Email Marketers Forum Launched
March 22, 2007 – 8:17 am
Are you a successful Email Marketer? If so Email Marketers Forum may be just that place where you can share your expertise in the field. Are you new to Email Marketing? Email Marketers Forum is a good place to learn from the pros in the field.
After joining AWeber just over a week ago, I am very impressed with all the features that service is offering. You can literally created your lists along with the sign up forms in minutes. Building a list is another story. I have placed sign up forms on few of the websites expecting to get at least sign up a day. In worse case one sign up every other day. Forms are up for about a week and guess what, no sign-ups so far.
I guess in affiliate marketing, when you do not have your own product to sell, building e-mail list is more challenging than I thought it would be. I watched few tutorials available at AWeber, and from what I can say I followed the advice on how to create a successful sign up campaign. But for some reason I am not getting them. What am I doing wrong? If you have an answer to my question other members of Email Marketers Forum can benefit from your answer as well.

I am with you. I think the forum is a great idea where we can share our ideas. Have you checked it out?

In order to keep them signed up, you have to build relationship equity with them by providing them with "value-added" services and topics which do NOT sell at every opportunity.
I have started to build a decent list from my agency "sign ups" with the goal of keeping my name in front of them so that when they think about insurance, they think about me.

Sorry it took so long to respond, but I had to step out of the office. I did receive your e-mail and you should be receiving a response shortly. :)

Sorry about the math plugin. I hate to go back to Akismet. Good thing you can copy the massage, otherwise that could have been the last time you ever commented on my blog.
I knew you were reffering to a british spelling that was the reason I send you to a comment about laguages in BumpZee community. I thought it was funny.
Also I sent you an e-mail via the link you left above. I hope I gave the correct e-mail "vjsolutions at optonline dot net"

Yes indeed, there is more than one "Mark" commenting around these parts now so i'm trying to sign with 45n5 these days. No problem.

By the way, if you think I was pointing out the way you spelled honour, I wasn't. I'm just a freak who prefers the British spelling, but understand that both are correct. :D
45n5, I'm going out on a limb here and assuming that you're Mark, correct?
Anyhoo, you're welcome. I sincerely hope that marketers start realizing the benefits of permission marketing over coercion marketing.
Now, I should probably pop over to your forum, sign up, and post this, but I've actually created mailing list etiquette for myself. It's a list of rules/creeds that I will follow when sending *any* e-mail to any of my list members.

P.S. Vlad, last I checked 0 + 6 = 6, however, according to your plugin I didn't pass the math. ROFL

I agree with your opinions on some of the current email marketing methods.
In fact I was rather jaded with email marketing and never considered it because of many of those reasons.
I realized there were "non shady" ways to manage a list after joining aweber and that go me interested in getting into the space.
There will be some hucksters pushing the latest cons as long as it works and then they will move onto the next thing eventually.
My main turn on is the "permission marketing" angle with email marketing. Instead of paying a nickel to get one sale, I can now pay a nickel for the permission to market somebody over and over, because they WANT me to. I want my emails to be valuable of course.
For instance woot.com. Tons of people give their permission to woot.com to market to them via rss and email every day and people LOVE it. Boy would it be nice to be woot ;-)
"I hope that your forum takes off. It's definitely a great idea and it may be the place where that change starts to happen."
Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for stopping by. I am honored. I am still trying to decide about wordpresdatafeedimport. I've heard so much good stuff about the software. Unfortunately I can't afford it at this time. Any discounts for some one like me? ;)

People are realizing that they can sign up to the list, get the bonus, then unsubscribe. If your readers believe you have information of value and that you're upstanding, I do believe they'd subscribe of their own volition (i.e. no bonuses for signing up or whatnot).
Before long, the marketers are going to realize that there needs to be a shift in their marketing tactics when it comes to e-mail (I hope) and things will start leaning more towards quality over affiliate product launches.
45n5, I hope that your forum takes off. It's definitely a great idea and it may be the place where that change starts to happen.

Not yet.

You right about that but it would not hurt us with attracting the pros. Any feedback from Shawn or other BumpZees yet?

Even the forum doesn't attract the pros I think we'll become the pros by our own trial an error ;-)

I think your forum can become very good if you can attract some pros in the field. I am looking forward to be very active on the forum but as it is now all I have questions questions questions.
But hey I believe there is a saying that every wise man started from asking many questions right?

It should be lots of fun and hopefully makes lots of people money ;-)
