There are the legal ways. Which is OPT-IN email lists from your website or advertising on other maillists. But 'collecting' email ids isnt called email marketing promotion anymore its called 'spam'. Also watch out for people selling email lists, those are usually gathered up or are reused which could lead to nothing, or even worst legal trouble because of spam.
so does this means that e-mail marketing is not an effective way to boost trafic, or spaming does not give you clicks with conversion rate.
yes that's it, you're correct because email is use for personal communication only. most emails from people i dont know just end on trash
Plus spamming will annoy lots of people and get you lots of complaints about your site and service. You can add an opt-in form on your main page and if you have alot of traffic will do well this way. Personally I pull in thousands of subscribers per day accross my sites just using this method, and offering something of quality that they need to sign up for. This can be an ebook or some kind of course. Helps immensly in sign-ups. Brad
Do you actually enjoy getting "news letters"? I for one HATE news letters unless it is actually telling me some pretty major news. Face it, news letters are annoying and usually just another form of spam. Plus, lots of people get "news letters" because they have signed up for some service and in the fine print it said you will get the news letter. Seriously, it's all spam. Just say no.
Most sites have a check box if you want to get information from them. And face it, if you buy a product or service, and you are on their mailing list, IT IS NOT SPAM! Now I for one enjoy opting in to good newsletters and do read them. Wealth of good information if you get good newsletters. But quite a few newsletters are no more than one ad after another, or the publisher is just pushing his latest and greatest. These I dump quick! Remember, if you optin to a mailing list of any kind, or the TOS of a merchant states you will recieve communications from them (or the hated third parties), it is not spam.
I for one enjoy getting news letters, but obviously only on topics that I have subscribed to or am interested in. Also the newsletter needs to be interesting and not just flogging a product. Which so many of them do these days. Brad
It's very rare I come across an actual news letter, 99.9% of "news letters" are nothing but an email full of ad's. Every news letter that comes to my mailbox I report as spam. It's funny, I have never signed up to get a news letter, yet everyone feels the need to send them. When people send you junk that you never really signed up for, I call that "spam". And just because I buy something, doesnt mean I should have to get a bunch of worthless crap in my mail box. Again, this is why I report it as spam.
it's spamming but still it's effective enough to produce targetted traffic, it all rests on how good your mailing list is.
