Mailing Lists! Free Publicity! Or E-mail Nightmare? 

What Do I Mean By "Mailing List"?

Mailing lists (not to be confused with the kind of mailing  list Money-At-Home.Com has) are communities of people formed around a topic of common interest, and have been around since the beginning of the Internet. A mailing list allows people to send email to each other easily. Instead of emailing everyone on the list, subscribers of a mailing list can send their email to one address, which will then automatically send the message to everyone else.
There are thousands of mailing lists on the Internet. Mailing lists can have messages sent to a group moderator and then automatically sent to all subscribers of the list.
Programs that collect and distribute e-mail messages to the subscribers of an e-mail list are called  Mailing List Managers.

Pros Of Mailing Lists!

  1. Free Publicity For Your Product Or Service
  2. You Can Target Exactly The Group You Are Looking For
  3. Some Mailing List Let You Send Out Many E-mails Daily!
  4. Exposure For Your Business! Provided People Decide To Even Read Your Message!
  5. A Chance To Build Your In-House Mailing List ,Collecting Leads From The People That Respond To Your Messages!

Cons Of Joining Mailing Lists!

  1. People may abuse your e-mail address and send you messages outside the list.
  2. You Will Become Bombarded With E-mail Daily!
  3. You Will Be Constantly Deleting Messages
  4. Solution To #2and #3: Digest Mode (more later)
  5. The Possibility That Your Messages Will Get Deleted Before Ever Getting Read!

Once you join a mailing list group there is no doubt that you will be getting tons more e-mail than you may ever dreamed you wanted.  I joined and it seemed as if everyone is just out to sell their goods and not really reading my stuff, but maybe that is just me. I am a free-a-holic, and I love to use free publicity! When I joined Debt Zapper ( which I am now no longer involved with), one of their reps mentioned posting to listservers, when I heard the words "free advertising" I signed up for a few. See how you like it, for me the response was mediocre! But for you, it may be a lot better!

To cut down your daily flood of e-mails you will get, signing up for the Digest Mode is best.  For more information about joining mailing lists and getting some extra free publicity, try ONElist: http://www.onelist.com. Join the lists that allow advertising  and/or sharing of business opportunities!

And if you decide you want out, it is easy and fast to unsubscribe as well.
