The attachment was from my mailing list program. It was informing my dear subscriber that since her mail kept bouncing, andquot;I`m not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.andquot;

1. The Problem

Why was my newsletter bouncing? My mailing list program reports receiving this message: andquot;...The information presently available to AOL indicates this server is transmitting unsolicited e-mail to AOL. Based on AOL`s Unsolicited Bulk E- at http://www.aol.com/info/bulkemail.html AOL cannot accept further e- from this server. Please have your ISP/ASP or server admin call AOL at 1-888-212-5537, or visit http://postmaster.info.aol.com for more information.andquot;

Basically, I was being accused of sending unsolicited commercial e-mail. This was a double opt-in subscriber. I don`t do spam!

America Online, Inc. (AOL) had blocked my subscriber from receiving the e-zine she requested. About fifteen percent of my subscribers use an AOL e-mail address. Not only am I adversely affected, but my are not getting their e-mails. In contacting AOL sales and technical support, I found myself against a brick wall. Although, I was repeatedly offered a free trial to their service, they were unable to help me regain my subscriber.

andquot;Why don`t you contact your subscriber and have them whitelist your e-mail address?andquot; How? All I have is her AOL e-mail address and everything I send to her fails. Believe me, I`ve tried. (You could use another e-mail address, I suppose, to trick AOL, but why should you have to?)

Of course, they absolutely refused to remove the block against me. (If you would like to learn more about AOL, try the search terms andquot;AOLandquot; and andquot;AOL sucksandquot; in a major search engine.)

By the way, it isn`t just AOL that is doing this. Some other major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are doing the same thing. As well, some popular e-mail software programs also filter out wanted e-mails.

2. Some Solutions

If your subscribers are not receiving your newsletter, here are some things you can do to alleviate the problem.

1. Warn your subscribers. On your newsletter signup page, explain why they might not receive your e-zine. Explain about e-mail filters; ask them to whitelist your domain, not only to bypass the ISP spam filters but also to allow mail through any e-mail software they may have.

2. Try to avoid using words that trigger spam filters. Personally, I don`t like this one; it smacks of violating my right to free speech, freedom of the press, et cetera. (Yes, I know. With rights come responsibilities. However, I am acting responsibly!) As a practical matter, though, it`s something you have to consider. (I had my newsletter checked by a popular spam checker and it passed with flying colours.)

3. Send a text e-mail informing your subscribers that the current issue of your newsletter is available online at your website. (It could also be a good move to have an archive of past issues there, too, to boost your content and search engine rankings).

4. Consider using alternative ways of communicating. For example, you might try Really Simple Syndication (RSS).

Oh, by the way, my replies (with read receipt requested) to my dear subscriber`s e-mail address appear to never have made it. To her I say: andquot;If you`re out there somewhere, please re-subscribe. You might want to think about using a different e-mail address, though.andquot; J.

Before the laws were in place, there were many publications that were just advertising machines and much of the sales copy was of poor standard.

Now publishers and businesses are realizing the true value of their subscribers and treating them like the VIP's they are. This means that email marketing is of better quality and more effective. Visitors can subscribe to newsletters with confidence that they will not be bombarded with advertisements as soon as they sign up. You will get more website and a better open rate for your newsletters.

The only problem now is the vast amount of that sometimes eat up your important mail to your subscribers. It is important to alert your subscribers in your or confirmation email, and give them instructions on how to white list your mail. It is also vital to your to have a good -responder, which is user friendly. Use good subject lines that will encourage readers to open your mail and will not be caught by the spam filters.

List building: using good methods of list building is the key to your success with email marketing. It is critical that you gather highly targeted subscribers to your opt-in lists. Use methods that will help you pinpoint your special so that you can ensure the best possible open rate and response from your list.

3 Methods of email marketing:

1. Newsletter: Your free newsletter is your most powerful form of email marketing. It will achieve a few things. One, it enables you to build a large responsive opt-in list. Secondly, it will allow you to develop a strong business relationship with your subscribers. Thirdly, it will allow you to build other important and profitable business opt-in lists.

