"Harness the power of email marketing with these simple tips that will keep your emails out of the junk folder... and get your recipients to open them!

By Derek Gehl

Email marketing has experienced a lot of growing pains over the past few years. In the beginning, it was seen as the perfect marketing tool -- cheap, fast, and measurable.Click-through rates were the only numbers that mattered, and people were still excited to receive -- and open -- just about every email in their inbox.

Then, it seemed like the explosion of spam, and the sheer volume of email people receive ruined the effectiveness of email as a marketing tool. Even perfectly legitimate emails were being trapped by spam filters or deleted, unopened, by wary recipients who were concerned about viruses.

Yet there are still companies that, despite these challenges, manage to generate millions of dollars of profit every year using email marketing software.

In fact, at IMC, direct email marketing generated $3.5 million in revenue last year alone! And the opportunities keep growing.

According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, email remains the number one online activity of Americans -- ahead of Web surfing and using search engines -- and now that more and more people are able to receive email on their cell phones and PDAs, the opportunities for creative email marketing are only continuing to expand.

At the recent Marketing Sherpa Email Marketing Summit in Chicago, Barry Stamos of Responsys.com even stated that people now spend more time reading email than watching TV!

All of these developments, combined with the fact that email can be tested and measured for specific results -- unlike other promotional methods -- means email marketing remains one of the most valuable tools in any marketer's arsenal.

Despite the obstacles presented by spam and volume, email marketing can still deliver an exceptional return on investment (ROI) because of the massive amount of time people spend on line, and the proportion of that time they spend checking their email.I

In fact, eMarketer reports that email generates a much higher return on spending than methods such as direct mail and newspaper and radio advertising.

So if anyone tries to tell you that email marketing is dead, don't believe them!

The truth is that spam and volume didn't kill email marketing the way many so-called experts predicted. But they did manage to create a few hoops you now have to jump through to get your emails delivered and opened.

These days, you need to educate yourself on the best ways to collect, manage, and store email addresses, and only send out relevant emails that people will open without hesitation. Do these things right and you'll be able to profit from all of the new opportunities available to email marketers... and continue to enjoy the impressive ROI email marketing provides.

Carefully manage your opt-in list to fully capitalizeon the income-boosting potential of email marketing

Okay, so you've written an opt-in offer for your web siteand started to collect the names and email addresses of visitors who want to hear from you on a regular basis. Theseare people who have decided they like what they see on your web site enough to give you their email addresses. They arebasically inviting you to sell to them!

Now you need to decide how you will store, manage, and use this information. Many people simply store their opt-in lists in aspread sheet or text file, but there is also great email marketing software out there to help you manage this information more easily.

The method you choose to look after this information will depend on your own unique situation, but if you are going to get serious about email marketing, then you'll need to get serious about managing your opt-in list -- not just building it, but also cleaning and maintaining it to ensure that you always generate the best results and never look like a spammer.

Here are a few things you need to know to effectively manageyour opt-ins... and guarantee the highest possible response to any mailout you send:

a. Manage your "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests

One of the most important things you can do to minimize your headaches -- and maximize your profits -- is to stay on top of your "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests. If you don't have an automated system for managing subscriptions to your opt-inlist, this is especially important.

Always treat requests to unsubscribe from your list seriously. People who aren't promptly removed from your list after making an unsubscribe request can accuse you of spamming them, and you can quickly find yourself in trouble with your ISP.

Of course, it's just as important that people who ask to beadded to your list are subscribed right away, since you never know which one of those subscription requests is going to endup being your best customer.

If your subscribe and unsubscribe requests aren't handled automatically, you should take care of them right before you send out a mailing. This ensures that your list is as currentas possible, and it also means that you don't have to deal with this chore on a daily basis.

b. Remove duplicate addresses

Before you send any mailings, you'll want to make sure that you don't have any duplicate email addresses in your list.There will always be some people -- more than you might think-- who will opt in to your list, leave your site, and comeback a couple of days later to sign up again, forgetting that they've already joined.

