2.  1Shopping Cart Email Marketing

3.  Constant Contact Email Marketing

4.  Mail Chimp Email Marketing

There are Pros and Cons for each service.  One of the disadvantages of Constant Contact can be that you do not have a large number of autoresponders – only 7.

Therefore I use – Diana Walker’s Email and Newsletter Marketing Choice – this is the one I have used since 2005 and have thousands of opted-in Subscribers.  I have various  autoresponder series set up – like classes – once a week for 2 years which means I have 100 Autoresponders in one series!  so 7 autoresponders would not suit my needs.  (you could not do that with Constant Contact).   You could do that with Aweber.  Constant Contact is a good option for off-line businesses – and they have wonderful templates to use and it is very easy for the average, non-techy person to use.

If you are an online Marketer, you should know that Mail Chimp’s Terms of Use state that the following – that you cannot be an Affiliate Marketer and use their service!  Affiliate Marketers, Network Marketers, and even those promoting Nutrition Supplements are not welcomed!  This is good to know before making your choice:.

What Is Double Opt-In and Why Is It So Important?
Double opt-in is the current evolution of the business email.

Business emails include newsletters and autoresponder series.

In the earliest days of Internet marketing, it was not uncommon for unsolicited emails to be sent out to random email addresses, a fact that made free email sites like HotMail less than popular. However, legislation and a general rebellion by consumers tired of spam made this marketing technique obsolete except for a few non-US spammers.

A better way to send people email, marketers found, was to have them ask for it to begin with. Customers and interested people were asked to submit email addresses online or through other means (signup sheets at trade shows for instance), and they were added to mass email lists.

However, with the Can-Spam laws passed, this too became problematic. A consumer signed up by someone else, or who had forgotten they’d signed up for a mailing, could sue the marketer under this law, and the marketer could find themselves liable for enormous fines as well as legal fees and a bad reputation.

Do you love AWeber, too?

To solve this problem, marketers turned to double opt-in emails.  In the internet marketing world, the most popular, easy-to-use, Email Newsletter and Autoresponder is Aweber.

Constant Contact, Mail Chimp, Aweber all provide double opt-in options.  Mail Chimp can be a good service to use for Non-Profits (because of the rules above) – and it is free up to a certain point.  It can be a little too techy for some people – and then I would recommend Constant Contact.

Double Opt-In

Double opt-in is also referred to as Confirmed Opt-in or Closed-Loop Opt-in

Single Opt-In

Single opt-in is often called Unconfirmed Opt-in.

With this system, consumers sign up to be on a mailing list. Before anything is actually sent to them from the mailing list, a test email goes to the consumer asking them to respond to that test to verify that they had indeed asked to sign up. This verification takes the form of an email being returned to the marketer or, more common today, of the consumer visiting a verification website with a long-tail code embedded in the link they use that verifies that person’s identification.

There are several advantages to Double Opt-in emails:

1. The consumer is assured of getting only emails he or she has specifically requested, building trust for the vendor.

2. The vendor has verified accurate email addresses from people who have requested to be added.

3. More importantly, the vendor has a paper trail proving that he or she added a consumer at his or her specific request.

4. Protection for the vendor because of the proof, it not only proves to the subscriber but the vendor can be at ease.

5. Because of the expectation of getting an email from the vendor right away, the consumer is assured he or she added their correct email address without typos – and they can change their minds if necessary.

While it is not legally required for emails to be Double Opt-in, it’s legally smart to use this method for any kind of ongoing email subscription. It’s also good business practice for every online marketer.

It makes things go a bit slower when building your subscriber base, but it makes things more solid and accurate. The best thing you can do with double opt-in is to make sure you have clear instructions for your subscribers to follow.

An excellent system for building your subscriber and customer base with Double Opt-in is Aweber

Do you love AWeber, too?

Wishing you Success and Abundance in Life and Business!

How to Get Customers On the Internet

How do you get customers on the internet?  This is a common question.  I have been telling people about my success in Internet Marketing and Network Marketing and Affiliate Marketing. 

In June I had 13 new Healthy Whole Food Nutrition Customers from internet skills and connections.  Those 13 new Customers purchased a total of $2,000 worth of nutrition in June, which I earn a commission on.

