    It is only worth it if you are a big company and popular,because if you are a small company and you send emails to random people then you don’t have any guaranty that they will read the emails.Personaly if any unknown company would send me an email I would delete it with thinking twice cuz I would thought that it would be a virus.About the way to take the emails of other peoples facebook is a way to do it the emails are at the informations of any facebook user.

    the list of people you can email should all be your customers/subscribers. They must be opt-in if you wish to email them, otherwise you're risking to have your mail server IP marked as a spam source.

    i think we need a software which can extract a good number of email addresses from website. then use email blasting software for promoting your business via email marketing.

    in 2 words: "squeeze page"!

    that's the basic way to start - set up squeeze page in your website (search squeeze page in google images and you will see tons of cool examples)
    To get even higher results combine your squeeze page with some attractive offer - added value for the subscriber. something like - subscribe to our newsletters and enter our iPhone lottery or something creative.

    Make the emails more personal. I know this is impossible, but if you design it in a fun way and engage the reader, people are more likely to want to read it. If it reads like most spam eg: MAKE FREE MONEY, CLICK HERE. then people will simply delete it and avoid your website entirely (as well as earn itself bad rep!)

    It will depend on you if you will consider email marketing AS ONE OF YOUR Internet Marketing strategies. A lot of people do succeed in creating and driving leads to their website through email marketing, but a lot of people also fail. If you really are into using such strategy in your campaign, you should start by knowing what are the fundamentals and basic rules of email marketing. This will help you learn how to start well with your email marketing strategy and that how will it not mess up with your websites' credibility.

    email marketing will help you a great deal but if done incorrectly then you could be classed as spam and that would dent people's view on your reliability.

    I dont think so email marketing is good technique, now adays people receive too much spam and once you email the people they would mark your email as spam and very few would read your email.

    So more hard work less results.

    Create related blogs and add opt-in form on site. You can always email some large niche-related bloggers and bargain your way for 100k+ email list. Don't spend your profit on toys

    Email marketing is good but only if it is targeted. You can have 1mil emails but if they are mostly kids from India you will not make good profit :). Think about Facebook marketing as Facebook is a killer for traffic. Check my signature for more details

    [h=3]Disadvantages of Email Marketing[/h]
    1. Undelivered Email: It may be difficult to get email through a spam filter as many companies use e-mail marketing to communicate with existing customers, but many other companies send unsolicited bulk e-mail.
    2. Email Overload: Even when an email gets through to the consumer, there is so much email that needs to be looked at sometimes it is difficult for the individual to distinguish between solicited and unsolicited email, as well as have time to read through the email.
    3. Renderability:. Difficulty of displaying the creative as intended within the in-box of different email reading systems.
    4. Email response decay: Email recipients are most responsive when they first subscribe to an email. It is difficult to keep them engaged. Soon, the opted in for newsletter may be seen as an irritant.
    5. Communications preferences: Recipients will have different preferences for email offers, content and frequency which affect engagement and response. These have to be managed through communications preferences.
    6. Resources: Additional people and technology resources are required to deliver a sofisticated email newsletter that engages the consumer.

    Convert some of your articles into a PDF format and offer it to your visitors as a signup bonus. Your visitors will give their email addresses if they see that it is profitable for them. Thereafter, send a promotional email in every 2 days. You will be good on your way.

    Right on with facebook, it will definately increase traffic. You can also pick identifiable people who are most likely to website based on how they continually post.

    Email is great especially if you are bigger or have a way to get the emails, such as as registration. Unsolicited emails wont get you much of a result. By far the best way is Facebook, and Twitter. Start off with just your friends and then just update both. Add in links to your site. Make it relevant and funny and people with re-post/re-tweet and you will see better business.