Now, people are happy to get one copy of your email, but start sending them multiple copies and just watch how fast they unsubscribe from your list -- or worse yet, report you as aspammer!

This kind of spam complaint is relatively easy to clear up, but it is still a hassle, and instead of having a potential cusomer who was so exited about what you had to offer that they signed up twice, you now have nothing.

c. Clean your list

Keeping your list clean means more than just removing unsubscribes and duplicate addresses. Cleaning your list means sifting through the messages that "bounce back" to you after a mailing, and deciding which ones should be removed from your list completely, and which ones you might want to try mailing again

"Bounced" messages are those messages that, for whatever reason, were not successfully delivered to the intended recipient. Most bounced messages can be categorized as either "soft" bounces or "hard" bounces.

- Soft bounces: These are messages that could not be delivered at the time they were sent, but may be deliverable at some time in the future. These types of bounces are usually caused by the recipient's inbox being full.

- Hard bounces: These are messages that can never be delivered. Hard bounces are usually caused by the user typing in an incorrect email address when opting in to your list, or the subscriber no longer using the email address they originally opted in with. Hard bounces should be deleted immediately. If you leave these addresses in your list, you'll just have to wade through unnecessary bounce messages every time you send a mailing, and that's a waste of your valuable time.

Plus, if you continue to send email to an address that is invalid, you can get into real trouble. This is one of the methods used to identify spammers, and if you are found to be repeatedly sending messages to a "dead" email address, you could have a problem with the ISP receiving the messages.

Emails that are returned as soft bounces, on the other hand, should be dealt with in an entirely different way. Since softbounces are the result of a temporary problem -- a fullmailbox, for instance -- you'll want to re-send your promotionsto all the soft bounce addresses a couple of days after you sent out the initial mailing.

You'll be surprised how many messages get delivered on the second try. And since you've already written the email, there's almost no extra work on your part.

d. Divide your list to conquer more subscribers

Given the mountains of email people receive these days, most only want to see what's relevant. And, unfair as it may seem,anything irrelevant could be considered spam... and reportedas such.

If the people on your list know that the message you're sending is something they want, they'll open it! Using email to target different segments of your audience is one of the single most effective ways to market products or services on the Internet. In fact, email marketers practicing segmentation are currently seeing much better results than those sending undifferentiated mailings.

A 2006 report by Marketing Sherpa found that email marketers using segmentation saw click-through rates that are 72% higher than email marketers who are not segmenting their opt-in lists.

The simplest way you can market to different segments of your opt-in list is by targeting them based on whether they are (a) existing customers, or (b) visitors to your site who have simply opted in to receive your free newsletter, eBook, etc.

The message you send to your existing customers, for instance, might focus on selling them an upgrade to a product they already own. Because you've already earned their trust through a previous sale, this promotion should do quite well.

Of course, you'll need to approach your subscribers -- those people who haven't made a purchase from you yet -- with a slightly different angle. You might try offering them a 25% discount off their firstt purchase, for example.

There's no end of ways to segment your audience depending onthe information you've collected -- and email automation makes it not only possible, but simple!

By targeting different segments of your audience with apromotion specific to their current situation, you can just about guarantee that the results of your email marketing efforts will be dramatically improved.

e. Snag your recipients' attention by using their names.

If there's a "secret" to getting email recipients' attention, it's this: Personalize the subject line. There is no other single technique that will boost the response rate of your emails as much as personalization.

Have you ever noticed that a great salesperson will find out your name and then use it every so often while they talk toyou? It's a way of establishing trust and building rapport. Using someone's name makes them feel as though they have a relationship with you. And the truth of the matter is that nothing gets a person's attention faster than hearing or seeing their own name!

By personalizing your subject lines, you also make your emailappear more authentic and safer to open, because recipients will be more likely to view your email as coming from a trusted source.

Unfortunately, typing each individual recipient's name into the subject line of every email you send is just not practical! Once you grow your list to more than 50 or 100 people, it becomes unmanageable! It's way too time consuming...

The good news is that there is great email marketing software available these days that will help you completely personalize your campaigns automatically, and save you tons of time andeffort.