2. Mailers: mailers are a very profitable and easy way to automate your income. You set up an auto-responder sequence on your auto-responder. The intervals between mailings will be up to you, depending on what, to whom, and who you are promoting. You can use this for a new product, backend selling, or pre-selling information. The mailer can be directed at leads that ask for more information or old customers.

3. Announcement lists: You can make multiple lists for different purposes. One of the most fun and profitable is an announcement list. Some of your subscribers will be actively searching for new products and this list is a tailor made for them. This list will alert subscribers about any new product you are promoting, and of course, to sweeten the pie- a special discount just for them.

Email marketing is still a great way to market. You just need to take advantage of the new technology that helps you to get your mail past the spam filters. One word of warning, never send email to those who are not on your opt-in-list. This is labeled spam and can get you into a whole lot of trouble. Plus, it will ruin your reputation as a business person. Zach Thompson is a Glyconutrients Representative. His clients range from actresses to pro athletes.

E-mail Marketing has flourished and benefited many businesses. Its main benefit is the relationship it builds and keeps with clients. now has a partner that increases its bond, Real Simple Syndication otherwise known as RSS. Discussed below are advantages of both E-mail Marketing and RSS.

E-mail Marketing

Simply put E-mail Marketing is a digital way for businesses to communicate with clients and employees. This form of marketing educates those subscribed about: new company information, special offers, upcoming events, and any other information.

For example a restaurant could include daily, weekly or monthly coupons or discount tickets that have value. No one will want to use a coupon for a 'free pop' or '$1.00 off,' but they would want to use 'free meal at next visit,' or '$2.00 off any specialty item.'

E-mail marketing can introduce new employees, advertise a weekend or holiday event, and even send birthday vouchers. If a business is expanding, moving or changing its design E-mail Marketing can easily express its new endeavors inexpensively.

As you can see E-mail Marketing can be utilized for many different marketing needs. it allows for businesses to keep in touch and build a relationship with its readers. Consumers like to be for the money they spend on ones products and services. E-mail marketing does this successfully while offering rewards.



Remember...E-mail Marketing is not SPAM, it is wanted information by those subscribed, so fill them with quality useful information.

Real Simple Syndication (RSS)

RSS benefits are similar to E-mail Marketing, but instead of sending every subscriber the same e-mail your subscribers are able to pick and choose the themed feeds they desire, allowing customers to have total control of the content they receive. Like e-mail marketing subscribers will receive this information through e-mail. Some of the feeds include: blogs, articles, forums, schedules, discounts/specials, and company news.

RSS is in XML format, which is simpler than HTML. XML is supported by a wide variety of applications thus making it easy for anyone to create and share their data.

This direct marketing tool builds and keeps customers just like e-mail marketing. E-mail Marketing and Real Simple Syndication are great ways to stay in touch with customers. They are both uniquely different and target different types of needs and wants. Let Kinetica Media guide you through the process and open your new world of communication.

Here are a few tips to help you create successful e-mail :

Tip 1: Use personalization features

Most s allow you to create messages that have a certain element of personalization including in it such as including the first name of the subscriber. Starting a title with the first name of a subscriber is a proven way to increase open rates for your messages.

Tip 2: Ensure a low spam factor in every message

It is critical that you do not trigger the spam filters in most e-mail services. A good autoresponder service will allow you to check each message to make sure that it has little to no spam content or words that will trigger the spam filters. Avoid the word 'free' as much as possible as it tends to trigger spam filters too much.

Tip 3: Offer something of value in each message

Depending on the products you are selling you should always offer something of value in every e-mail like an exclusive product discount offer or free information of some sort like an e-course or something similar.

Tip 4: Track the links in your e-mail messages

Most good autoresponders will enable you to easily track any links you place in your e-mail. This is valuable as it will allow you to see which messages are performing well so you can learn from them and do more of what is working.

