Are you providing a free email course to your visitors?

A great way to disseminate content online is via an email course. Better still is the WAY you can distribute the
information.

Email courses allow you to split up your information into easily readable chunks. Each email needs to be only about 6 to 10 paragraphs long.

For example, lets assume your content is "7 Tips for Getting Published Online". With an email course, you can provide a 7 part series with a different tip in each part. This email
course could go out to your subscribers every other day so they receive it over a period of 2 weeks.

You want to make sure your email course is free so do not give away everything you have to offer. Just provide some important information which will lead potential buyers to look at what else you have to offer. You want to give them a taste of what they can get.

Then what you want to do is offer your products or services for sale in each email. If you are sending 7 emails as part of your email course then you get 7 opportunities to advertise what you have to offer.

This could be your own product or a product you resell as an affiliate in an affiliate program. Both work equally as well.

When people read your valuable information in your email course
they are MUCH MORE LIKELY to buy than if they just visited your web site. I know this is a fact because it has been my personal experience.

Have you noticed how popular free email courses have become lately?

Well, now you know why. They really work and they really produce excellent results. I can guarantee your conversion ratios will increase.

So if you are NOT offering a free email course you are missing out on additional opportunities to make sales.

You can set up your own free email course with one of the free autoresponder services at sendfree.com or getresponse.com

Start your email course today!

If you are anything like me, then you've come to depend on email. In fact, I
must read my email several times a day or I feel very uncomfortable. This
applies to both my email from work (which I check a few times after I get
home and on weekends) and my personal email (which I might check once or
twice from the office.

Why is it important? Well, email is communication, and I love to
communicate. I write emails at home to discuss my articles and web site, to
talk to family and friends, and to order products or get support. At work I
use it constantly to deliver tasks to the people who work on my team, answer
questions from the boss, and keep in contact with my vendors, users and
peers.

One of the problems that I face when attempting to get to my email in either
location is how to access the POP server (a POP server is the place where
your messages are stored until you read them in your email client).

What you need to do is use one of the web based email services which allow
you to read your email messages from any POP server. See "Free stuff
Headquarters - Email" for a list of services which are available. In
addition, your own ISP or web host may provide this functionality for you.

http://www.internet-tips.net/Freestuff/Freeemail.htm

It's easy to set this up once you've settled on a service. They will need
you to enter your email address, account name, password and POP server name.
Before you enter this data, you may want to be sure your service is secure
while you are filling out the form. Basically, before you press the SUBMIT
button, see if the URL begins with "https" or the little lock is shown in a
locked position. If so, you are fine. If not, you may be transmitting your
password in the clear, which means it could be intercepted by an evildoer.

Now that you've got a service you can pick up your email. Be sure to check
the box which says "leave email on server" or "do not delete messages" or
something like that, unless you are absolutely sure you want to delete them.
What this does is leave the messages on your POP server until you read them
with your normal email client.

Okay, now what? Well, when you travel you can find a place to read your
email. Let's say you are at a convention. You could find a kiosk which
allows for internet access and viola, you can read your email. Sometimes the
salespeople will let you use one of their screens if they think you might be
or might become a customer. Airports, libraries and other places also
commonly have computer and internet access for a fee.

Some cautions are in order here. By their very nature these kinds of public
systems are not secure. Just be sure you use your common sense and don't do
anything you would not want to broadcast to the entire planet. Also, be sure
the email service that you choose stores the password for you - never enter
your email account password on a public system. Thus, you should enter your
password once - when you set up the email account.

It's also a good idea to change your POP email account password more often,
most especially after you return from your traveling.

Personally, I prefer to carry a laptop or handheld device (such as a palm
pilot or Jornada) with me when I travel. This way I can pick up my email
from the hotel room or anywhere I can find an ethernet jack, without
worrying about the inherent security issues of using a public system.

In the current Internet market, many people are confused as to how they can use email to build their online businesses, while consumers are fighting off the evils of spam email. As a result, we are tackling this most important issue today.

The ideal way to use email to develop your business is by creating a double opt-in list on either YahooGroups, Topica.com, SmartGroups.com or FreeLists.org.

I have dozens of these lists in existence myself. Basically each opt-in list provides a specific talking point or advertising point that people are interested in. (Examples: I have a dozen lists for free-reprint articles, 2 lists for ezine ad swaps, 2 small lists talking about online business, one for computer help. I also have a couple for advertising ezines to the public. I have tried safe-lists but the hosting companies keep deleting those.)

Additionally, I have at times past had up to 5 ezines, but right now only one. Each of the five ezines were on various topics --- including computer software, online marketing and general entertainment --- and all were double opt-in.

Each of the hosting companies allow you to place an ad in each mailing delivered to your group. With YahooGroups, you can only place one ad at the bottom of the email. With Topica, you can place your ads top and bottom. I cannot tell you much about FreeLists.org since I just learned about them this past weekend.

The trick to any opt-in list is providing something based on a niche interest. Provided your list delivers something of value to the subscribers, the people will sign up to receive them.

With the ezine, you would try to provide some type of valuable information of interest to your target market. By consistently providing valuable information to your readers, you will be building the relationships with people who will likely buy from you in the future.

Let me say one thing here. Do not let an ezine distract you from your real purpose. Any ezine you develop is a tool to help you grow your business. Don't fall into the common trap of starting an ezine to promote your business and then thinking later that your ezine is your business.