In July (this month) – ALREADY – I have 10 new Customers.  This is only the 12th of the month today, so that is pretty spectacular.  Those 10 Customers purchased approximately $800 worth of powerful nutrition, and I also earn a commission on that.

Now, that isn’t counting the other thousands of dollars worth of monthly purchases that flow through my group every month too, based on my past 14 years of dedication and commitment.

This has been an incredible day – and we got to meet so many members of the wonderful Mom Mastermind Mentoring Group which I have been a member of since 2005. 

Mom Masterminds has been a huge part in my online journey and my success online, where I have made wonderful friendships and also learned so much about Internet Marketing, Blogging and Affiliate Marketing.

I’m posting this from Atlanta, Georgia, at midnight on the second day of an amazing 3-day Workshop on Internet Marketing.  I met Nicole Dean for the first time, in person, and I’ve known Nicole online for 5 years, this is so exciting to meet in person, and learn from Nicole.

Diana Walker, CEO, Diana’s Internet Marketing Education

There will be people there from every walk of life, and even students flying in from England and Australia!   So for me to travel from Vancouver, BC, Canada, is easy!

What a privilege to connect and network with people that I have “known” online for so long.  Some people have been my friends through forums, some have been my mentors, some have taught me about TeleClasses, about Blogging, about Affiliate Marketing.

I’ve been online since 2003 – but my first 2 years were a haze, and I felt like I was in a jungle.  I lost a lot of money – about $8,000 – during those first 2 years — but during the past 5 years, I have found the right people, who really love to help people, and I have benefited so much, and contributed back to them.

I just bought a new Flip Video Camera and a new Nikon Digital Camera, so my journey has already begun.  Of course I’ll take my laptop.

There’ll be 150 students, and 20 Instructors.

Amazing Fact – 60 of us belong to the Elite Mentoring Group – with Lynn Terry – I can’t wait to meet Lynn, and of course the 60 other people that I know from the Forums and Webinars that Lynn leads.

Can’t wait to be with a group of Internet Marketers, make new friends, and connect with friends I have already met online, and now I will meet in person!

I Discovered I Really Am An Expert In My Field And Increased My Income Streams

“Joining Mom Masterminds Mentoring Group for online mentoring. was a wakeup call in terms of realizing that I had very few potential customers. I was looking at my existing Distributors and Customers  which is in the hundreds, and I was looking after them well, but progressing very slowly in terms of new people.

Through Mom Masterminds Mentoring Group for online mentoring. I learned how to provide content and information to people, so that they would want to subscribe to my list. Being a member of Mom Masterminds has helped me gain confidence and know that I am truly an expert in my field and that people really are out there waiting to learn more. I appreciated the encouragement to establish myself as the “Go To” person in the Chinese Herbal Nutrition field.

I also have been inspired to not only continue with my network marketing, but to branch out to more Internet Marketing and Affiliate Marketing.  Getting my first Affiliate payout through PayPal was one of the highlights of my new internet career, and it was so wonderful to have other Moms to share my excitement with.

I Quit & Regretted it Immediately!

Due to overload at home, I cancelled my subscription at one point to Mom Masterminds.. Within 5 days, I was back. Absence makes the heart grow fonder! I really, really, then realized how much I had come to count on all the resources and support provided at Mom Masterminds Mentoring Group for online mentoring..

Countless times during those 5 days, I realized how much I missed the exclusive access to these resources and wonderful friends, and I never want to be outside of the community again!

I was using a Business Coach for about a year. I believe that because he was not a Mom, and didn’t have the same challenges as Moms have, it was hard for me to learn from him. Being in a community of other Moms and being supported by them seems to magically help me understand things that appeared more complicated when I was getting some one-on-one coaching, because I can relate to the other Moms — having kids around, having meals to make, not having the ‘ideal office’ environment, which is what my Business Coach was encouraging me to set up….he did not understand. Mom Masterminds does understand.

My greatest support comes from reading the posts on the forums, hearing other Moms’ questions, and then learning from the responses, and now also being able to help others occasionally myself. It is a great feeling to see how much I have learned.”
