    No doubt there has been a change in email marketing for many reasons, devices used like smart phones have definitely affected email marketing and people online are more savvy these days but I do not see the death of selling by email. No way.

    Yes we have had to adapt because of the reasons mentioned above as well as there being so much more competition, but if you up your game and stand out from the crowd you will sell.

    I very much doubt you will here any successful internet marketer saying they are quitting building there lists and quitting email marketing.

    People will always work on laptops and Desktop PC's so yes there may have been a dip because of people reading their emails on smartphones but every marketer I know still see's their email list as a very valuable asset.

    All the best

    Hey Tkhassan,

    Yes there has been big changes to email marketing and of course open rates aren't at 90% anymore, but I know you can definitely build a long lasting relationship with your customers.

    If you understand how to connect through email, it is hands down still one of the top ways to make money online.

    People have to manually delete your email they can't just scroll past it. That's probably one of the best advantages email has among other platforms like social media.

    Social media is great, but only when you have an email list

    My opinion, email will always be the core of making money online or just having an online business in general

    Just my view on it..

    Have a great day

    Adam

    Mailing is my business...I monetize data and have been doing it for 15 years and have no plans to stop!

    You can make 6-7 figures with the right strategies. Granted that's a huge range. It in large comes down to how much you scale and being able to effectively manage the infrastructure that comes from scaling.

    But do I see it going anywhere anytime soon?

    No.

    Social media may have tried to take a grab
    at email marketing, but at the end of they
    even social networks ask for an email address.

    Yes, I still do email marketing.

    It works.

    It has declined maybe because of the use of social media but it is still a very effective way of communicating and doing marketing. So I think it's still important do do e-mail marketing if it fits your target group and your product/service.

    I am sure that the popularity of email marketing in recent times cannot be on a decline because it is not only a professional way of reaching out to your target audience especially when you have opt-in lists but also it has a more serious advertising approach compared to other forms like SMS,TV and in the long run it is bound to be an essential tool for any marketeer.

    Building an Email list still makes sense, because you can gather emails of your target subscriber group, and then you can re target them any time using Social Media using CUSTOM AUDIENCE

    This is something most email marketers are ignoring. Approaching your audience via email only is not viable any more, you have to approach them from all channels, specially social media

    E-mail marketing is probably the most effective way to monetize a blog for long run success and nearly every successful blog has a very strong email marketing focus. Concerning your question - yes, I’m obviously doing it.

    I regard Email marketing only as a good additional method to remind of yourself to your clients and to inform them about your news.

    Yes, of course. But email it works only if you know how to make it right. You should make it personal, in a right time, with targeted and brief messages and awesome design.

    Email marketing will be still alive, no matter what year is.
    all is about timing, and well stylized ad which selling.
    Im using email marketing 1time per week and it definitely worth. It brings me still new a new customers and opt-ins.
    Email marketing is also about bilding relationships between you and customer, if you are trying only to GAIN PROFITS it will not works, be sure.

    People are now well resistent towards spam craps and poor ads, we marketer MUST be well creative to succeed.
    wish you all the best!

    Of course. Yes the popularity of the e-mail has declined and will probably continue to decline but e-mail marketing is nowhere near finished. Trust me on that one.