Choosing the right email marketing software will makeyour life easier!

Luckily, there are some pretty powerful products out there designed to help email marketers develop, manage, segment, and personalize their lists easily, from one user-friendly interface. Choosing the right email marketing software can save you literally hundreds of hours of frustration, and help you to avoid being accused of spamming.

If the software you choose doesn't have the following features, you could be missing out on the full potential of email marketing, and leaving "money on the table." To be effective, your email marketing software must allow you to...

- Manage your subscribes and unsubscribes. Top notch email marketing software will automatically add people who fill out your opt-in form to your list, and automatically remove the names of people who have submitted "unsubscribe" requests.

- Segment your opt-in list for custom mail outs by collecting information on your opt-ins' preferences, buying habits, location, etc.

- Personalize your subject lines automatically to grab your recipients' attention, and make your emails seem more authentic and safer to open.

- Protect yourself from bogus spam complaints. Every time someone subscribes to your list, the date and time should be recorded so if they accuse you of spamming, you can prove to your ISP that they have opted in!

- Filter undeliverable email automatically. The right email marketing software should automatically determine whether your undeliverable message is a hard or a soft bounce. If it's a hard bounce, the email address should be flagged as "bad" automatically.

- Protect yourself from "domain bombing" by automatically removing duplicate addresses from your list -- so you never risk mailing the same subscriber twice and being accused of spamming.

- Avoid having your messages blocked by ISPs and service providers by accidentally hitting their servers too hard, too fast, with too many messages.

... And that just scratches the surface. If the email marketing software you choose doesn't have these capabilities, you will not be able to fully capitalize on the awesome, profit-boosting potential of email marketing. And, your email promotions will be more likely to be considered spam, which can cause big headaches.

Final thoughts

Email marketing remains a highly effective tool for anybusiness. And the success of your campaigns rests largely on the percentage of your messages that get delivered and opened.

At IMC, we've been using email marketing for 10 years now.We've got it down to a science -- and we've even created ourown email marketing software that incorporates all the keyfeatures we've learned are necessary to run a successful emailcampaign

Globalwon global lottery game and opportunity announce March 1 New Commission plan upgrades.

Globalwon, a new global lotto-style game and opportunity, where you also have the chance to win on your downline winnings, announced through Globalwon the Company March 1 their new commission plan upgrades, which means the following:

No more 28 days rule. Achieve Smart Player qualification of 3,100 Euros over any length of time and get promoted instantly.
No more Plan 1 – Only Super Plan! Just one easy plan to understand and explain, which applies to everyone.
No more 100 Euro per month qualification. New qualification starts Game 8. Until then FREE qualification for commissions and share of prizes.

Globalwon announced a simplified new qualification from game 8, 22/03, which means that in place of the 100 Euros per month qualification, you now only need to have tickets in each game to qualify for commissions and share of prizes,

“We're on track for a fantastic 2006 and things have just got better with our new Commission Plan Upgrades”, states Globalwon’s leadership team, which points to that there is no more 28 days rule and only one simple ”Super Plan”.

The Globalwon Opportunity means that for the first time a lotto-style numbers games and the proven high-income potential of network marketing have been fused together for the ultimate deal.

For years network marketing companies have been trying to crack the code for the perfect formula. It's not just about the right product, the right commission plan, the right management team, and the right leadership. It's about us providing you with the ultimate deal, means the leadership team at Globalwon the Company.

Gary Chamberlain, one of Europe's most successful network marketing professionals over the past 20 years, and his experienced team, have thought long and hard about what makes a successful network marketing opportunity. Their wish list ended up like this: ”A product that people love, that is easy to understand and sell, and which does not need to be constantly resold. A 'no cost' product distribution model so that higher levels of money can be paid out to referrers. A generous commission plan that puts the referrers first, with low entry costs and ease of duplication. A program that is global from day one, self-sustaining and has unlimited growth potential. A program with dynamic commissions, which effectively means daily pay outs.”

