It’s been some time since I’ve had a look at the servers and providers in the large email list sending space. I’ve had several clients contact me to help them with their own large lists, so I decided it was time to have another look at where things stand right now. Many clients still confirm to me: “This is much harder than we though it would be!”. It seems that...
Here I am testing out the Ultimate Marketer’s Toolkit by Mark Dulisse. This looks to be a real winner. Tons of graphics that are bundled in one plugin that let you drop in shortcode (simple codes) to create graphic images, testimonials and just about anything you would want as a marketer – this is brilliant. Here’s a demo below… Social Share: Blue checkboxes Custom sign image: Phrases: Banner Header: Guarantee...
This is a sample snapshot of Google taken using a plugin for Windows Live Writer. The advantages here are tremendous. Add, edit and update blog posts offline and publish them at a later date. If you’re really motivated link your blog draft posts to a Windows Mesh account and they will be available to you from any attached device – slick!
I’m finally getting around to testing Windows Live Writer on a real blog. Let’s see how well it does and go from there. I also want to try adding images. Three I am at home working on the blog… You can see from this picture that I have a lot of fun working on my websites, and those of my clients. I like to work near a window at all...
I just re-discovered MadMimi.com. I remember checking them out a year or two ago, but now it seems they have added a few more features and their pricing is still reasonable, at least compared to all of the other autoresponders! You can also import a huge list without having to wait for every single person to ‘confirm’, and that alone makes this service worth it’s weight in gold. A lower...
I’ve had several blogs running for years now, I love posting new things as I find them using my blog. But let’s face it – you really want to be building an email list at the same time, so you can contact people with similar interests as you. And, if you want to be successful in marketing to those who have visited your blog in the past, then building an...
I was in a for quite a surprise when I went to recommend low-priced Aweber white label autoresponder hosting recently. Let me explain… Just last month, from what I remember you could still buy pretty low priced hosting for your email list with the so-called Aweber White Label services (these are ISP services that outsource their work to Aweber and basically they setup and use the Aweber customer service/hosting, but...
Are you trying to run your own large email list server (50,000 or more subscribers)? Are you having trouble with deliverability, or just getting your email to get sent out? In this post I’m going to spend some time covering the advantages, and the pitfalls to such an adventure, and give you some alternatives, and ideas that you can use to help you successfully setup and run your own mail...
I was reminded last week how important deliverability is to an autresponder service. Thinking I could maybe save some money I signed up for a $69.00 – lifetime autoresponder: RapidResponseBot. Not a bad deal, when you think about it. But after setting up an account, getting little help from the owner on my technical questions, and then finding that my Confirmation Email ended up in the ‘Spam’ folder at Yahoo,...
Have you ever clicked on one of those Slide Up ads (sometimes called slide in ads) that appear at the bottom of your browser? Have you wondered about the script used to do that, and if it’s worth adding to your own site? Well, I have often thought about this, and recently undertook a huge study of the 5 main competitors in the Slide In (or Up) ad script market. ...
