Using email to promote and market your business

I took a poll last week called "What information do you need to start and grow your own business." In response to that poll, I`ve written a report on marketing and promoting your website with email. You can check that out at the link below.
Email Marketing: How to do it, when to do it, and why you`ve got to use it.
Keep a look out for further posts. I`ll be creating some videos, more articles, and even doing some interviews with other entrepreneurs.
If you`re interested you can view the poll results and do some voting yourself!JohnDeVries2007-5-21 21:2:11

I think that`s what you meant by...
"companies that offer opt-ins of 2.5 million people you can email to"
Let me know if I didn`t answer you correctly.
However, you don`t necessarily have to limit yourself to your own list. Setting up JV deals with similarily niched businesses and their lists can also work very well.

an opt-out mechanism;a valid subject line and header (routing) information;the legitimate physical address of the mailer; anda label if the content is adult.
The content is exempt if it consists of:
religious messages;content that broadly complies with the marketing mechanisms specified in the law; ornational security messages." source = Wikipedia CAN SPAM actCraigL, I agree. Direct mail works excellently for promotion. So do a lot of other tactics.I intended to post some content on this forum that would be useful for people. I have never endorsed spam.
As I look back at this post I can totally see where things went bad.
When I casually mentioned the whole "JV" deal idea, it sounded like I
was endorsing something I was not.
When I said, "... you don`t have to limit yourself to your own list..." that was indeed a vague comment. I was not, and do not endorse buying email lists from others or offering yours up for other people to email to.Maybe that will help clear the air a bit. I feel like we`re talking about two different things here.
Thanks for your comment. I too have found a lot of new and interesting products and
resources via this method. The reason I mentioned it in the first place
was because I felt it benefits both subscribers and email list owners.
