Basically, if they aren't expecting it; it's SPAM!
OVERVIEW
SPAM is a tricky thing. Unless someone emailed
you first requesting an email back; it can technically
be considered SPAM. That is a pretty broad and unrealistic
definition, but it can still get you into trouble if you
are not careful [Learn
More about SPAM].
So, the BIG question is how do we -as marketers- get
our message out there without spamming? Well, there are
several legitimate ways to do this and here's a basic
breakdown:
- Safelists - safelists are great for
marketing at a very low cost. Safelists are many, many
"marketers" that have agreed to receive each
others email. The drawback is that everyone is trying
to sell and no one wants to buy. This is basically advertising
to advertisers... who's actually reading?
Some do buy, however, and that's your market. You just
need something that other "marketers" will
want or need. More than anything, safelists are just
a good, cheap way to test your headlines and sales copy
before launching a campaign.

- Newsletters - You can develop your
own site newsletter and send out valuable information
to your members. In the mix, you can subtly throw in
a few offers after you've earned their trust. This is
a great, free method; but it requires a lot of work
to deliver good content and to get people to sign up.
We'll teach you how to build your own list and review
the most effective ways to market and grow your subscriber