Tip 5: Space the messages in your autoresponder appropriately

Do not send messages every day to your subscribers otherwise they might get annoyed and unsubscribe from your list. Have a gap of at least one to three days between messages for maximum response rates.

Tip 6: Focus on building a quality list of subscribers

It is important to get people that are interested in buying to sign up to your newsletter instead of just information seekers. Maybe you could offer an in depth product review of a particular product in your e-mail messages, this way only people that are potentially interested in buying the product will sign up. A smaller list of buyers will make you much more money that a huge list of untargeted subscribers.

Tip 7: Broadcast messages regularly

If you have new information or a new product you want your list to know about then be sure to use the broadcast feature to send your message to all your subscribers right away. Sometimes it is timing that matter most and the broadcast feature will let you get the marketing messages out instantly.

There's really no hard and fast answer to this question, but I can tell you that most people are so afraid of contacting their subscribers too often and annoying them that their and don't contact their people often enough.

You need to remember that if you're not constantly reminding people that you're still there, that someone else will, and that person will likely forget about you.

For example, if you're not contacting your subscribers at least once a month, you're just not contacting your customers often enough. A lot of people think that contacting subscribers everyday is way too often, but there are certainly areas where it works. I am on a list right now where every weekday I'm sent a short little , and I read it everyday. However, these aren't marketing and , but rather little motivational blurbs =96 they're short and take me less than a minute to read.

A good that works for a lot of people is to contact your subscribers once every 2-5 days. That's often enough that they'll remember who you are but not so often that they're going to think they're being bombarded with messages. Feel free to play around with this number and see what works best for you and your subscribers.



Also remember that not every contact that you make with your customers needs to be an advertisement for something. While sending free content to your subscribers or past customers may seem like a bad financial move, it can be a way to build up good will with your past customers or current subscribers, and when it comes time to buy, they're going to remember you, and will be far more likely to do business with you.

Didn't you notice that a small mailing list can give you a high response and a huge list can get a very, very low response rate? That is because it's not the number of emails on your list but the quality of the list that does really matter.

Although sending out magazines and newsletters to millions of addresses through is free, you cannot afford to risk your fair name by offending people. Your email address lists should only contain those that signify they want to receive email from you. Otherwise, your unsolicited advertising will be classified as . Plus, the cleaner your list is, more profits you will get.

Here are some tips how to maintain your mailing list clean and up-to-date:

1. Verify your targeted email list for bad and undeliverable before you send to it. You can use email validation software to do a list check. You can just search the Internet for an email address verifier tool to choose the one that suits your needs best.

2. Exclude bad email addresses from your list.

3. Manage bounces thoroughly. Not all bounced emails should be deleted from your list. Delete hard bounces. Hard bounce is when recipient rejects your email. Soft bounce is when your email accepted by recipient's mail server but bounced back because of reasons like is full, your message is large than receiving mail server upper limit etc. Try to send the messages a few times to soft bounced email addresses before you delete them. There is chance that the message will be delivered after several attempts.

4. Use double opt-in subscription method. This way you can make sure that the email address is valid and that the subscriber really wants to receive mail from you.

5. Delete unsubscribers. Always provide an easy way to unsubscribe. Before sending an email campaign, do a search for people who unsubscribed and delete them from your database.

6. Provide an option for subscribers to change their email address. Some list management software or services provide a link to your subscriber details and lists he opted for. From there your subscribers can change their email addresses and update their profiles.

7. Don't buy email lists. Most email addresses on those lists are collected by website email extractors and belong to people who didn't hear about you and don't expect any mail from you.

8. Avoid spelling errors. If you manually import your subscribers from your old list manager to the new one or from your helpdesk to your mailing list manager etc, be careful to type the email addresses in the right way.

9. Try to avoid free email accounts. It's a little hard to do though because nowadays people often use a free email account like hotmail.com, yahoo.com although they have their own domains. This is because they don't want to reveal themselves or they might be afraid that the owner of the list might send junk or spam to them.

