Email marketing

If nobody would pay for using email, what are the alternatives that can be used to make sure (mandatory) users of free email dont get the impression of a free lunch at the cost of OPM?
- Postulate that, users of free email should vote on ideas from WhyNot.org-style suggestions and be able to write feedback on what is their version of how they see it?
- Take product surveys from national and international brands and provide market data which Yahoo will sell to the companies to recover the cost of free email.
- Pass a series of visual tests designed to build brand awareness, product awareness, etc by proving I understood what capitalism is all about and how my free email is being paid for by OPM. For example, when shown the logo of BMW it must be able to be identifiable in multiple choice format whose logo it is.
This will educate the users rather than making them take Yahoo for a free ride by making them serve Yahoo first to continue receiving free email?

- I need advance level material – not beginners guide
- Not Jim Sterne’s book please – thats a great book but I need something more recent and up-to-date
- covering overall online marketing – not Search Engine only.

Does anyone know how to do internet marketing for affiliate programs? I’ve recently joined Linkshare, but I don’t have a website. I want to promote Linkshare merchant’s websites
without a website of my own. Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Darryl

I want to sell something, but the challenge is seeing if there is even a market for that kind of item. I don’t want to list it on eBay and pay all the fees before finding out if there will be people who would want to buy it. Do anyone know of any sites that are sort of like the reverse of the typical classified ad where people list items they are looking for? I could then email then with a link to my eBay item.

Thanks in advance.

The company I work for sends out marketing emails to it’s opt-in list but our stats show low deliverability, many times our emails get stuck in spam filters. Can anyone recomend a 3′rd party SMTP server or deliverablitly service that they have found successfull?

He scheduled me for a time and then included this in the email…

All images we create together will not be sold or given ownership to any other parties and will only be used in my creative portfolio and other personal marketing materials. For your participation I will give you a copy of all the best images we produce together in addition to 10 fully touched up images that I personally choose for my portfolio. I will not be able to shoot you without me copying your driver’s license or Passport and have you sign a model agreement.

Is the above typical (to have to copy your driver’s license) or is it totally a scam?

I am trying to find out a certain trends in email marketing. Will an opt-in subscriber to a B2C e-publication be more likely to follow through to a company homepage from a newsletter with relevant articles, or a publication with a couple sales offers or free offers?

I want to build a customer list. I’ve tried spidering urls but they
