Email Marketing - Collecting Emails (How?)

I was wondering if anyone know a free software like wordpress where I can download and using it to COLLECT EMAILS.

Someone comes to my website, put in an email address and the system stores it in a mysql database. I don't care about the system sending the emails, I just want to COLLECT Emails.


Feedbacks appreciated.

Thanks,

Use can use Google to find the firms selling emails related to your niche.

 

You may search on google for any such tool but they may be paid one.. If any one can tell how to collect emails database then it will be very nice..

 

I've got to tell you upfront that the only way you should be collecting email addresses is through double opt-in with a reputable autoresponder company. With the spam laws as strict as they are, buying lists or even collecting them on your blog without double opt-in is a dangerous business. All it takes is for a few people to complain about receiving an email from you and you can be in big trouble. That's why it's good to go with double opt-in, because you now have proof that they gave you permission to contact them.

 

There are many tools that let you collect emails such as aweber or feedburner

 

I agree with CJMO - you should use an autoresponder, and make sure your potential email recipients opt in. Or, you'll open yourself up to spam complaints.

I have a video on using autoresponders successfully. If you or anyone would like to see the video, PM me and I will send it.

 

nah, best to get double opt-in native lists

 

I know there is a free wordpress plugin that will create a form for your wordpress page but I am not sure of the mechanics of where it stores the email addresses (not a techie sorry). If you search for "form" on the plugins page you should find it. I prefer to use Aweber simply because they do have the double opt in method and the spam laws are getting so tight worldwide, so it pays to use a reputable company. They are still doing a $1 special for the first month so they might be worth checking out - you can always cancel your account before the month is up if it is not working for you.