There are in fact several large mailing companies out there with clean, double opt-in mailing lists for ads, but I must emphasize care when selecting one of these companies. If the mailing company cannot promise that their list is double opt-in, leave them be. Be sure to also get references and check those references. There are a lot of scammers out there sending spam to millions of harvested addresses and then trying to convince you that their mailings are safe. Buyer beware.

Double opt-in means that I as a subscriber request the mailing then I receive a verification email from the mailing list telling me that I must follow certain steps to verify my intentions to subscribe. Double opt-in is literally a method of getting someone to agree twice to receive future email.

Single opt-in lists can be and are often abused by their owners or the public-at-large. So avoid single opt-in lists at all costs. Even the appearance of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE/Spam) can be deadly for your business.

Ezine advertising is a great method of building business, but this too is very risky depending on your type of business. Knowing where to place your ads is always the greatest challenge. Some ezines are great and some are dogs. Some are expensive and some are inexpensive. Determining the strength of your ad copy is tantamount to your success before spending a single dime on advertising in ezines.

There are ezines offering free ads, but they are not worth much to your advertising bottom line. Most of these ezines don't have a solid buyers base to them at all. Rather, they are mostly comprised of sellers who were searching for the freebie advertisements. Just the same, you can use these to test your ads before taking your money to the paid ezines. This is just one of hundreds of ways to test your ads before purchasing expensive ad space.

Other ways to test your ads is to place them in classified ad websites, in safe-lists, in general advertising or niche mailing lists. You could run them in low-cost ezines. You can also set them up as independent doorway pages which are submitted to search engines.

There are also FFA pages that can be used for testing, but I generally recommend against FFA pages because the return is so very, vary low by the nature of how FFA pages are operated and used. In my mind, FFA pages simply are not worth the time or money that you invest in them.

Sites like http://SubmitAds.net permit you to place your ads in their directory and then send your message to people who will place their advertisements through your replicated SubmitAds website. If you were adventurous, SubmitAds actually sports a nice pay program to enable you to send email to everyone in their network at the intervals you decide. You may even earn a few additional dollars by participating in their program.

No matter what approach you take to place and test your advertising and ad copy, you should be running some type of tracking to determine the effectiveness of your advertising in circulation. Without some method of tracking being employed, your test results are based only upon guess work. In the real world of business, guess work just does not cut it. You need to know precisely what is working for you and what is not working for you.

There is no better way to determine what works and what does not than to employ some type of ad tracking software. There are a few companies employing such services, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, and each with very different pricing structures.

Shop around and see which ad tracking software is best for you and then use it to make a realistic determination as to what is working and what is not. Test your ads and your advertising mediums and track the results produced by each. And when the day is done, move forward with what has proven successful and then discard the rest.

Part 1 of this article (www.isitebuild.com/organizedemail) discussed how to efficiently organize your email so you can spend more time on building a profitable business.

One of the most annoying aspects of dealing with incoming email is spam mail (unsolicited email). It fills up your email box, takes up your precious time, and seems to only get worse. You may even delete your personal or business email that was mistaken for spam mail.

This could result in lost business to you.

In Part 2 of this article you will discover solutions to help you stop spam mail. This allows you to spend more time building a profitable business.

Apart from just hitting the delete button each day here are some timesaving solutions:

1. Use the filters or the message rules of your email client.

a) In outlook express (since it is the most popular email client) go to tools - message rules - mail - mail rules - new

b) Under "select conditions for your rule", check "where the subject line contains specific words".

c) Under "select the actions for your rule" check "delete it".

d) Under "rule description" click on "contains specific words" - enter words or phrases that you never wish to receive again.

e) Under "name of rule" provide an appropriate name for the rule ie JUNK.

f) Click OK

Creating this JUNK rule will automatically delete emails containing the specific words or phrases you entered.

There are many other rules you can apply (ie move certain messages to specific folders automatically), depending on what you need.

Here are a couple of web sites that list phrases and keywords frequently used in spam mail:

http://www.sv-cs.com/spam.html http://www.wilsonweb.com/wmt8/spamfilter_phrases.htm

2. Use anti-spam software.

You can install software either on your computer (client side) or on your web host (server side).

a) Client Side - software that resides on your computer.

Mailwasher (www.mailwasher.net) - provides an easy way to check and manage your emails before you download them.

There are free and paid versions of mailwasher.

Spamkiller (http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/msk/default.asp)

Features:

*Block emails using both lists and preset filters *Update internal filters automatically *Filter MSN/Hotmail, POP3 and MAPI email *Create custom filters
*Quarantine spam mail outside of your inbox *Import "friends" automatically into your safe list *Monitor and filter multiple email accounts *Fight back against spammers

Paid version only.

b) Server Side - software that resides on your server. This means the spam mail will be deleted before it makes it to your inbox.

Ask your web host what spam mail software they carry and how to implement it. My web host uses spamassassin.

Spamassassin (www.spamassassin.org) this is a mail filter widely used by ISPs to identify spam mail before it reaches your inbox. Check with your web host if it is already installed.

The spam-identification tactics used include:

header analysis - identifies spammers using tricks to mask their identities in the email header.

text analysis - identifies characteristic styles used by spammers in the body of the email.

3) Get a free SpamCheck Report

Here is a FREE test you can do to make sure your newsletter gets through to your subscribers and is not stopped by spam software. Just send your newsletter to spamcheck-webselling83@sitesell.net and you'll get back a full SpamCheck Report in seconds.

