That’s a very good point. I wish I’d known at the time to keep Sean’s emails as a reference on how to do email marketing properly. It was a very effective marketing campaign because it got both of us and probably many more.

I like the idea of email marketing. I think it a good idea to build trust and a relationship with my email list. If I can they will be more compelled to click on links to a landing page or to my blog.

I delete a lot of emails without looking at them and I’m a little hesitant about starting email marketing for that reason. I think I’m going to try to build relationships with my readers through my blog first; through their comments and on Twitter and Facebook.

I try to answer every comment that’s left on my blog and I try to visit everyone’s blog and share their stuff. I do the same with Twitter. I start following people and re-tweet their blog posts.

I’m trying to build friendships and relationships with people I like. Hopefully that way when they sign up for email marketing with me; I’ll already have a little of their trust and they’ll at least open my email.

Oh, and I’m definitely going to make sure that I actually address the emails to them personally.

I will admit that I get too many emails and don’t have time to open them all so I just delete most of them. This inundation of annoying ‘sellmails’ has put me off email marketing. It is like getting trash advertising in your actual letterbox even when you have a sign that says ‘no advertising please’.

I don’t like when people continually bombard me with requests even when I have replied to them and politely refused.

However, I have received some great news and requests via email, usually from people I actually know or know of. The more personal the email the better I like it because I can easily converse with a person rather than something automated from a company. I have signed up to a few courses through people I know sending me invites, so I would have to market myself via email, in a more personal way. That, I will have to figure out.. any tips?
