Email Marketing can be a great asset to your business. Using your Ezine, you can market to your existing customers or individuals who have expressed interest in your niche. Email Marketing is a great tool to use as your pool of people to try mailing targeted emails to. Your Ezine should not be viewed as Spam

Spam Alert

When we think of spam, we all think of the awful emails we get from another country telling us that we just one the lottery there. We don't think we have ever been to that country let alone have played the lottery. Spam can also come as a way to get your personal information. I received one the other day saying that my account with a prominent bank was suspended due to suspicious activity. It then said if I click here, it would take me to the site where I could verify my information. The bank's name was spelled a little different on the supposed website and I didn't even have an account at that bank.

Spam is something that we receive but we really do not want. You never want your Ezine to be seen as some sort of spam. Your Ezine should have a wealth of information for your readers in your niche. It should not be a cover all project that has everything in it but the kitchen sink. When your readers signed up for the Ezine, they put their trust in you that you would only send the Ezine. That is what they truly want. Now unless they have only signed up for one Ezine in their entire life, they know that they may receive some 'targeted emails' from you. As long is it is very similar, you should be ok. The Spam Alert comes in where any affiliate marketing or joint venture that you sign up for you send to all of your mailing lists regardless of their preferences.

Target Market

Use your Ezine wisely. Your Ezine should look appealing and have a great deal of information in it about the chosen subject. It should be timely and it should have the right information. Magazine and Book Publishers have fact checkers. If you are not real good at research, you should as well. There is nothing worse than sending your Ezine out with bad information. You could lose subscribers or even worse keep subscribers that select 'delete' each time your Ezine comes out. Learn to marketing strategically.
