How Not to Email Market

Email MarketingThe last few days I’ve been feeling pretty ruthless with my inbox. I am pretty used to getting large volumes of email, that is my norm. It is not uncommon for about 500 emails a day to land in my inbox. The last few days, I’ve been hitting the unsubscribe links a lot.

I’ve spent a lot of time exploring listbuilding and email marketing. There appears to be two schools of thought on the subject.

One is build a relationship with your list. Treat them like you’d like to be treated and they will want to buy from you when you send them an offer. There is a lot of sense in that approach. Think about how you build friendships, you don’t build strong friendships based on what the other person can and will do for you. You build up trust and rapport. When the time arrives you need some help, a friend will usually do what they can to respond. There is a mutuality in a friendship which doesn’t really happen when building business relationships but I think you get the drift.

Beating Isolation While Working Online

Working online can be a great experience. It’s wonderful not to have to get up in the morning and trudge into a job. To put up with the politics and squabbles which are often part of the work experience. Great isn’t it?

But, people by nature have a degree of social need. We need some input from others in order to know how we’re actually interacting in the world. That’s hard to get when working online. Other than the feedback you get from customers or potential customers, you don’t really interact with other marketers like you would in a job.

Tagging People in Facebook Status Updates

Came across an article on Mashable with described ten things you can do with your status updates on Facebook. I was particularly interested in this one:

To mention someone in a status update just type “@” (a la Twitter) in the status bar and start typing their name as it appears on Facebook. An auto-generated list will then come up with people in your social circle whose name starts with the letters you’ve typed. The feature also works with pages, brands, events and companies.

Hit the name you want, complete the update, click share and the name will become a hyperlink (you won’t see the @ symbol) and will appear in blue text
