How to Use Email Marketing to Successfully Build Your Business (and not get in trouble for spamming)
If you want to build your business, email marketing is one of the most effective ways to do it.

Email marketing is cheap, first of all. It's also fast. You can blast to a huge email marketing list using just a free email account like hotmail. It's simple to find a free email address: you can just do a free email account search, and you'll come across gmail, yahoo, or any number of free email sites.

But if you do decide to send an email blast via your free email account, there's a good chance you'll be flagged as a spammer, and all of your emails will be blocked. Getting unblocked is very, very time-consuming and can be almost impossible.

That's because Congress passed a law called CAN-SPAM, which made it illegal to send email blasts if you're sending them to people who didn't ask for them. It's also illegal to send emails without providing a way to unsubscribe. That's why building your email marketing list is key. You need to find people who will opt-in to your list and join because they want to hear what you have to say.

So you must have a marketing list, but more importantly you must have a receptive and interested list. Fortunately, there are email marketing services that can help you with email list management and your opt-ins and opt-outs-and keep you out of trouble for spamming.

Although these email marketing services do cost some money, they will more than pay for themselves because they will make sure your emails get through to your list and generate sales for your business. They also can show you html email software that can help spice up your emails and track response.

So how do you get people to opt-in and receive your emails? A good email marketing service will be able to help you set up a webpage, drive traffic, and prompt opt-ins. You can capture email addresses with this page, but you can also capture telephone numbers and names, all of which are great additions to your list.

From there, the marketing service can help you create an email marketing newsletter or some other valuable content to send to your list. When the members of your email marketing list see that they're getting valuable content from you, they'll be ready to open more of your emails and they definitely won't opt out.

So, in summary, don't send emails without permission, and don't ever send emails without giving your list a way to unsubscribe. Sending emails from a free email account, randomly, may get flagged as a spammer, which can result in blocking and fines.

Remember to look for an email marketing service that can help you manage all your email lists, so that you can focus on other things. The return on your investment will definitely be worth it.

Good luck out there!
