    Yeah Email Marketing is good because it helps you 'reuse' traffic. Meaning, the same customers can buy again and again. You can identify your buying customers and hit them up with offers you're interested in for almost instant money. Not to mention that people possessing good mailing lists get a hell lot of JV requests. It's quite powerful because you have a 'traffic laser gun' that you can shoot anywhere you want, anytime you want. But on the other hand getting and maintaining a targeted email list is quite tiring as well as problems with deliverability issues, spam complaints...etc. I would not recommend you starting off with email marketing but in the long run when you start building your own sites, it's a must in my opinion. Just signup with a reputable provider like aweber.com and you're good to go.

    If you have a legitimate, double opt-in, list with clean addys and interested customers, yes it's a good strategy. Spamming is a VERY bad one.

    Depends on who you are, what you know, how you treat your customers etc. If you don't know the basics, don't waste your time. Email marketing is an art in of itself.

    It depends on what are you selling or are you trying to do CPA. Its good as long as it doesn't turn into spam.

    If you generated your own leads and you know what you are doing, then I'm sure you can make a lot of money. You would be wasting your money buying leads from someone else.

    Email marketing is a very good strategy but can be very frustrating if you don`t have discipline and a well made daily schedule of what are you gonna do every day to create a big opt in list

    Email marketing is great providing you have a list to email to. Be careful not to spam to grow your list.

    Email Marketing is by far one of the best ways to advertise... More so, if your advertising to your "Own List". Your own list is filled with people interested in what you have to say and what you have to offer. But, the most important thing about the people in your list, is that they have built some type of trust with you. They wouldn't have signed up with you if they thought you sucked or had crap to offer, right. So, with that being said, build your list, (easier said than done) then start to market to them, only after you have built a "nice" relationship with them..

    One other note, buying other peoples so-called email list might be good to a certain extent; Just make sure you ask a lot of questions before buying or marketing to such list.

    email marketing is oldest internet market technique.. it is older that banner, older than search, older than keyword, older than article .. older than blog.. you got the idea.. and it will never go away.. real company marketing effort is always about list.. target to a list of prospective customers..

    you need to have an email market strategy from day one.. from build squeeze page.. get permission.. send newsletter...upsell...