Make sure TEST starts the subject line or it will be ignored.

Now your readers can stay out of the "Junk Mail Folder."

Use these techniques and tools to remove spam mail before it gets to you. You will gain more time and be able to concentrate more effectively on your business.

Spam has been such a problem that email filters are
now widespread on the Net. These filters are a necessary
response to the menace of spam. However, will the
excuse of spam be used by companies such as Hotmail
to charge for email?

Disturbing news that Hotmail (owned by Microsoft) is
blocking perfectly legitimate emails because they have
been caught by their anti-spam filters is increasing these
fears.

Allan Gardyne of Associateprograms.com has been
commenting recently about the difficulties SiteSell
(owner of the website building package SiteBuildIt)
has had with Hotmail.

http://associateprograms.com/discus/viewtopic.php?t=2847

When SiteSell complained to Hotmail they did not get a
helpful response. Microsoft suggested that they use the
services of a company called Bonded Sender which would
ensure that SiteSell's legitimate non-spam emails would
reach their customers. It just happens that one of the owners
of Bonded Sender is a former employee of Microsoft!

Many other companies have had similar problems with
Hotmail. Bill Gates is on record as wishing to charge for
email as a method of preventing spam. Unfortunately,
when the big companies on the Net gang up like this, a sort
of inevitability about charging for email creeps in. Nearly
60% of email is handled by Hotmail, AOL, and Yahoo
combined. These three companies could have the power
to force customers to pay for their email.

However, customers still have bargaining power.
They may decide to stop using Hotmail and opt for a genuine
free service. The founding fathers of the Internet had a public
service attitude to the free dissemination of information.
If the big companies charge for email, this egalitarian ideal
will be lost.

The most appealing aspect of the Internet for many people
was precisely this level-playing field that it created. The
hobbyist in any part of the world could communicate and
pass information (through email!) to other enthusiasts.
The small entrepreneur could set up a website and make
money without reference to the multinationals.
However, this freedom will be lost if customers are not
vigilant. The big companies like Microsoft are businesses
concerned with profit. The freedom of access that the
Internet gives to the small person in any part of the world
is not a priority of the multinationals.

Email is no doubt one of the most effective form of communication. Virtually anyone with Internet Access must have at least an email account. Email messages can be sent to anywhere in the world, to any email address, and cost almost next to nothing except for your Internet access fee.

This form of communication certainly gives small / home business owners a highly advantageous point to compete with larger corporation on the net for a piece of their well deserved share of the market.

In case you haven't notice already, it's getting harder than ever to get your email messages or newsletters delivered correctly to your subscribers now. With all those fancy spam-killer and anti-spam filter softwares, as a legitimate and responsible webmaster / publisher we are seriously affected in the process and thus have to do double work just to get our newsletters delivered properly. Why?

Recipients with SPAM filter software installed in their email accounts will filter out any messages that it *think* may be SPAM. The filter software will scan through your messages and search for the most obvious trigger (SPAM) words like: money, sex, guarantee, unsubscribe, etc...I'm sure you get the idea.

This is actually very outrageous as most of the words filtered our are actually important words that are indispensable to writing an effective email messages / newsletter. If your email messages contained any trigger words, the spam filter software will either put your email messages into the bulk folder or bounce back entirely. Seriously, who will even bother to open the bulk folder and read through each messages?

Fortunately, there's a workable solution to this problem...let's take a look at the following examples.

Example 1: FREE is one of the trigger words you should avoid using.

Get your FREE report on how to avoid spam filters.

Example 2: FR*EE however is not same as FREE, is it?

Get your FR*EE report on how to avoid spam filters.

That's right, you can disguise those important triggers words just by inserting a simple keyboard symbol but be sure that you do not overdo it and make it too cryptic that your readers can't understand.

Note: This is not a 100 percent solution that your email will not be filtered out but it's sure better than using the word FREE directly only to have your email sent to the bulk folder and deleted later. That's why it's always better to test your email messages / newsletter thoroughly before sending them to your subscribers. Luckily I've recently came across a website that will check your email message content for FREE and tells you how it ranks in Spam Assassin.

The site name is Lyris' Content Checker - http://www.lyris.com/contentchecker/

All you have to do is copy your email messages and paste it into the huge textbox. They will check your email messages and send you an email report within minutes.

June 3, 2004--Small businesses no longer have to rely on whatever email services they can get from the provider of their Internet dialup or high speed access service. Even the smallest businesses can now have the same level of service previously available only to large corporations, thanks to a new service from WebGusto, a Dallas-area Internet services company. "Picomail" is an email service with the ease of use of Hotmail or AOL's email, but with built-in features previously available only with in-house corporate email systems and support staff.

"Picomail allows businesses to handle email in a businesslike manner," says WebGusto founder Bill Sholar.

Each business gets its own domain name (such as example.com), and can set up as many accounts (such as joe@example.com, purchasing@example.com, etc.) as needed.

"If you are The Example Corp, doesn't it just make sense for all your email to go to addresses at example.com? Do you know of any business of any substance that doesn't use its own name, or something close, for its email addresses?" asks Sholar. "Every Picomail account comes with the domain name of your choice, as long as someone else hasn't already taken it."

