    I personally feel that e-mail marketing doesn't work anymore. It's so 1999.

    For God sake....I swear its work for me.
    But here some rules to apply :
    1. Make sure your email is targeted to certain niche or else you will dump yourself paying too much for autoresponder.
    2. Double Opt-in, although most IM out there told you for single opt in, but myself don't convert well with it.
    3. Always deliver value first before profit. Give benefit first to your subscriber

    There's a lot more to learn about email marketing. The quote "money in the list" still work today at least for me.

    All the best

    OP - Unfortunately it would take full books to explain most of your answer to you.

    The type of marketing you do depends on your Niche.

    If your Niche is pop-culture you would market to Facebook or Twitter
    If your Niche is Making Money Online, Email campaigns still work - (To get people to join your list you need to give them an incentive)

    By the mere asking of your question, it would seem that you still have a lot more research to do. -which is why I guess you read this forum.

    Best of luck

    Email marketing is an effective way of communication between online marketers and their subscribers. And email marketing software is a must-have tool for everyone who is serious about online business.

    Email marketing works for me. You can find emails depending on your niches and what affiliate program you are running.. Try Clickbank

    I am a newbie with only part time 4 months experience and I understand your question.
    1. Email Marketing
    I think it works,provided that you build a list of tens of thousand subscribers.
    BuT the point is how capable you are to accumulate!
    Below is quote from my another post which I made just 2 days ago.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    I got to know many Internet marketers build a list of tens of thousand and try to sell products LATER TO THE SUBSCRIBERS. They say "Money is on the list"

    Normally it is squeeze page (only one page) with Form to capture your name and email address,offering Free products.
    The ONLY PURPOSE of this page is GET NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS.

    For instance if you see my signature below,Free eBook is stated.
    I am aiming that someone clicks/visits the site and provides NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS in exchange of FREE EBOOK.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    2 Non Email marketing
    It takes a long time to build a list so I am at the same time doing non email marketing.
    In other words,not aiming to capture names and email address in excahne of free stuffs,but rather aiming ro sell NOW.

    So I am doing the both.
    But I feel Email marketing will be the most powerful if you get tens of thousand suscribers.

    yes, I use e-mail marketing and I send 500 mails daily and i get one or two response for my stone business so I believe in mail marketing. you don't have to do more but search email ids targeting your business, for me I have 40,000 and daily search new but send mail again each month to old mail because they have no need last month, may be, this time he need your products so contact continue is success.

    It depends .. It can work ... So try every option you can do .... In 90's E-mail marketing was one of the the best E-marketing services. Now we have other successful techniques .. SMO is the best nowadays.

    It can work for some niches and can not for some others. However most search engine optimizers don't have email marketing as their services as its not as much effective as you think.

    I feel email marketing works if your niche is effectively targeted.

    EM has received competition from different forms of internet marketing over the past decade. As the comp has increased it's even more important to focus on your specialized niche.

    You have to build up your own email marketing list. That way, you know they are opted in to receive promotions and messages from you. You can do this a variety of ways, both offline and online. Try adding a 'join our mailing list' icon to your website. Gather emails through your current or existing client-base. Offer a free promotion for filling in contact information (including email address) through a landing page. Again, you want to make sure it is an approved list of email recipients...no spam. There are a variety of email marketing softwares out there...just do a google search.

    Email marketing certainly works. If done with precision, email marketing is effective in driving genuine traffic to your website or blog. Targeting is important in email marketing.
