight: bold;">opt in e mail marketing</span> is the easier way to go IF you know what to do and how to do it properly.  It is a strategic decision you need to make at the very beginning of your adventure when plunging into the world of Internet Marketing.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>B</big>ringing your business online is a logical step nowadays, but do you really know what to do to succeed at building a profitable Internet business?</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>I</big>t takes more than an HTML web page plastered on a pride domain name that bears no SEO value in itself and unless you&#8217;re a world known brand already <em>(but then you wouldn&#8217;t read my rants here, would you?)</em> having no future and bringing no real value to your financial wealth.  Nothing more than another visit card, maybe this time more evolved (electronic visit card, that is.)</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>A</big>ssuming your business is &#8220;John Smith &amp; Son Bakery&#8221; <em>(hey, John Smith&#8230; if YOU are reading this, pardon me, I was not thinking of you in particular, man! &#8230;But all John&#8217;s and Jane&#8217;s out there, ok?  We&#8217;re cool, right?)</em> &#8211; a web page bearing that name would definitely look great for your ego&#8230; but would bring you no more clients than you already have.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>T</big>he same old same old, isn&#8217;t it?  Auntie Marge from down the street and Big Joe from the corner.  After all, they witnessed your birth, how could they buy from another baker?</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>H</big>owever, back to square one now, presuming you would know all about building a prominent web presence <em>(I&#8217;m not going to detail that here, because it is another topic)</em> and you see a steady traffic to your website aka visitors/surfers maybe buyers from time to time&#8230; do you think they will come back soon?  Do you think they will be like Auntie Marge and Big Joe?  No, No, No, Sir!  They won&#8217;t!</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>H</big>ere comes the beauty of the <span
style="font-weight: bold;">email marketing solution</span>.</p><p
style="font-family: Georgia; color: #00003c; font-size: 1.3em;"><big>Y</big>OU, my dear John, will be soon able to summon them back to your bakery with one click of the mouse.  Powerful, isn&#8217;t it?</p><p

style="font-weight: bold;">recycled traffic</span>.</p><p

style="font-weight: bold;">email promotion</span> to your <span
style="font-weight: bold;">targeted email list</span>, you send an <span

style="font-weight: bold;">e-mail marketing automation</span>&#8230; till the time you may decide to sell your business for a million and retire happily to your dream island.  Ditto!</p><p
