Anyone have any good references on solid email platforms??

I don't promote crazy ****.... Just the typical CB and IM Niche stuff...

Aweber and Icontact are a pain in the rear... SO if anyone can point me in a solid direction for reliable direct email platforms that would be sweet!

Thanks,
R

    Gmail email send limit - no more than 500 recipients per message for the Gmail web interface, or max 100 recipients if you are using an email client software.
    Hotmail email send limit - no more than 100 recipients per day.
    Yahoo Mail email send limit - no more than 100 emails or recipients per hour
    The rate limit for popular hosting providers such as rackspace allows 2000 emails per day. If you need to send more than 2000 emails per day, you need to use some third party solution for your bulk email marketing.

    Aweber is the best for emailing, they allow IM stuff. You can also try GetResponse. MailChimp doesn't allow IM stuff for emailing, you will be banned for sure. Cheaper solution is to build your own emailer using Inspire Email software, this is the best software, only 1 time and no monthly costs.

    I use GetResponse and have no problems with them. I like their platform, it's pretty solid. Easy to setup and deploy.

    You should checkout Sendgrid, Sailthru or Amazon SES. These are large volume services which require some basic tech skills to set up.

    Don't use Mail Chimp for affiliate marketing - it's against their TOS.

      I wouldn't recommend that. It's difficult to run your own mail server properly and monitor bounce backs, spam reports, blacklists, IP blocks, etc.

      If you can, go with SendGrid or Amazon SES. You'll need some programming skills to get started but once you do, you'll have lots of flexibility and be only paying ten cents per thousand emails you send out.

          I actually prefer SendGrid for a few reasons. First it's hard to get good customer support from Amazon unless you pay for it. You can use their free forums but it takes a while to get support. SendGrid has free email, chat and phone support.

          Amazon also has no automated way to retrieve bounce backs and spam reports. They just get sent to an email address that you specify. You can't remove email addresses that have been blacklisted without contacting Amazon (such as if a subscriber accidentally hit the "spam" button.) SendGrid automatically parses these messages for you and can be retrieved via their API. You have easy access to blacklisted addresses and can clear them manually or via the API.

          Finally the SendGrid API is way easier to implement and actually performed faster than Amazon during my testing.

    You're welcome! It's really worth checking out. We used SES at first too and then switched over to SendGrid for the reasons mentioned above. Great email deliverability will change your life!

    I have never used an Emailing Platform until now but I know that MailChimp is very popular, user-frindly and useful for building and managing e-mail campaigns.
