Not All Email Marketing Programs Are Created Equal

NOT ALL EMAIL MARKETING PROGRAMS ARE CREATED EQUAL

Contrary to what you may think, email marketing remains an effective and COST effective method of staying in touch with people who want to hear from you. Remember, we’re not talking about blasting out millions of emails to people who don’t know you from Adam. That’s considered SPAMMING. Effective email marketing is at the crux of RELATIONSHIP and PERMISSION marketing and is still effective when you email to people who volunteer to learn about what your business has to offer.

According to alternative marketing guru and Squidoo founder, Seth Godin, “By talking only to volunteers, Permission Marketing guarantees that consumers pay more attention to the marketing message,” he writes. “It serves both customers and marketers in a symbiotic exchange.”

This means that email marketing will INCREASE in effectiveness as a way to counter the growing ineffectiveness of more traditional methods of “intrusion” marketing.

But selecting the RIGHT email marketing tools is critical to both your success and your sanity. These are the email marketing companies and tools we recommend and those we don’t and why.

Exploring Forex Trading Online

As with many other genres of investing, the ability to trade online has revolutionized foreign exchange trading. Forex trading online has not only opened the door to more information, but it has increased the speed with which a forex trader can access the information. In addition, the practice of day trading forex has also become very popular. Without the ability to trade online with up to the minute trading quotes, day trading would not be possible.

Forex trading online is possible because traders have access to more information about currencies than they have ever had. With just a few clicks of the mouse, a forex trader not only has access to current prices, but full histories, trends, and expert commentary on how the market is behaving. Learning to compile and use all of this information makes it much easier to develop a sound forex trading strategy.
