I'm using Aweber, and so far I'm really happy with it. I just could use some inspiration and maybe some guidelines for writing my emails.

I'm awfully new to this forum, so i'm not sure how it all works yet, but I'm more than willing to trade favors (editing or even writing copy/reviews) for whatever help you can give me.
thanks in advance!

Well I just keep my emails sweet and to the point..people get bored so fast they wont even finish reading your emails if its too long...so if your giving something away or selling them something..just tell them right away and give them the link. In your thank you message to them when they sign up, just be honest and say thanks for subscribing and keep an out for future emails regarding free products or information reagarding the subject your interested in. Its worked for me pretty well. Try not to over think it too much. ;-)

i'm definitely guilty of overthinking, in every aspect of my life...
thanks, trevor, you're one of the few that has bothered to respond to my pleas for help on this subject.

Alot of great information I was doing this all along but just have not used any of the safe emails yet, glad to know I am on the right track. God Bless
