Happy New Year 2017 SMS
There seems
to be a growing sentiment on
the Internet that email
marketing is in big trouble.
Only this morning I read one
report that claims that
"95% of email marketing
messages" won't be
deliverable in the near
future. Every day we read
new, and increasingly
intense, articles about how
Habeas will put us all out of
business.
Yet in the face of what is
undeniably a troubling
situation, I know people who
have only started marketing
via email (primarily using
ezines) in the last few
months and are prospering.
Given these two seemingly
opposite pieces of evidence,
I wonder if it's time to
revisit the basic tenets of
successful email marketing?
In that light, I offer these
five ways to succeed with
email marketing in any
environment.
One. Understand that it takes
work. If there really is an
automated way to spend a few
hours a week working at an
online business and make big
bucks I respectfully ask to
see the proof. Feel free to
email me with the details,
but only if you are
personally making over
$200,000 a year. ;)
The Internet provides a
wonderful opportunity to
anyone willing to work, learn
and apply the skills they
gain. It's also the fastest
way short of Las Vegas to go
broke if you are looking for
a quick buck. Like any
business, look at your online
business as a long-term
venture and you will do well.
Which brings us to point #2.
Two. Commit to quality. Want
to know the absolute, #1,
surefire way to beat the spam
filters at their own game?
Produce information that is
so valuable that readers will
take action in order to
receive it and notice when
they don't receive it.

It's all too easy to blame
filters for non-delivery when
in fact readers don't take
what we say seriously because
we don't stand out from the
crowd. We, as email
marketers, have an obligation
to produce content of such
high quality that readers
clamor for it. Doing this is
actually quite easy if what
you have to say is relevant
to your reader's life and
comes from your heart. Commit
to quality and the
marketplace will reward you.
Three. Be personal. I've
spoken to so many people over
the years that said "I'm
not a writer so I can't
produce an ezine (or write an
article, or a sales letter,
etc.)" But once I see
what they have written I'm
shocked by their insight,
desire to succeed and skill.
Some of the best ezines I've
ever read wouldn't hold up to
an examination by a fourth
grade English teacher ... but
they changed my life by
teaching me something. Do
that, change their life and
teach them something, and
your email marketing will be
well received.
Four. Be flexible. I can't
recall a time on the Net
where being flexible was more
important than now. If spam
filters are killing us we
must learn to adapt. We must
be informed. We must adapt.
We must overcome. If our
email does not get through we
must find a way to get the
message to readers another
way. If readers want HTML we
give it to them. If they want
weekly editions vs.
bi-weekly, we meet that need.
You will never go wrong
meeting the needs of your
readers. Which leads to point
five.
Best New Year Wishes
Five. Know your readers.
Readers are individuals, just
like you and me. Great email
marketing is a lot less about
using pithy wording and
making an emotional appeal
that it is about knowing and
meeting the needs of your
subscribers.
The good news is that
subscribers love to interact.
They love to tell you about
their needs dreams and
desires. The more you listen
the more you can meet those
needs and make the profits
you seek.
Is it too late to begin email
marketing successfully?
No way.
Use the five suggestions
above as a platform and begin
to build your email marketing
business today. Just like the
story of Chicken Little,
there will always be those
who claim the sky is falling.
Don't let them dissuade you
from acting.
Commit to quality, be
yourself and provide a
product or service of value.
Combine those things with a
little "sweat of the
brow" and you simply
