Are you interested in creating an immediate cash flow for yourself or your business? What if there was a more effective marketing

Are you interested in creating an immediate cash flow for yourself or your business? What if there was a more effective marketing strategy that would "outperform" the selling approach you are currently using, would you be interested? Read On! So you've got a great web site. But how do you get people to visit and more importantly, revisit your site? Sure, you should register it with several search engines.

But a simple, inexpensive and important way to get people back to your site on a regular basis is bulk e-mail. You can alert folks to your site's offerings, send update bulletins about changes or feature new products and services, political updates, product recalls, policy changes — you name it.

The idea behind e-mail promotion is to "push" folks to your site. For example, you can include a promo message and a one-click hot link straight to your URL. Once people are at your site, you can even guide them to a mailing list registration page, where they can fill in a form to disclose demographic data such as their full name and address, gender, personal or consumer interests, or anything else you have the gall to ask for. Once they've essentially "subscribed" to your site in this manner, the extra data can help you send them relevant or "targeted" messages.

Here are just a few advantages of using Bulk Mailing:
	If you are starting a new online business and want to reach out to the maximum number of customers at a fast pace and with the least expenses - bulk mailing is the answer.
	Sending email in this way is a great way to test your advert or sales pitch (known as 'ad copy'). Not only will you get better responses, you will also be able to send out three or four different versions of your ad copy and decide which has the greatest pull (i.e. email to sales conversion). You can then refine the best ad and use it in subsequent promotions.
	Say you launch a new product which you think will be of interest to all your potential customers, you can simply send them an email detailing the new product, how it will benefit them and where they can get it.
