E-mail newsletter is an email marketing technique that you can use to market your products and services using email messaging. There is a belief that e-mail newsletter must be created and sent by professionals who dedicate their time and skills in delivering e-mail newsletters and might do it better than you. Some people are afraid of sending e-mail newsletter because of the tricky anti-spam laws existing in the United States. If you do so, you miss the opportunity of earning some 50% extra cash delivering e-mail newsletters.
There is nothing complex in advertising with e-mail newsletter. If you understand some simple basics, you will avoid all mistakes made by others on the way to success. Master it, and do it yourself paying only pennies in expenses using simple rules of thumb and an inexpensive email newsletter software. Let others to pay a big buck for a simple job everyone can do. The people who are in this business like your money, and they will do everything to make you believe it is difficult.
Let us start from the basics. To understand what you should do and what you must avoid, put yourself into customer’s shoes. Imagine yourself sitting home after a tough day totally exhausted. The only thing you want to do is to rest. Probably, you want to read a book or dedicate yourself to your hobby. When you just begin to have fun, your phone starts to ring every 10 minutes, and a brisk voice tries to sell you something you do not really need. You go to your computer to view your photos or chat with friends and you notice your mailbox is full of colourful junk. Be sure that all junk messages will be deleted even without reading. The telemarketers will be advised to go some place far away no-one returns from. Do not do this mistake. Treat your customers the same way you would treat yourself. This is the most important rule of thumb.
Avoid sending email newsletters excessively often and understand your customer interests. If you sell magazines, pay attention to the types of magazines your customer buys. Send information only about related magazines in your e-mail newsletter. Somebody who reads computer magazines might not be interested in fashion magazines. Try to study how many magazines can an average person read a month. Do not try to sell more magazines a month than an average person can read. 2 – 3 e-mail newsletters a month would be more than enough.
Always use a short and informative content for your e-mail newsletter. If you send HTML newsletters with graphics and font colours or styles, use it in moderation. Human brain is trained to delete all e-mail newsletters that are either too long or too colourful without reading. Your e-mail newsletter must contain only the key information and be strait-to-the-point starting from the first word (no introductions and conclusions whatsoever). If you use images in your e-mail newsletter, limit yourself to only a few images displaying the product key features only.
Please make sure you ask permission from each of your customers to subscribe them on your e-mail newsletter. Most appropriate place would be during or after his first purchase or any other business contact. You also have to have an easy way to unsubscribe from your e-mail list and it’s a good manner to put a reminder (with instructions) about it at the end of each message you send. Stop sending to those people who remove themselves from your e-mail newsletter. It is also a good practice to remove all those invalid and bounced back emails from your list.
Now let us talk about an email newsletter software. Normally, you use a content management software (CMS) with a database on your website and a shopping cart linked to your e-commerce provider. You can get a targeted e-mail list either from your website database or from your e-commerce provider. Getting e-mail list from your website database is preferable because you can narrow your quires and get e-mail lists of customers associated with purchased products. You should get your data in form of plain text files either tab-delimited or CSV that can be imported in any email newsletter software.
Create a new project in your email newsletter software and import recipients that should receive your e-mail newsletter. You want to import your recipients along with all personal information including the products they ordered and dates of purchase because you will use it to personalize your e-mail newsletters.
In your email newsletter template, reference as much customer information as you have and as logically appropriate. Always start by a personal salutation like Hello, FIRSTNAME!”. This lets you greet every customer by his or her name, which is always a good starter. If they bought something from you in the past, thank them for it, do not forget to mention it in your message. That is where your PRODUCT_PURCHASED and PURCHASE_DATE become very handy. Then go to your point. You may describe a related product, that will make a very good fit with this product.
Now you are ready to send your e-mail newsletter. You must use the lowest possible sending speed that lets you deliver your e-mail newsletter within an acceptable time interval but not faster than it is necessary. The slower you send the better delivery rate you get. Super fast delivery may cause your IP address to be blocked by email servers for 24 hours which will cause your e-mail newsletter to be rejected.
To send your messages, you can use an email account that comes from your Internet provider. Please check thoroughly if they have any limits on the number of messages you can send per hour and per day. Many will have imposed limits. Depending on the number of messages you need to send, you can consider using multiple free accounts from Gmail. If you have huge amounts, consider installing and using your own SMTP server, because no other option will be viable enough.
You can also use any paid SMTP email account where you pay for the number of e-mail newsletters you send. They usually sell packages with monthly limits. For example, you can order a package for $30 a month that will allow you to send 5000 e-mail newsletters a month or a package for $50 allowing you to send 10000 e-mail newsletters a month. The more you pay monthly the greater the number of allowed e-mail newsletters will be.

We review peoples CVs all the time. You would be surprised at the mistakes that people make when writing their CV. The tragedy of this is that most people never get to know exactly what is going wrong with their CV- they carry on in complete ignorance of what is stopping them from getting an interview
When a resume is too long, people quickly lose interest. When a resume is too short, it is dismissed as being sub standard. Two sheets of foolscap is the perfect length. Long enough to be considered as a serious contender, short enough to be understood in the time available to the employer and moved on for proper discussion later in the recruitment process.
Never use bright colours, fonts, print sizes, or textured paper on which to submit your resume. Unless creativity is part of the job requirements, conservative is definitely best. Black print on a plain white or neutral background like light brown works the best. Recruiters are expecting a certain style of resume and you won’t get far sticking to this rule. Of course there are always variations to any rule but you won’t go far wrong listening to this sage piece of advice.
Unless the job application states that you need to, then never send anyone a photograph. We have no idea who will be receiving the job application or what they will do with your personal details. You need to protect your identity. As well as this, keep your actual date of birth private- never put these details on the resume either- your age alone is fine or just leave it out. Personal details can be used to clone identities- keep your personal details safely.
Never ever lie. You will get caught out.
Bad mouthing your previous employers or employees isn’t smart- nobody wants to be disrespected. If there is a genuine reason why you left your last employer under difficult circumstances, leave it for the interview. A resume is a positive personal selling document that has no room for private vendettas or agendas.
Clean up your facebook, twitter, bebo etc. More and more employers are becoming social networking savvy. It is fast becoming the norm that people check you out in other ways than the obvious. If your personal pages cause your family some shame, you can bet that a future employer will be none too happy if they are made to look foolish.
A gap in a resume leaves an employer asking the question as to what you were doing. Never leave yourself open to rejection as employers have more and more CVs to plough through at the moment.
Humour has little place on a resume. You may be the life and soul of the party but nobody wants to employ a clown. Sober and serious is normal- of course you need to be uplifting in highlighting your achievements but no jokes. They don’t come across in print and will get you rejected