However, just like everything else, preplanning and the right setup to create success are the things you will need to make it work for you and your e-business.

The first thing you want to be sure you don't do is get over-zealous. The one thing you need to avoid at all costs is .

Spamming is still used widely, but with the government establishing more restrictions and fines you don't want this to be a problem for you. The professional image of your site will also suffer if you send mail .

Spamming requires a database that contains a huge list of e-mail addresses set up so that the message can be delivered with one click.

The problem with it (aside from the governmental restrictions and associated fines) is that it irritates the recipients and kills the validity of your campaign, which in turn kills the factors that would motivate someone to refer your site.

You need to personalize by creating your website with personal appeal. You must see to it that your website makes your customers feel safe, secure and cared for.

E-mail is important, because it is going to be one of the most affordable ways to keep in touch with your customers.

The proper way to handle permission is to first let your customer know that you will not transmit their e-mail addresses to third party companies.

The next thing to do is to attach the need for their e-mail addresses to benefits they can receive.

For example: Coupons or discounts that are only available to members who receive e-. With each e-mail you send the viral marketing effect takes place.

Using autoresponder you can capture more clients and lead potential customers to make a purchase.

Unfortunately, email is often used to send out promotional materials without the consent of the recipient. Worse, some people have taken advantage of this communication tool to create, more serious damage. For instance, by pretending as a reliable person or company who ask for the personal data of the recipients. Others even include viruses, spyware or other malicious programs in the emails.

Nowadays, protection of from these spam emails is a growing concern for many people. They start installing a spam blocker on their PCs. Moreover, most email services today have already provided for their users. The bad news is such software may also block your . After spending a great deal of time to create a series of e-course, it would be a shame to find out that the majority of the messages are automatically deleted or end up in spam folders.

To avoid your messages from being filtered by spam filtering software, there are several ways you can do. First, give your subscribers an instruction to white list you. This way, your autoresponder messages will never be considered as spam messages by their . The instruction can be showed on the thank-you page, a page to say thanks to new subscribers for joining a mailing list. Modern today allow users to redirect new subscribers to a special page. Just take advantage of the feature provided.

Another important thing to do to ensure that your autoresponder messages can get through any spam filters is to use spam checkers. Reliable autoresponder services usually have already provided this tool that will inform you if there are any forbidden words in your message. In other words the tool will check your message for words or phrases that commonly trigger spam filters and allow you to rewrite the words or phrases.

Not distributing a downloadable product as an attachment is also a good practice. It is wise to just include the link where subscribers can download the digital stuff. Some popular email clients have a feature to block email attachments automatically. Although the feature can be turned off by user, there is a possibility that some of your subscribers do not aware about it.

It is also important to choose a reliable and trusted autoresponder service. This will ensure that the IP address where you emails come from is not blacklisted by major ISPs. If not, your messages probably will not get into your subscribers' mail boxes, no matter how much you check it with spam checkers. In addition, using such reliable services will prevent you from getting into legal problems by providing the proof of double opt-in requests. Besides ensuring the deliverability of your email messages, staying out of potential spam complaints is another important thing to do.

So just how would you capture those leads and make them profitable for you? Here are your 5 simple steps to setting up your own profitable lead capture system.

1) you will need your autoresponder setup, ready to accept your subscribers. To make it easy on yourself you can pre-load it with messages to send your subscribers from the outset, to remind them that they are on your list. Useful, informative and sent once or twice a week automatically will keep your list subscribers interested.

2) Setup an irresistible offer page, giving something of value to your potential subscribers for filling in the form to subscribe. This page needs to be as powerful as any sales page where you are charging for a product, as you will want it to convert as many visitors to subscribers as you can. Outline the benefits of what you're giving away, and even the benefits of the information in your (you did setup those messages right?).

