    Exactly. Subject lines and email text is just like writing headlines
    and sales copy on your sales pages. This site is offering a free
    course on writing email promotions:

    Thanks WILLB, you saved me from having to write the same
    thing (though obviously not as well!)

    One more thing I'd like to point out is that in certain industries
    you can't use e-mail advertising of any type any more.
    Mortgages, medicines, porn, etc. You know what I mean.

    Every spam blocker in the transmission chain is sensitized
    to certain industries.

    I used to sale alot of clickbank products using that form of online advertising, it does not work as well as use to but it is worth giving it a shot.

    In my test runs with e-mail advertising, I haven't found any service that really promotes returning users, and so you are probably wasting your money.

    You might consider looking at only opt in lists although many consider the emails spam and delete them

    well said, opt in lists is must for long term success in internet marketing. If you don't have it you are just another ordinary marketer

    Personally I delete emails from any sender/ company I am not familiar with.

    May be you can try a sample such that you don't spend a large amount of money.

    Email ads are very seldom clicked. However, a very smart way to capitalize on the power of opt-in emails is to write an authoritative article for placement in a newsletter

    I disagree. I often see the CTR (%) of email ads that are more than the CTR (%) of adsense ads on my sites. But just like the CTR of adsense depends on how targeted your traffic is, the CTR of email ads depends on how targeted your list is.

    But I totally agree with you on this one. Newsletter editors are always looking for well written content, and some would be willing to give you a link instead of paying you for your article.
