Earn Through Email Marketing

There are many ways you can earn online. The easiest way is be a content publisher and let entities like Google AdSense and Kontera ContentLink, etc., do the rest of the hard work. Their job is to put RELEVANT advertisements to display on your sites. Your part to keep the content informative, useful, interesting, up to date and very important, get traffic to your site. No traffic = no earning.

There are various ways to generate traffic to your site. You may get some tips at build traffic to your site.

Others drive traffic to their sites using advertising campaigns, and a very cost effective one is Google AdWord. With Google AdWord, you can choose CPC (cost per click) ads in which you can specify keywords relevant to your site content, bid for how much you are prepared to pay for clicks to get traffic to your site, pay nothing if no one click, specify geo-targeting (only display for surfers from specified regions), There are other options and you can get more information from Google AdWord.

However, if you can be successful in network marketing, affiliate marketing, e-Commerce, that may bring in money faster that being just a content publisher and depending on advertising income.

For such thing as affiliate or network marketing and such, one of the most valuable thing you can have is a mailing list. He gave me an excel file containing a list of email address, and when I expressed reservation on how he got his mailing list, he assured he has confidence in his source. However, I am going to refer him to iContact Email Marketing which is ideal for those earning that way. I am very wary of using mailing lists. I have a very long list of contacts in my Gmail account obtained mainly from bloggers asking question or requesting help, but hesitate to use such contacts for marketing purposes. One can get reported for sending spam and get into trouble. Using opt-in list, or even better, double op-in list, is much safer and should be the way to go. This PDF file - Email Marketing Best Practices by iContact contains lots of very useful information including importance of opt-in lists and I am going to email him to read that PDF file as it not only have good information and tips on mailing lists, but lots of other good stuff and tips as well.

I am going to encourage to sign up for a iContact 15 days free trial and would encourage you to do the same thing. For there are lots of other features offered by iContact such as autoresponder, however, to see what that have to offer, you have to sign up for a free trial and log in. There are lots more stuff like email newsletter software. newsletter software, etc. You just have to check for yourself.