Businesses can optionally elect to have an "email receptionist" who can review and redirect incoming email addressed to functional names such as Sales, Service, Personnel, and so forth, as well as email addressed to employees who are away from the office. Likely "junk" email ("SPAM") may be redirected to the email receptionist as well, so that only legitimate messages take up the attention of the other employees.

Sholar emphasizes the importance of allowing someone within the business to make decisions about redirecting or deleting suspected SPAM, citing research by Assurance Systems showing that, due to incorrect SPAM identification, 18-27% of legitimate business-related messages sent to addresses at several common free email services did not arrive in the recipients' inboxes. Picomail does not decide which email should be delivered and which should not. That is always the business owner's decision.

Computer viruses, a rapidly growing threat to every business, are identified, stripped from email and quarantined as they arrive at Picomail's servers, before the messages ever get delivered to their intended recipients. Outgoing email is also scanned, so that businesses sending email won't find themselves sending out computer viruses, if they get "infected" through some other means.

Picomail also provides a far higher level of security than small businesses have had in the past. Messages between employees don't float all around the Internet, through the dozens of other servers that external email traverses. Internal email never leaves the Picomail server.

Previously, this level of email service required an investment in staff and equipment that only made sense when the business handled several hundred thousand messages a day. Picomail has been designed for businesses sending and receiving a few dozen to a thousand or so messages a day.

Picomail is also available to families, with parental control features enabled for protecting children from offensive email.

The service costs $34.95 per year, which includes one domain name, and as many email accounts as needed. More information is available at www.picomail.com.

WebGusto is a web site hosting and web site design company located in Prosper, a northern suburb of Dallas. WebGusto is a member of the Frisco and Denton (TX) Chambers of Commerce.

Montgomery, New York � KAB Software has released version 5.0 of Lydia Email Agent, a Windows email utility that provides a first line of defense from malicious email and spam while making it easy to read, write and reply to your email.

You are notified when new, valid email messages arrive while spam and unwanted messages are unceremoniously dumped to a spam trap. When new email arrives you can easily read it, reply to it, delete it or launch your regular email program with a single click. Because Lydia Email Agent accesses your email while it is still on the server you can quickly delete potentially harmful messages before they get to your inbox.

The ideal way to use email to develop your business is by creating a double opt-in list on either YahooGroups, Topica.com, SmartGroups.com or FreeLists.org.

The trick to any opt-in list is providing something based on a niche interest. Provided your list delivers something of value to the subscribers, the people will sign up to receive them.

Do you have a boring email address? Are you tired of promoting and giving free advertising to a multi-billion dollar company by using their email address (i.e. Yahoo, Hotmail, MSN & AOL) Do you wish to use your first name rather than some concoction ending in 6 digits? Imagine getting a fun, useful and easy to remember email. Would you like to create an email address to sponsor or promote yourself (your interests, likes, loves, your car, boyfriend), your business (products or services you sell), your university (Alma Mater) or sports team, favorite animals, your country, city, and over 100 other categories?

Better yet, imagine having not 1, but 2 or 3 even 4 or 5 Email addresses with ONE LOGIN and ONE PASSWORD and all of them accessible using the same login and password.

It makes you wonder if a system like this exists. To the surprise of many it does.

But the addresses are going quickly. Incredible email addresses that are Personalized and FREE are still available and being reserved at the rate of 1000s per day.

Go to the world's newest multicountry, multilingual portal (http://www.MosaicFx.com) and register for FREE Personalized email. These email addresses are incredible, some names are already taken
Stephen@Stanford.Grad.At
George@Utes.Alumnus.At
Lena@JuliaRoberts.No1.At
The choices are almost endless. Imagine getting an email address with flair and possass, addresses like
You@YourTeam.No1.At
You@YourUniversity.Alumnus.At
You@YourCountry.BiggestFan.At
You@YourProducts.Available.At

With over 250,000 domains, over 250,000 people with names like Thomas, Michael, Jane, Mary, Sue, Steve, Lena and your name can use their FIRST NAME for an email address. No need to wonder who is Sue23525 compared to Sue22351 when the first Sue likes her alma mater in New York and the other Sue loves her country.

If you think this is incredible wait until next week when I expose their Rename System. As a hint, let me tell you that I have never seen a system like it. Complete Renames, like http://Cars.4Lease.At/Hertz can be created. Imagine what this does to the value of the ".com", an incredible domain name is no longer necessary when everyone can rename their site to a valuable, incredibly easy to remember rename. Good emailing and renaming to all.

Are you providing a free email course to your visitors?

A great way to disseminate content online is via an email course. Better still is the WAY you can distribute the
information.

This could be your own product or a product you resell as an affiliate in an affiliate program. Both work equally as well.

Have you noticed how popular free email courses have become lately?

Well, now you know why. They really work and they really produce excellent results. I can guarantee your conversion ratios will increase.

So if you are NOT offering a free email course you are missing out on additional opportunities to make sales.

eMail Holiday Cards May Send the Wrong Message

By BIG Mike McDaniel

Thinking about saving time and postage this holiday season by sending your greetings by eMail? Don't.

Using eMail will get the greeting delivered all right, but it might not be the message you want to convey. eMail is great for rapid communication. eMail is terrific for business. eMail it is great for old friends to keep in touch. But eMail is a real flop when it comes to expressing genuine emotion or caring.

The sentiment expressed when you snail-mail a card, picked by you, addressed by you and signed by you cannot be duplicated on a color monitor. Some people like to use the free electronic greeting cards that send an eMail message that points the recipient to a web page that has an antimated greeting card, some artificial music, and an ad for a product! What feeling does that convey?