Gary Chamberlain states that the key was to make the product the very thing that people look to network marketing for in the first place. Gary Chamberlain further means that hundreds of millions of people from America to Europe, and across Asia and Africa are playing their national or state lotto every week. It amounts to billions of ticket sales per year, and a recession-proof industry that is worth over $190 billion. Whatever people want to do with their lives, money makes it easier to do. ”Which is why a lotto ticket is one of the very few products the average person enjoys paying for. A lotto ticket is a dream on a slip of paper. It gives hope, because it has genuinely life-changing potential”, says Gary Chamberlain.

Many people become involved in network marketing for exactly the same reason. They want to earn more money, even big money, and change their way of life, means Gary Chamberlain and states further that what Global Won has done is create a powerful new concept that allows our players to satisfy two ambitions at once, and continues: ”Global Won allows you to earn a lot of money, for referring other players, while you win money by playing the Global Won game.”

The no more 100 Euro per month qualification means that you can buy as many tickets that you choose, compared to before when one hundred tickets, which equals a 100 Euros, was the minimum amount or purchase. This means that if you have less than 20 tickets in a game it qualifies you for 4% share of downline referral's prizes and G1 IPU commissions only. If you have 20 or more tickets in a game qualifies you for 4% share of downline referral's prizes and ALL commissions for your position on the plan.

The new commission plan also means even more benefits for the participants and their referrals, according to Globalwon’s leadership. With the Smart Player promotion you start as a Smart Player with a personal purchase of 2,000 tickets (2000 Euro) and get 2 Smart Player positions to allocate to Players in your downline. Smart Player positions can only allocate to Players with a minimum personal purchase of 500 Euros. Positions must be allocated within 60 days of making the 2,000 Euro purchase, means the Globalwon leadership team. Promotion begins midnight CET 28th February 2006 and ends midnight CET 30th April 2006. A participant can use it to upgrade Players and drive more volume, which means more prizes and commissions for everybody in the game.

I made it way up Google! This means it is free for anyone to make it!

As a complete Newbie way up Google.com in one and a half month’s time out of 1 490 000 other search results means anyone can do it!

On a request from someone who had seen my comments on a SEO Forum post about search engine optimization, who sent me an email with the suggestion that I should submit my stuff to a site called "Article Sender", I went ahead and did just that. Submitted my article at Article Sender with a choice of donating* $ 10 to get a better search result (which means they submit to more sites and search engines providing they find your work plausible). In an article here, you cannot put live hyperlinks though, so you just have to write them without the http://, even if you can write the dot com part.

Anyway, one or two weeks later, I looked at Google for my article, and there it was, # 1 on the words ’Newbie matters’, out of one million four houndred ninety thousand other search results on those words. It is a bit too many just to be coincidental!

One of the deeper tricks seems to be just that: To not put any live hyperlinks in the article it self + to write a nice normal piece without too much of the sales jargon. Then you post it at Article Sender, and they submit it to a trillion different sites.

After that, it ends up in a number of online Ezines; magazines etc., which are indexed at Google for example, in which also your original URL address is mentioned, like mine, which in this case was my blog address.

Then when they click on that address, they enter my blog, where they not only find the article on Newbie matters, now with live Urls, but all my other live Url addresses as well. I.e. affiliate urls; daisy chain urls, referral program urls, friend’s forum’s urls and the urls of all other sites and blogs which contain loads of other links to other sites with more links to other sites, etcetera, now all live!

That is also a trick for high rankings - an overfed background site with all of the above in it + more, to feed the search engine spiders so that they can push your site forward to the top. They love it! This last part about the spiders and their food is quite fascinating, considering people in the business here talk about it like it's really a live sort of being inside the search engines itself!

I learned about the spiders and their food from the Veretekk training sessions, by special trainer Thomas Prendergast, CEO at Inetekk Veretekk Inc. at his Guerilla Marketing trainings there. It is a truly fascinating know-how and higly recommenable.

This is just one example on how to increase your visitor rates and get a good ranking at Google. I will try it again and show you the results and get back later with more reports on the matter. Bye for now!
Ike N.