3) Most allow you to set a url (website address) to send your subscribers to after they subscribe, you should send them to a thank you page, and let them know if they need to confirm their address before they receive the first from you. If they do need to confirm (they should, this is called -in and may help save you from spam complaints), let your new subscriber know they will only get the email with the gift link after they confirm their subscription to your list.

4) Your first email to your new subscriber should contain the download link for the you offered for subscribing. The ideal situation here is to send them to a web page to download. This page can also contain a special offer, sometimes called a one time offer (or OTO). Make this an unmissable deal related to the subject matter of your emails. Let the subscriber know they will only see this offer right now, if you do not have a special deal to offer, you can instead add a link to a product you sell as an affiliate, but make use of this valuable backend sale opportunity.

5) Keep sending traffic to your offer page and keep those subscribers coming. Join JV giveaway promotions which are happening all the time to put your gift in front of more and more people. Make sure you keep your subscribers by sending them regular informative emails, and it helps to give them more free gifts on a regular basis.

Words of advice, your list can be your own personal goldmine, but don't treat your subscribers as your personal ATM. Your list subscribers are people just like you, treat them as you'd like to be treated.

Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender. To the recipient, spam is easily recognizable. If you hired someone to read your mail and discard the spam, they would have little trouble doing it. How much do we have to do, short of AI, to automate this process? I think we will be able to solve the problem with fairly simple algorithms. In fact, I've found that you can filter present-day spam acceptably well using nothing more than a Bayesian combination of the spam probabilities of individual words. Using a slightly tweaked (as described below) Bayesian filter, we now miss less than 5 per 1000 spams, with 0 false positives.

One particularly nasty variant of is sending spam to mailing lists (public or private forums.) Because many mailing lists limit activity to their subscribers, spammers will use automated tools to subscribe to as many mailing lists as possible, so that they can grab the lists of addresses, or use the mailing list as a direct for their attacks.

Even better, AOL now offers free, web based e-mail services. Many people prefer web based e-mails because they can take them along whenever they change their internet providers. The mail offers plenty of services along with web mail so it makes sense that it is one of the leading web s.

Of course, because web mail is so popular and because there are people who like to change e-mail addresses often and create addresses specifically for newsletter subscriptions, junk mail, etc, there are a lot of AOL e- that get hijacked by spammers and people who like to send "anonymous" e-mails to others. The good news is this: if you have been getting unwanted e-mail from an AOL web mail address, it is possible to do a reverse e-mail search and find out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail and make them stop.

Your first line of defense when it comes to unwanted e-mail is the reverse e-mail search provided by the web mail provider. If the e-mail is coming from an AOL web mail address, use the reverse e-mail search option provided by America Online itself. Using the web mail provider's reverse e-mail search tool should always be your first stop because it will be the easiest method in finding out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail and/or spam. This is because it is easier for AOL to check its own records than it is for an outside source to try to check those records for you.

Of course, if the reverse e-mail search provided by AOL isn't successful, there are other options that are available to you. There are many different reverse e-mail search services available on the internet and you should try as many as you can to get the results that you need. If none of the internet based reverse e-mail searches work out, and the unwanted e-mail has become a real problem, you might want to consider hiring a professional search service to find out who, exactly has been sending you the e-mail. In some cases a professional search service is the best way to go because there are many people, spammers especially, will take many steps to make sure that their identities and contact information remain hidden.

Remember that you need to be taking steps to protect your own AOL e-mail account as well. Make sure that your password isn't obvious and that it is hard to crack. Change it often so that you can reduce the risk of having your AOL web mail account being hijacked by spammers or people who would send unwanted e-mail to other people.

Your tenacity will also play a big role in whether or not you see success with your reverse e-mail search.

Everyone knows the benefits of using a web based e-mail service. Most of these services are free of charge (or very inexpensive) and are far more convenient than the e-mail addresses that will be supplied to you by your internet provider. This is because, in this day and age, people appreciate the ability to check their e-mail from any internet service and on any computer. Web based e-mail offers people that option.