Think back to holidays past and the joy of opening cards and reading the handwritten messages. Now consider how you felt when the card was factory imprinted with the name or business of the sender, or worse, how you felt when your name was stickered on the front by a computer label.

I help people and businesses better understand and use eMail. With over 50 Billion eMail messages traveling around the globe every day, there is not a lot of room for the flat emotion of an eMail holiday greeting. First, more than half of the people who use eMail still see only plain vanilla text. Newer and fancier eMail programs allow the reader to see fancy pages with color and photos, called HTML. But if you send an HTML encoded eMail message to a friend with plan vanilla text eMail, your message will be lost in lists of code and funny characters. I tell my audiences to stay away from eMail greetings at holiday time.

Many people put their snail-mail (US Post Office) address in the "signature" at the end of their eMail messages. Most eMail programs will do that automatically on every message, if you ask. Start now, collecting post office addresses so you can mail a sentiment to your friends.

You can keep your holiday list in the computer, nothing wrong with that, but leave the labels in the drawer and print the list only as a guide for hand addressing those envelopes. Get the family involved. Everyone can address, even the kids.

If you feel comfortable with your computer, check into printing your own greeting cards. There are a number of programs available at office and computer supply stores that will design and print cards for you, for any occasion. They come with blank cards and envelopes. Make sure the program you select has refills and additional card blanks available.

Exercise restraint when making your own cards� it is so easy to let the computer print your name on the inside like those factory imprints that most of us find so distasteful. I recommend you make, or purchase, several styles of cards. Cards with a Jolly Santa, A Holiday Tree, A Serene Setting and a Religious Theme, or more.

Send different sentiments to different friends, business associates and relatives. You may want to send a "Happy Holidays" card to those who might be offended at "Merry Christmas".

Whether you print or purchase your variety of greeting cards, choose ones that use the same size envelope. By doing this, you can have an address party instead of watching TV and get all the envelopes done at one time.

Then have another party (a week later) to select and sign the cards. Take the time to add a personal note on every card, it will convey emotion and friendship so much more than just your signature.

Hold back on the desire to insert one of those "what we did this year" newsletters. Those tend to say the recipient is not important enough to have heard from the you at the time of the breaking news. If there is big news in your family in June, print your card list and hand address some notes, don't wait until December.

Most holiday cards will still mail for 37 cents even with a picture enclosed. Sort though the many pictures taken this year and choose one or more to insert with your cards. Order your reprints now, so you have plenty of time.

If you took pictures with your computer camera, you can get special glossy paper to print pictures that look like drug store originals. Don't make them too big. There is nothing tacky about using your computer to add a caption to the picture before you print it. Computer or drug store, be sure all photos have names and dates of those pictured. Oh, if Grandma had only done that, those old pictures in the drawer would have some much more meaning now.

The Post Office always wants you to mail early, but for best emotional results hold off until after the first of December. In 1860, the goal of the Pony Express was to get mail from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California in ten days. Not much has changed. Mail before December 10 or your snail-mail may not make it in time.

Convey your message of friendship, love and business communication in a very personal way this holiday by not using eMail for seasons greetings.

BOSTON, MA, September 27, 2004. Had it with jsmith9999 and other assembly-line email addresses? Don't want the ISPs to lock you in? Like your privacy? Start-up PW Registry Corporation (www.pwregistry.pw) wants your business. To get it, the firm, which runs the .pw domain for the Pacific Island nation of Palau, has figured out an ingenious system for helping consumers and small businesses handle their email identities.

The PW way looks deceptively simple. Users choose a new email identity via any Web browser, by entering their preferred address and then adding .pw at the end. For example, they could enter "Smith.pw." Users are then presented with a search box where they choose what comes before the "@" sign for their email address.

"With .pw email, users can choose a meaningful e-mail address -- their last name, hometown, favorite school, passionate hobby, anything," says Tom Barrett, CEO of PW Registry. "And with the system's spam-control features, users control who can send them email. We are so confident that this is the last email address you'll ever need, that we're offering no-obligation 30-day free trials for all comers."

Barrett says "There is a privacy epidemic on the internet and consumers are fed up." He continues, "With leadership and support from Palau, we've come up with the Internet's first and only domain extension designed to protect the privacy of individuals. It provides distinct advantages compared to .com, .net and .org-based email addresses."

Customizable and Personalized E-Mail Addresses
PW has reserved .pw's entire second level (anystring.pw) for shared use. Therefore, there are no restrictions on what a user can register as their address. A reality show devotee can choose Joe@Survivorfan.pw. A resident of Paris, Texas can choose the address Nicole@Paris.pw. A Smith family member can choose John@Smith.pw. A small business can choose Acme@Consulting.pw. To check availability, users just need to enter an address like "Consulting.pw" into their web browser.

Privacy and a Spam-Free Experience
Concern about spam is a significant factor for consumers choosing an Internet service provider. According to a recent survey, 23% of online households perceive their ISP as very unsuccessful at stopping spam. Because PW Registry operates the .pw top-level domain, the company can block spam closer to the operational core of the Internet. The company applies challenge-response and white-listing technology to stop spam well before it makes its way to consumer inboxes.

