There are a lot of people involved in Internet marketing who think that email marketing is dead for a variety of reasons that I will touch on in this article. The truth of the matter is, email marketing can be very effective if done correctly. This article will give you a few tips to make your email marketing campaign a successful one. Hopefully, after reading this, you will have a good solid foundation on which to build your email marketing campaign.

Let's get this first tip out of the way. Don't spam. I know that you've probably been told that by sending out your email to millions of people, even if you get a one tenth of one percent return you can make a lot of money, but the truth is, with the spam filtering that's out there, most of your emails won't get delivered and ultimately you will only end up earning a reputation as a spammer and with it your business will go down in flames. Okay, don't spam. That means, only send information to people who have specifically asked for it.

The next tip involves the actual content of your email ad. Because of all the spam filters that are placed on most commercial email account, you have to be very careful about the words that you use in your email ads. Words like "money" and "guarantee" and "earn" are big no-nos. There are many spam checkers online that you can use that are free. They will give your emails a spam score. Under 2, you're fine. From 2 to 5 you're on the borderline and over 5, your message is probably going to be flagged as spam.

The next tip involves the actual email account that you use to do your marketing with. Lots of people think that this doesn't matter. The truth is, it matters a great deal. If you are using a free email account such as AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, or whatever it is you're using, while your emails may get delivered to other people, there is no guarantee that their return emails to you are going to get through.

What's that you say? Return emails? Um, yeah. You know, the ones that potential customers send to you asking you questions about your product or service? With the free email accounts, oh yeah, and free is another word you can't use in email advertising, where was I? Oh yes, with free email accounts, because of the spam filters that the ISPs put on them to protect you from spam, a lot of your email, especially the emails that you want, won't get delivered. This could mean the difference between making and losing a sale. So get yourself a professional email account so you know you're going to get your emails delivered.

The above few tips are just the tip of the iceberg, pardon the pun, but they should be enough to get you on the right road to a successful email marketing campaign.

To YOUR Success,
