How to Forward Email

Let's say you decide to share this TIP with a colleague or friend. What's the easiest way to do this?
Well, you could just click the forward button on your email program. But simply clicking and filling in an email address and punching the Send button may cause problems.
Here's why.
Without a short note to your friend, it may not be obvious who the letter is from, and why you forwarded it. What if they don't recognize your email address? Not saying they won't, of course. It's just good manners. Plus, you may want to tell them WHY you're sending the email.
When you forward an email to someone without an explanation, it's like getting junk mail.
Hey, let's try something. Right now, click your forward button. You'll see the subject line is filled in for you.
Good.
Now type your own email address in the "To:" line.
Drop down to the body of the message, where you'll see this TIP. Click your mouse cursor on the first line in front of the first character.
Now press the Enter key a couple of times to give yourself some typing space, and type a short message. Like "Testing." Or, "I'm forwarding this to myself."
When you're through, send the email. Then check your mail.
Very good. You've just tested your own email, and you know you're able to forward. Now try forwarding TIP to a friend.

Re: Email Marketing - Yes, true. What kind of changes happened in Email campaigns except the opt-in? Finding the exact target and reaching them is always a challenge. What new methods can we have to reach the new customers? Thanks Robert
Re: Improving Cash Flow - Hi Robert, My advice is to cut unnecessary expenses and save as much as possible. Examine your costs on a month-to-month basis and figure out ways you can save, whether it's buying less at the grocery store, using less electricity, etc. Any little bit will help. The money saved over time will amount to quite a bit. Regarding increasing cash flow through online marketing, this is possible and something I'm working on. At this time last year, I was bringing in only around $50 per month. Forward to today, and I'm bringing in anywhere from $400 to $700 per month. A lot of time and effort has been spent getting to that point and increasing my income over time, but the result is more than worth it. I try to constantly improve what I'm doing and branch out into new avenues to create even more income streams. It is possible to do, but it will take time and work on your part before you start to see the kind of extra cash that you want.
Re: What If Steve Jobs Hadn't Returned To Apple In 1997? - Thanks for sharing with us Yinko. Steve Jobs is definitely a visionary. Not only his products are innovative in a technological sense, but he's managed to turn a tech-company's products into a lifestyle.... a lifestyle!! [quote:zfqoq43n]Fast Forward to today. Apple has the sexiest products in the business: iMacs, Macbooks, iPhones, iPods and more.[/quote:zfqoq43n] I think not only tech would be different (music players and phones), but ways we can think of marketing and branding. What Steve Jobs did was of course no easy task for the smaller businesses, but he did start somewhere. What I did not know was that Apple is worth about as much as Google. How do you think Apple accomplish what they did? In terms of strategy wise? If you could advice Steve on one thing, what would it be?
Re: Email marketing strategy - Email Marketing is successful only when you get a good list of targeted people. However, some people consider it as spam. It can work wonders for you if you have selected the appropriate list of people.