E-Mail Portability
Consumers and small businesses hesitate to treat e-mail addresses as permanent online identities because e-mail services are so fundamentally tied to ISPs. With .pw, users can maintain their permanent .pw email address using any ISP. They can then change providers without losing touch with friends, family, and business contacts.

How the Free Trial Period Will Work
Users will enter their desired address into their browser ending with a ".pw". Users can be creative with addresses such as "junior.pw", "irish.pw" or "skip.pw". Once the availability of the address is confirmed, they will be re-directed to a PW Reseller to reserve the free trial address. At the end of the test period, users will decide whether to keep their address or cancel.

About PW Registry Corporation
As public trustee of the .pw domain, PW Registry Corporation is responsible for protecting the public's interest in the management and administration of the Internet's first domain extension devoted to consumer privacy. .pw works throughout the global Internet without change to the existing technical infrastructure. For more information, see http://www.pwregistry.pw.

Occasionally it is necessary to get some kind of information from your visitors. One way to do this is to embed your email address, as a "mailto" tag, directly on all of your web pages. This is not recommended for the following reasons.

Embedded email addresses are vulnerable to spam spiders. These are special programs which scan web pages looking for email addresses. These addresses are then sent spam emails.

- You cannot format your questions. - You cannot validate the answers to the questions - You have no control over the visitor's experience of the data entry.

All right, if you do not embed email addresses into your web pages, how do you get data from your visitors? It's simple - just create an email form.

Before you can begin you must obtain a forms processor. This can be done using a service such as Bravenet or you can install one on your own server (if this is allowed by your host provider). In these examples I will be assuming you are using the Bravenet forms processor.

There are hundreds of different sites that will remotely host forms for you, and if none of those will serve your needs you can set up CGI routines on your own server (assuming your hosts supports them).

Once you have registered with your forms provider (in these examples I am assuming you use Bravenet) you can begin creating your form. You will need some information before you start:

- The name of the forms processing routine - The names of any parameters which are needed by this routine

These items should be described in the documentation, FAQ or help files for the forms system.

Now you need to include the appropriate HTML code on your page to create the form. A simple form consists of two tags (there are other tags, but we will not go into them in this article)

- begin the form
- get some data or define a value

The tag begins the form and defines the location and name of the forms processor to use. The purpose of this forms processor is to take any data that was entered by your visitor and format it into an email, then send that email back to you. Some of the better forms systems allow you to confirm the data with your visitor before it's sent and to even send a copy of what was entered via email back to your visitor as a confirmation.

An example tag from Bravenet is shown below.

This tag says simply, "when the visitor presses the submit button, send all of the data that was entered to the senddata.php file". The senddata.php file contains special code which performs the necessary magic to send the data to you.

Now you need to include some special "hidden" values to tell the forms processor what to do. Hidden values do not cause any entry to be done - they merely set up data to be used by the forms processing routine.

These two lines inform the Bravenet processor of the user number of the form. This is created when you create a new form. Each form has it's own unique number. Other forms processing systems may use similar identifiers, or they may do something completely different.

It's important to understand this concept - these values are completely defined by the forms processing routine. Different names and values will be used by different forms systems.

Once you have set up the required and optional hidden values for your forms processor, you need to define the form fields and input values. The three lines below show how to do this.

What is your name?

Where are you from?

E-mail address?

These three lines ask your visitors for their name, location and email address. As you can see, the prompts and formatting are included directly in your form. The tags are used to define the fields that actually get the data. The word "size" is used to indicate how many characters to retrieve.

Now it's time to give your visitors a way to submit the form.

These two lines define the "submit" and "reset" buttons. The reset button is optional, but the submit button is required (otherwise how would the data actually get sent to the form?)

Now you need to end the form. This is done as shown below.

That's all there is to using a simple form to get data from your visitors.

No doubt about it.

"Spam" (unsolicited commercial email) threatens to paralyze and ultimately destroy the email system as it currently exists on the Internet.

Anyone with an email address can attest to the fact that the avalanche of Spam has only increased in the last year and shows no sign of stopping.

However, the current system many Internet Service Providers (ISP's) use to deal with Spam may just destroy the Internet's email system long before the spammers do.

Now, I won't deny that the weight of the Spam on any ISP's resources can rate very significant.

It's been estimated that between 30-60% of all email now sent is Spam!

This means that 30-60% an ISP's system resources (bandwidth, hardware, system maintenance) go towards delivering messages nobody wants to receive.

Out of self-defense, many ISP's turn to third party services like SpamCop, SPEWS (Spam Prevention Early Warning System), and SpamHaus to help them identify sources of spam and block the messages before their email systems get clogged.

No Trial - No Defense - Guilty!

In theory, it's a great system.

In practice, it creates a situation resembling a witch hunt where the accused gets burned at the stake without a trial, let alone the ability to face their accuser. Here's how the system works.

Let's say a business habitually sends legitimate email to its customers or prospects who asked to receive the email.

As long as nobody complains, life proceeds as normal.

But then let's say one of those people forgets they opted in to the business's email list and reports an email message as spam to one of the services I mentioned above.

Result: the business gets blacklisted by one or more of these services and ISP's in turn automatically block email (legitimate email) sent by the business to its customers and opt-in subscribers.

To make matters even worse, nobody at these anti-spam services bothers to let the business know they've been blacklisted.

When the business finally discovers their status and tries to contact SpamCop, SPEWS or SpamHaus, the real fun begins.

If the business does discover which service(s) blacklisted them, they'll find they can't call anyone on the phone to discuss the problem.

