Free email marketing

Which do you think is easy on the marketer? What do marketers have to overcome when marketing services?

What is targeted information worth to you?

I am starting a new social marketing program were I am going to be giving away informational brochures, products and sending out weekly newsletters to raise awareness and educate young adults. I am not a non-profit company but I am structuring my organization like one.

This is what I am going to do: Phase 1: Give away 600K pocket reference guides to 18-30 year old male and female, it will include a call to action to come online register and get free products and to sign up for my newsletter and blog.

As a business sponsor your message or coupon will be included in all 600K guides, you will be included in all emails and have a banner on my website/blog, their will be some PR behind it and you will be mentioned as a sponsor their as well, you will also get a copy of the contact information from all end users who register so that you may continue marketing to them on your own. This is a 6 months program and will change every 6 months.

So my question is what would you be willing to pay for this service; and what information would you want collected?

I am a single mother of 1 and tired of working in corporate america. I want to learn how to market my Tahitian Noni network marketing business without targeting my friends and family. I want to come up with a great marketing idea that will not only help my business but others as well. Any suggestions?

I am starting my own insurance agency and am trying to build up my book of business through effective marketing. Although I have been working on some good strategies so far, I am looking for any advice to push it to the next level. What strategies have been successful for you?

I get lots of marketing emails offering “free” products but then they ask for personal information such as credit card info so that they can deduct a minimal shipping and handling fee. Is this some kind of scam? Some of them tell you you have to sign up for one or two offers from a list of about 2 dozen in order to get the “free” item. Isn’t this unfair marketing or illegal? I get these emails all the time and after I start filling in the required information I realize I’m getting taken because they want your personal information and try to make it seem innocent by telling you they have to collect a S & H fee.

It is software for getting emails from the internet. I wonder if there is any for free. I have been getting emails from torrent sites but now I need to get my own targeted emails. Is there a free software for that. Please advise me on the whole scenario if you can.

I’ve looked at IBP and Web CEO and want something with more features. Thanks!

I am desperate to find a way to start my own home based business, and affiliate marketing seems good because there is virtually no startup cost (I’m broke). Is this something likely to bring in a real income?
