I would like to get start with Email marketing without Spam, but I cant find any e-book that is related. Could anyone can recommend me some FREE e-book? Also, How can I get started? How to collect the email lists?
Besides, Im looking for some networks that can fully support newbie like me. It is great for me to get paid weekly. Thank you very much

    It's very simple: set up a optin page where you put a offer for something free in exchange of the visitor's email address. The email gets registered in an autoresponder system.
    Then you need to send traffic to that optin page with all the means known to man.
    And finally you write email message to that list.

    This is how you start doing email marketing without spam.

    Of course all the above things have to be either learned or you have someone do them for you.

    However, from what you say it's not clear if you know how to make money from a list (it seems not, frankly). So you definitely have to learn that too.

      The best way to make email marketing work for you is to setup a squeeze page , capture leads and then consistently send out your newsletter. Dont start making offers from day one. Start building relationships by providing some valuable content for your subscribers to read. Once you have built enough credibility, you should start sending email offers promoting products through clickbank or some other network.

      As a newbie, I can understand it will be difficult for your to put together everything. For thing you should consider outsourcing your work to a person or company who understands email marketing really well. Alternatively, you may want to work with a managed email marketing solution like GoldbarTech.

      Hope this helps

        thank you bobby and your suggestion is very helpful as I'm going to start making offers from day one.|o| I would like to run free/paid trials and I think it will run great.

        What valuable content should I send? Could you mind give me some example as I'm not sure what it is.

        Also, I would like to get start with Aweber which many ppl have recommended. Are there any difference between GoldbarTech and Aweber? Which one is better?

        Thank again and hv a good day

        Best,

      Thank you Marco and I'm not sure some point that you mention.

      what is something free in exchange of the visitor's email address? I know there are some PPC, PPV companies that can buy traffic from them, but I didn't hear something free in exchange of email lists. Could you mind tell me more about this?

      Also, are there any traffic sources you recommend? I'm not sure which types of traffic sources run great in email submit.

      Thanks again Marco, you are very helpful.

      Best,

      Ben

      Bolding in the above comment is mine.

      If you require an email address in order for the visitor to get the offer, it's not free. You are asking him or her to pay you with their email address being the currency in which you are trading.

      A better way to say this might be "Put up an offer for something of value to your visitor in exchange for the visitor's email address." This way, it is an equal exchange: value for value.

    Valuable content is the kind that helps a problem but does not solve the problem ... the product you are promoting should solve it.

    Helpful but incomplete.

    Tell people 'What they need to do to lose weight' without telling them the 'How ...'

    If you want to sell email marketing products then telll them - to get a squeeze page up, to drive traffic, to test and use an email follow-up ... but without sharing the exact step by step sequence or coaching - that's what your product does and why they should buy it.