Of course web based e-mail isn't without its faults. Because people create more e-mail addresses than they actually use, there are a lot of "dead" e- out there that get taken over by spammers and hijackers. Others will create an e-mail account with GMX or one of the other web mail services with the intent of sending "anonymous" e-mail to someone else.

If you have been receiving unwanted e-mail from a GMX e-mail address there are several steps you can take:

1. Find out if GMX provides a reverse e-mail search service and then use it to find out who has opened the from which your unwanted e-mail has been sent. This should always be your first step because GMX will have an easier time searching its own records than an outside search engine will have in getting access to the records' information.

2. Do a search with any of the major search engines to find web-based reverse e-mail searches. There are a large number of companies out there that offer this service. It might take a few (or many) tries to get the information you want but if you keep trying you will increase the odds of finding out who has been sending you the unwanted e-mail that has been polluting your inbox. Don't give up--the longer you search, the better your chances become of finding out what you want to know.

3. If the unwanted e-mail has been especially malicious, you might want to consider hiring a professional to contact GMX and find out who is on the other end of the e-mail address that has been harassing you. A professional will know how to get GMX to turn over the information that you need. You should also consider contacting GMX's support team yourself to report the malicious e-mail. GMX might be able to suspend the account or help you take legal action against the e-mail sender.

When it comes to doing reverse e-mail searches, whether you need to find the owner of a GMX e-mail account or a different web based e-mail address the key is to keep at it.

There are many businesses that now use email exclusively, and do not use snail mail for marketing purposes.

But I believe that these businesses are missing out on a piece of their pie. Actually, they are leaving a piece of their pie for other marketers (ones who use direct mail) to pick up.

DMIS, or the , reports some important statistics, showing that direct mail is indeed a method, even in this digital age. For example, DMIS reports that 67% of direct mail is opened by the recipient, and 45% is both opened and read. Also, 32% of consumers surveyed reported that they had responded to a direct mailing in the past twelve months.

Direct mail is still an effective marketing piece that every business should use, even . Direct mailing has several advantages over email, such as increased delivery rates, higher readership percentages, and the fact that a physical direct will make a bigger impact than an email.

If you run an internet business, you may not want to use direct mail as an piece. Initial contact is probably the strongest point of internet marketing. But follow-up is one of the strong points of direct mail. Use direct mail to follow up with your customers, to let them know about promotions, or to follow up with prospects who have not made a purchase yet.

For all businesses, direct mail allows you to contact precise markets with geographical and demographical targeting. For example, if you sold commercial bakery equipment, you could send your promotional mailing to a list of bakeries.

Direct mail is still an extremely viable marketing method that you don't want to miss out on.

But direct mail is still a powerful marketing method -- one that you can use with great results in your business.

Contrary to what some businesses owners believe, direct mail still gets opened and read. According to the , 67% of direct mail is opened, and 45% is both opened and read. Email cannot begin to match those rates.

The Direct Mail Information Service also offers some other important . Their research shows that the ROI (return on investment) of direct mail is excellent -- to generate $14 in sales, one must only spend $1 on direct mail.

Other statistics show that direct mail is even more effective for businesses. Managers open 70% of direct mail they receive. The pass 9% of it on to a subordinate or coworker, but respond to or file an amazing 20%!

There are two basic ways to use direct mail -- build your own list, or use someone else's list. Building your own list will likely get you the lists, but is also more expensive and takes longer. Renting a list is often the best way to start.

If you decide to build your own direct , you should come up with a well planned strategy for acquiring contacts for your list, as well as managing your list. Here area few ideas for building your mailing list: add all of your customers, offer a free newsletter, offer drawings for free products, do reverse phone number searches on prospects to find their address.

If you plan to rent a list, you can often rent a list from a company that specializes in direct mail marketing. They may be able to help you with your direct mailing campaign so that you maximum efficacy from your investment.
