The gloom and doom folks say that email marketing is dead. Why do they say this? Well, for one thing, the spammers have made it more difficult for us to get our emails delivered. For another, people are getting so many emails daily that with all the noise, they simply don’t have the time to read them. Add to that the fact that so many marketers don’t know how to write a proper email and it’s no wonder Chicken Little is running around screaming that the sky is falling. Well, I’m here to reassure you that email marketing is NOT dead. Keep reading and you’ll find out why.

This month I sent out two emails for a product that a friend of mine was promoting. I offered three really killer bonuses. The end result was that I made over $1,000 between those two emails. That’s really not too bad considering it took me all of 30 minutes to write the email ad and about 10 minutes to send the two emails out. I don’t know about you but I’ll take $1,000 for 40 minutes of work any day of the week. And all because of email marketing.

Last month I sent out one email for a special I was running. It took me 10 minutes to type up the email and another 10 minutes to send out to all my lists. Another $500 in the bag. Can you calculate how much that comes out to per hour worked? I don’t even think doctors make that much money per hour, though I could be dead wrong there.

I could keep giving you examples of how email marketing isn’t dead, but I think you got the point. Truth is, email marketing is alive and well. If anything, I am getting better results now than I got almost six years ago. I can’t say why, other than I am a better writer now, But certainly the medium itself hasn’t died. It isn’t even close to being dead.

The key is writing an email with a strong subject that makes people open, a solid content filled email that doesn’t waste people’s time and an offer that they’d be crazy to pass up. Yes, it’s really that easy. I don’t know why people complicate things. With just a few well honed steps, you can make a killing sending emails.

To YOUR Success,