They also discover these services are totally unregulated and there is no higher court of appeals.

Any email responses from these services often contain a smug attitude of assumed guilt that scoffs at your claims of innocence.

Also, don't bother asking for the opportunity to face your accuser in order to prove your innocence because they get to hide behind a cloak of anonymity.

Combining this attitude of assumed guilt with the inability to prove your innocence creates a recipe for disaster for every legitimate business.

Oh, by the way, while writing this article, I received 19 spam email messages through an ISP monitored by all 3 anti-spam services.

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

In the end, the current system only creates opportunity for abuse that targets legitimate businesses while the real spammers just merrily keep sending their flood of email.

One of the secrets to a successful online home based business is capturing your visitors' email address so you can contact them again and again. The most effective way to capture email
addresses is by offering a free newsletter, free email course or free ebook.

For affiliates, capturing the email address is a bit more difficult, but certainly no less important.

If you resell products or services on your web site this is done through affiliate links. Quite often your visitor comes to your site, clicks an affiliate link and leaves; perhaps
never to return again.

You MISS capturing the email address!

So how can you ensure you get that email address?

While you will never capture everybody's email address there
is a way to increase the number of email addresses you do capture.

You need to redesign your web site and change the focus away from affiliate programs and towards getting email addresses.

Here are 3 web design techniques you can use immediately:

1. Offer a free newsletter on your home page or entry page and make the sign up process really easy.

2. Offer a free email course on your home page or entry page.

3. Take the affiliate links OFF your home page. You are much better putting affiliate links in your newsletter or email course.

To have a better chance of getting the email address it comes down to offering your visitors something else before giving them access to your affiliate links.

The best �offer' is something for free like a free newsletter, free email course or free ebook.

Believe me, altering your web site like this does work. I used to have lots of affiliate links on my home page but not many sales.

Now, most of the people who purchase through my affiliate links are already subscribers to my newsletter or my email courses.

Do not underestimate the importance of this. Redesign your web site to capture your visitors' email addresses.

Excerpted from PlanetLink's Enews - an email newsletter delivered for FREE to your computer. To subscribe, go to www.planetlink.com

This issue focuses on the effective use of email lists and bulk email for website and business promotion. Bulk email essentially consists of sending the same message to some number of recipients at the same time. Spam is characterized as sending bulk mail to recipients whom you have had no prior contact or permission.

The issue of whether or not to send Spam can be summed up in three words - "don't do it." While it's not currently illegal under Federal law, (although sending bulk non-approved faxes is), it is generally not permitted by Internet Service Providers under their "terms of service" agreement (PlanetLink's terms of service can be found at http://www.planetlink.com/policy.html). Most ISPs will issue a warning on the first occurrence and cancel a client's service on the second. The reason for zero tolerance is that while the responsible party can literally send millions of messages almost for free, the costs associated with sending, delivering and receiving spam are incurred by the recipient whose time is spent processing unwanted mail as well as the ISPs that transport and store email. A recent European Commission report found that the world wide cost is $9.36 billion per year.

The other reasons for not sending Spam are the impact it has on the reputation of the company and the risk of interruption or cancellation of service. The other issue of importance for ISPs whose client's repeatedly send spam is that mail sent from their network can be blocked by other ISPs trying to stop spam from reaching their clients; potentially affecting thousands of customers. Under California Bus. & Prof. Code Section 17538.45, sending spam through a mail server based in California is illegal and allows for damages of $50 per message.

So, if we can't send Spam, what can we us bulk email for?

Bulk email is great tool for keeping in touch with your clients and customers, sending newsletters, service messages, announcing special offers and more. It can also be used to keep in contact with prospects on an ongoing basis and is an effective sales tool for generating new business. Systems can be implemented that make it easy to send automated messages on a regular basis. Systems can also be implemented which make it easy for visitors to subscribe to your list. Subscriber management features also make it easy for you to add, delete, schedule and send messages as required.

PlanetLink can assist you in setting up an effective email list system for your business and can implement anything from a fully automated system to a manual system. For more information, call us at 415-884-2022 or email info@planetlink.com.

Important Tips:

� Create an opt-in email list on your website.

� Don't buy a database of email addresses and send them bulk email - this is Spam.

� Spam can be reported to http://www.spamcop.net.

� Collect email addresses on a "sign up sheet" at public events, trade shows and presentations. Let them know on the form that they will be added to your email list and give them a check box to confirm their participation.

� If you send bulk email to your list, make it easy for them to unsubscribe.

� In the bulk message that you send, remind them of how and/or why they are on your list.

� Be sensitive to your list - people are busy and they get lots of email.

"Spam not, lest ye be spammed." ~Mari Peckham

Just yesterday, I received over 40,000 emails from a person who had harvested a contact email address from one of my websites. The person may or may not have personally secured my email address, but since I use it only to receive email feedback from my website and never to send mail, I know that it was a harvested address. Because of the nature of my use of this email address, I also have a "Thank you for contacting us." autoresponder message in place there.

My server was mad at me. My entire system was mad at me. I couldn't conduct my normal business and send out email that needed to be sent out, because my computer was hard at work downloading email upon email.

How can something like this happen?

Simple enough, really. My email was picked up off of my website and added to an autoresponder. If it had been a regular email account, I would have received an unsolicited message that I would have easily deleted, no big deal. But since my email address was attached to an autoresponder, it started a vicious cycle of email autoresponse.

