How effective are email harvesting softwares when it comes to email marketing?
Are there people who are having success by using email harvesting softwares for email marketing? I want to buy an email spider but they are very expensive. So I want to be sure of their effectiveness before I buy. Also advise me on which email harvesting software is best to buy.
admin answers:
Building an email list with an email spider is not the best solution. Your list we not be “clean” a lot of people will mark your emails as spam. This will cause more problems than results. You need to find intuitive solutions to get peoples email that are interested in the product you have to offer. Give something in exchange for example register for my email marketing tips and tricks newsletter.
Another good way to get users is to create contests and give away something.

Legit email marketing involved having an opt in list for people to sign up for.
Then, mass email is sent (per day, week, month, or whatever) with content. The person signing up may also be able to customize by saying how often they’re open to receiving emails.
Aweber is probably the most common one. They offer a free 1 month trial and I find it quite useful:

Do email marketing services really work?
I have heard good and bad things about email marketing services. They claim to allow users to send spam free messages to thousands of leads. I don’t want to spend the money if no one will ever get the message, or if it really is spam. Does these email marketing services work? Or does anyone have a low cost service they recommend?
admin answers:
This is kind of tricky. The services your talking about MAY indeed only send your email to people on a ‘clean’ list that have said they would accept this type of mail.
….BUT, what good does it do you? These people (recipients) probably have no interest in what you’re selling at all. They have shown no prior interest in your products or services.
The odds of you selling something to these compiled email lists is almost ZERO….and selling them something at a profit is even harder.
In general, the industry refers to these lists as “The Sucker Lists”
because they are attractive to new internet marketers.
Instead start working to build your OWN lists online that will be far more responsive to what you’re selling.

What is the best program for email marketing campaigns?
I am about to launch a new computing goods website for the business and wish to inform customers on file about it.
What is the best program to use to conduct email marketing campaigns?
Have any of you lot got any suggestions, preferably we’d prefer one that has statistics such as read, deleted, un-subscribed, etc.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Thanks

Well, I have spent a gazillion hours looking into this myself. I’ve learned a lot through the trial and error method and the school of hard knocks because I’ve actually used several different ones.
I’ve also gotten opinions from some of the “super affiliate” top marketers on the web who have big lists they email to all the time.
So here goes a brief rundown of what I’ve learned:
1. I contact is the cheapest and most basic. Very few frills.
2. Constant contact is a step above icontact in terms of bells and whistles but if you boil it all down they are not that different (cc costs a bit more).
3. Lyris is a lot more than just an email program. They offer some pretty awesome data and lead-tracking capabilities through their own software. If you want to be able to track the buying behavior of all website visitors, such as those who buy in a store vs. Online vs over the phone, etc. Then this is the one for you.
4. Almost EVERY super affiliate with the big email lists strongly recommend Aweber for the highest open rates in the industry. (And the thus the highest % read and the lowest deleted %, etc.)
They’ve got the greatest autoresponder programs for you, which provides the most important element to making money: Continual followup with different people in the right way.
Full Disclosure: I have no commercial relationship or interest in any of these (or any other) email programs.
Conclusion: If you’re building a big list strictly for web marketing, then Aweber is the best. If you’re using the email list and the website to complement and support a bricks and mortar store, then Lyris is the best. If you just want to send out less than 1,000 emails once a month, perhaps in newsletter format, then Constant Contact will work just fine. And icontact is similar but the budget choice.
If you want to be #1 in Google (and other search engines) in your local market, for what you sell, I can show you how. It’s pretty easy if you know what you’re doing. Http://www.thetaxdoctor.info; http://www.thetaxdoctor.info/custom7.php or email me at ucanbenumberone@gmail.com

Is there a email marketing software that you don’t have to pay monthly subscribtion fee for?
I am looking for an email marketing software which is an alternative to services such as Awaber, MailChimp, iContact, etc., all of which are monthly subscriptions. Is there a software which works for wordpress where you only pay one fee upfront?
admin answers:
No. Things cost what they cost.
