E-Mail Marketing

E-Mail Marketing

E-mail marketing is one of the oldest forms of making money online.  As the old cliche goes,“the money is in the list.” Within the MMO niche, e-mail marketing has become somewhat annoying, but there are some people who still do it well.  I like to think my newsletter subscribers get value out of my e-mail, as I very rarely promote anything.  I think e-mail marketing is critical, not just because it’s a way to drive traffic to things that make you money, but because it’s another way to stay in touch with people who follow your website, blog, or brand.  I only use Aweber, but I thought it would be helpful to include a list of alternatives.  I’ve noted the ones that are free.

1. Aweber – This is what I use for my newsletter, and it works really well.
2. Getresponse
3. Stream Send
4. iContact
5. 1AutomationWiz
6. Send Free – Has a free ad-supported option.
7. Free Follow Up – One time fee of $4.99, and then free lifetime usage (I can’t attest to the quality of the service though.)
8. Supersponders
9. Topica
10. MailChimp – Send up to 12,000 e-mails per month to a list of up to 2,000 subscribers for free.
