Marketing With Email Resources
Why Every Small Business Should Build an Email List
Email Marketing Resource Guide - Bookmark this page and refer back often as I will be adding to it!
Follow-up Autoresponder Systems
AWeber Systems In my opinion the best follow-up system. AWeber works very hard at keeping all of the major ISPs happy and therefore experiences the highest mail delivery rate in the industry. They also seem to be very aggressive about adding new features and functions. *This one gets my highest praise - It's simple, powerful and just works!
1ShoppingCart - 1ShoppingCart, as the name implies, is also a full shopping cart system for ecommerce transactions and real time credit card processing, but part of the service is a mailing list service.
Finding a Reputable Permission-Based Email Marketing Vendor
Before choosing an email marketing software provider, do your homework. Ask the provider to give you their sending IP addresses so that you can check the number of blacklists they are on. These IP addresses can be entered at website such as http://www.dnsstuff.com to see how many blacklists they are on.

Use to make check if your email has spam filter triggers.
Here's how it works... Fire up a new email and
STEP 1: Copy-and-paste your subject, but start your subject with the word "TEST" (without the quotes, in UPPER CASE) so that we know this is a test e-mail. (If the subject does NOT start with TEST, we'll assume it's REAL spam and delete it). Here's a sample subject... TESTFlower-Lovers Ezine #007: Peonies for the Yukon
STEP 2: Copy-and-paste the rest of your e-zine and simply send it, exactly the way you would send it to your recipient, to... spamcheck-jantsch@sitesell.net
