The Death of Email Marketing

The Death Of Email Marketing

A new report is available for $1.00 US and it's titled The Death Of Email Marketing by Romell Weekly.

I bought the report to review it and I'll get back to you tomorrow.

If you feel brave enough to invest the $1.00 then here's the link:

Well, that was yesterday's post.

Here follows Fraidy's brief review:

It's an easy 35-page read, which didn't take Fraidy long to read, so he suspects it won't take you long either.

It basically sets out the problems that email poses, which are faced by all Internet marketers, and which further need to be answered.

They are basically listed as minor and major drawbacks, which Fraidy's sure we are only too familiar with.

The bottom line is that email, if it has any effect, is less effective today because of spam, spam laws, spam filters, the sheer volume of email that people get, both wanted and unwanted, etc.

Romell Weekly's solution is basically that as Internet marketers we should NOW start moving our reliance from email to direct-to-desktop communication while it is still in it's infancy, and before the masses catch on: the masses of Internet marketers, that is.

This idea is not new as there are other similar systems that can do this right now.

The difference with this system is this:

You can have private lists, as well as a general public list, which all other members can contact.

The service can be had as a Free member, Starter member ($14.95/month), Pro member ($19.95/month) and Guru member ($24.95/month).

The Guru membership is half of what I used to pay for a similar private mailing system, and so Fraidy finds this a good price for consideration.

At this stage you may want to ask the question, "Why should I pay all this money, when email is free?" Good question. Fraidy's answer is this: Shell out $1.00 US and read the report for your self. Even if you never use the service, this may save you a ton of grief from all sorts of people.

Why is spam still making it to my inbox?

And the spam article

_______________________________________



Spam is all invasive and is almost impossible to keep out of an email inbox, no matter what filters you use. The only perfectly spam-free inbox is one that is never used! And that's hardly useful, is it.

One thing to remember is this: email was never designed to be a mass-communication tool, and so was therefore never designed for mass use.

Hence the ease at which spammers can send spam.

Spammers use a variety of methods to get into your inbox, one way being to crawl the web and gather every email address they find. They can then use these addresses themselves, and also sell them to other spammers. Hence, once you're on one list, you'll get on many spammers' lists. Often, once this happens, the only answer is to quit that email address and choose another. Not very convenient, is it.

So what is the definitive and total answer to keeping spam out of email inboxes?

In my view it has to be the use of desktop technology that allows for two-way communication, and ditch email for good.

If the desktop application is not two-way, then email would have to be used for the reply, and that means that our initial problem still exists.

In short, what we need is a paradigm shift in relation to Internet mail, and as such we must opt to use a private and closed system, rather than the undesigned and outmoded 1970's technology, which is email.

This introduces you to the new net world of Private Internet Mail, and a unique two-way private Internet mail system, where spammers and others can not get in. Hence, spam is history: defeated.
