Welcome to the fifth edition of email marketing tips on July 23, 2008.

Seems like we have to pay our dues to the summer vacation time. The number of submissions has dropped accordingly, but we still have 7 posts arriving in this edition. I want to start with my usual

“Call For Participation”

The categories I am presenting today are

• copywriting
• general tips
• tools and services

My favorite story of this edition is Ed Rivis' success story (and my own submission of course.) Here we go.

copywriting

John W. Furst presents 4 Free Awesome Copywriting Resources posted at E-Biz Booster Blog, saying, “Most all of the experienced direct response marketers, Internet marketers, and email marketers will agree that ‘copywriting’ is one of the most important skills that leads to more sales.”

John's comment: I could have added even more great folks like Dan Kennedy, but that would be too much for one Blog post.

general tips

John W. Furst presents this success story reported by fellow marketer Ed Rivis 1,035 email subscribers in 35 days posted at Ed Rivis, saying, “Watch the video to see how in just 35 days I welcomed 1,035 highly-targeted and fully-opted-in subscribers on to my email marketing list… all from one print advert and a dead simple Web page!”

John's comment: That's the kind of detailed success stories we all love to hear.

John Szram presents How I Made Money By Accident! posted at Internet Business Blog By John Szram.

John's comment: Watch out, when editing messages in your email responder. You might as well end up making some sales.

Tash Hughes presents Repeat email ads not so good ? posted at Word Constructions.

John's comment: Right, don't make yourself come across as a lazy, sneaky salesrep in your email campaigns.

Tammy Powell presents An Email Marketing System for Driving Affiliate Product Sales posted at Enlightened Wealth Institute student Tammy Powell.

John's comment: Affiliate Marketing 101 - Version 784. Common wisdom refreshed. Thanks for the reminder.

John Szram presents Start Building Your Mailing List Today posted at Internet Business Blog By John Szram.

John's comment: What are you waiting for? Go. In case you don't have an email marketing service provider, yet. Go with AWeber (that's what I use, and recommend)

tools and services

Patrick Schwerdtfeger presents Social Media Integration posted at Tactical Execution, saying, “Grow your email list and cross-pollinate your affiliations by integrating your activity on various social media platforms like facebook, youtube, twitter and utterz.”

John's comment: And if you think about it Facebook for example gives you something like a “list” when creating a Facebook page or a Group. But be careful with your time and never forget that facebook owns and controls all those features. You might as well get stuck with it.

That concludes this edition. Submit your Blog article to the next edition of email marketing tips using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our Blog carnival index page.