The person who had sent me the email - well, they ended up with 40,000 "Thank you for contacting us." emails in their box from me.

I'm sure that that wasn't very pleasant for them, either. And the fact of the matter is that they may have not even realized that they had done anything wrong.

Spam is bad. Not all spammers are bad people, though. Some of them are just misinformed or inexperienced Internet marketers.

I'm the first to admit that marketing can be frustrating. Just when you've hit the wall and can't think of another fresh marketing idea to get new people to your site, along comes a company that offers you a list of 100,000 email addresses for just $24.95 or some other unbelievable deal. Wow! What an opportunity! Affordable, even! It's hard not to jump all over an offer like that.

But beware! It's hard to say where those email addresses are coming from.

Many unscrupulous companies use "harvesting" software that spiders the Internet and lifts email address off of websites. They then compile lists of these email addresses and sell them as "opt-in safelists" for profit.

As a marketer, using these lists can get you in tons of trouble. Once labeled as a Spammer, it is hard to rid yourself of that reputation, whether you were spamming on purpose, or you were a victim of a bad "list". You can be dropped from your hosting service or ISP. Companies that you are promoting using Spam will cancel your accounts.

Bottom line: If you are not sure that it is NOT Spam, then don't do it. Develop your own list of opt-in subscribers by offering a newsletter, free information, or something else that will get people to take notice of you. Both YahooGroups (http://groups.yahoo.com/) and Topica (http://www.topica.com) offer free, easy-to-use service that will manage your subscribers for you. You can find other similar services on the Internet. This is one of the most responsive forms of advertising, because you have the opportunity to develop a relationship with your list members.

You can also use a mailing list building service, such as Free Mailer 2000 (http://www.freemailer2000.com), although you will need to advertise your mailing list builder site in order to build your mailing list.

Safelists can be another safe way to get the word out about your business, but vary in responsiveness. I recommend the services of SafeListBoys (http://www.safelistboys.com) to help you find lists and easily manage your safelist activity for a small monthly fee. You can also find new safelists by entering "safelists" in any search engine, but watch out for those "BULK" mailing list services that may fall in the unscrupulous SPAM category. Rule of thumb, if you aren't a member yourself and know for a fact that the list is opt-in, don't use it!

If you are choosing to spam, stop immediately. It may be getting you a handful of responses right now, but the painful consequences of your actions can cancel out any benefits that you may find.

If we, as an Internet marketing community, would all agree to market responsibly, the Internet would soon be a better place to work and live. What comes around goes around. Spam not, lest ye be spammed.

If your email address is on a website that's been online for a while you're being blasted with unsolicited email (SPAM). You can delete it or you can eliminate much of it in two simple steps.

Step 1: Scramble Your Email Address

It isn't human visitors to your site that are causing the problem. It's website spidering SPAMBOTS. These spambots go out on the web and harvest any email address they can find. These harvested email addresses are then sold by unscrupulous *spam pushers*.

Your goal is to hide your email address from the spambots, but still display it for your website visitors to see. If the spambot doesn't recogize your scrambled code as an email address it won't harvest it.

Search the web for scripts that will scramble your email address. You will find many free scripts and some that you can purchase. Some are simple and easy to install. Others can be a little more complicated.

The one that I like is called EScrambler. It is a free script developed by InnerPeace.org. You can visit their site and copy the source code (permission given on the site). Or, go to http://www.webdesignwisdom.com/escrambler.shtml.

This simple script generates a javascript that scrambles your email address. Just copy the script and paste it in your HTML instead of the normal mailto:me@mydomain.com. Your email address is displayed properly for visitors to see, and the HTML looks like anything but an email address.

An example of *me@mydomain.com* in escrambled form:

Step 2: Send Spam to Your Auto-Delete Account

Now, just because you've scrambled your email address, that doesn't keep all spammers from sending email to you. Some will just use something like *anything*@yourdomain.com because they understand that most websites have email forwarding. Anything that is emailed to your domain will be forwarded to an email address you specified.

You never have to see this email if you forward it to another email address that automatically deletes it.

You will need a free email account that offers some simple anti-spam features to use as your *dump account*.

You must be able to designate email addresses from which you will not accept any email. You may already have an account that can handle it. If not, look into Mail.com or Lycos.com.

Then make your free email dump account the default forwarding address in your website's email handler. Go to your free email account and set it to reject all mail received from YOUR domain.

Then have email that is sent to your published email addresses (those you have scrambled on your site) forwarded to your normal forwarding address. Or, set them up as individual POP accounts if your hosting service offers this feature.

Now you will receive email from your website visitors who actually read your email address on your website and all other email will be deleted.

This is a very effective way to get rid of most spam that is generated from your domain. It won't eliminate all of it. The volume of spam that I was receiving decreased by 90-95% after I made these changes.

This tactic will work for sites that have been online with an unprotected email address too. Change the email address on your site to a different scrambled address. Forward all email that is sent to your old posted address to your dump account.

If you've been using your primary email address on your site, you'll need to notify everyone that your email address has changed. This makes it more difficult, but worth the effort if you're being slammed with spam.

The ideal way to use email to develop your business is by creating a double opt-in list on either YahooGroups, Topica.com, SmartGroups.com or FreeLists.org.

The trick to any opt-in list is providing something based on a niche interest. Provided your list delivers something of value to the subscribers, the people will sign up to receive them.
