			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am planning to do email marketing as a service to our existing clients. We service mortgage and real estate agents and we do mailings to consumers on behalf of LO and agents. What I would like to do is to hide our domain name and show consumer as the email came from their sales agent/Loan Officer. Anyone has any idea how to do this by setting up our own server.  I am not planning to use 3rd party email <a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>marketing</a> services. Consultant work is appreciated if you provide your contact information.<br />
<br />Set your server domain as your company name, then use subdomains for your clients eg:</p>
<p>loansexpress.mycompany.com, mortgagematters.mycompany.com</p>
<p>You can set your &#8216;from&#8217; line to whatever you wish to support this so it will appear to the reader:</p>
<p>From: Loans Express (loansexpress.mycompany.com)</p>
<p>This is the most flexible way, otherwise you will need a server per client.</p>
<p>Need any more help, get in touch:</p>
<p>jay@jaymail.net</p>
<p>Cheers,<br />
Jay</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi all,I want to do <a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>internet marketing</a> through emails ..but dont know how to do this?<br />
What are the rules and Etiquette to write the mail for Email <a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>marketing</a>.<br />
<br />To make sure you are using proper email etiquette, as well as staying on the good side of the law, you should read up on the &quot;Can Spam&quot; Act at the FTC web site; they have a Compliance Guide for Business at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/ecommerce/bus61.shtm which you should read thoroughly.  Also check your ISP&#8217;s terms of service to make sure you are in compliance with their rules for email usage.</p>
<p>The CAN-SPAM Act: A Compliance Guide for Business</p>
<p>Do you use email in your business? The CAN-SPAM Act, a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have you stop emailing them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.</p>
<p>Despite its name, the CAN-SPAM Act doesn’t apply just to bulk email. It covers all commercial messages, which the law defines as “any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service,” including email that promotes content on commercial websites. The law makes no exception for business-to-business email. That means all email – for example, a message to former customers announcing a new product line – must comply with the law. </p>
<p>Each separate email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to penalties of up to $16,000, so non-compliance can be costly. But following the law isn’t complicated. Here’s a rundown of CAN-SPAM’s main requirements:</p>
<p>Don’t use false or misleading header information. Your “From,” “To,” “Reply-To,” and routing information – including the originating domain name and email address – must be accurate and identify the person or business who initiated the message.</p>
<p>Don’t use deceptive subject lines. The subject line must accurately reflect the content of the message. </p>
<p>Identify the message as an ad. The law gives you a lot of leeway in how to do this, but you must disclose clearly and conspicuously that your message is an advertisement. </p>
<p>Tell recipients where you’re located. Your message must include your valid physical postal address. </p>
<p>This can be your current street address, a post office box you’ve registered with the U.S. Postal Service, or a private mailbox you’ve registered with a commercial mail receiving agency established under Postal Service regulations. </p>
<p>Tell recipients how to opt out of receiving future email from you. Your message must include a clear and conspicuous explanation of how the recipient can opt out of getting email from you in the future.</p>
<p>Craft the notice in a way that’s easy for an ordinary person to recognize, read, and understand. Creative use of type size, color, and location can improve clarity. Give a return email address or another easy Internet-based way to allow people to communicate their choice to you. You may create a menu to allow a recipient to opt out of certain types of messages, but you must include the option to stop all commercial messages from you. Make sure your spam filter doesn’t block these opt-out requests. </p>
<p>Honor opt-out requests promptly. Any opt-out mechanism you offer must be able to process opt-out requests for at least 30 days after you send your message. You must honor a recipient’s opt-out request within 10 business days. You can’t charge a fee, require the recipient to give you any personally identifying information beyond an email address, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply email or visiting a single page on an Internet website as a condition for honoring an opt-out request. Once people have told you they don’t want to receive more messages from you, you can’t sell or transfer their email addresses, even in the form of a mailing list. The only exception is that you may transfer the addresses to a company you’ve hired to help you comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. </p>
<p>Monitor what others are doing on your behalf. The law makes clear that even if you hire another company to handle your email marketing, you can’t contract away your legal responsibility to comply with the law. Both the company whose product is promoted in the message and the company that actually sends the message may be held legally responsible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
<p>The founder and CEO of a well-established group of companies noted that the first and most important rule in sales and <a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>marketing</a> is to educate yourself first. That is the primary reason why you go through the long years of education, work hard to earn your sales or marketing degree and prepare yourself to go out to the very competitive sales and marketing world.</p>
<p>Many people have the impression that sales and marketing are one and the same. While the there is a direct, significant correlation between the two, they are also significantly different. Marketing is about reaching and persuading prospective customers to avail of your products and services. Sales, on the other hand, is the process of sealing the deal through a signed contract or an availed product or service. Without marketing, you would not have prospective customers what it is you are selling. Yet, without sales, your daily closing income would be depressing. To put it simply, marketing only matters if it is, at the end of the day, converted into sales. There is a continuous cycle between marketing and sales, and you must be able to understand it in order to be successful in the field.</p>
<p>It is but natural for new graduates to want to land a job that would hasten their way up to success. Many of them believe it is the graduate marketing and sales job they are aspiring for that could bring them to that desired disposition. Graduate jobs in sales and marketing are the fastest path for college graduates to corporate success. This can be attributed to the fact that sales and marketing jobs are people-oriented occupations.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>marketing plan</a>s are important to a business&#8217; success. The weight of this responsibility is typically carried on the shoulders of college graduates who occupy marketing positions. Most fresh graduates start out as marketing agents in various firms. The job responsibilities will challenge you to produce results in the form of sales. In addition to the training that the company you are working for provides, you also continue to develop certain skills that are necessary for you to communicate better with your prospects and customers. Those skill will keep the company moving in the direction that would meet the needs of your target market.</p>
<p>On the sales front, you should learn how to treat every customer like royalty. Relieve the customer of any obstacle in order to make things easier for him or her. Remember that a single obstacle might cause him or her doing business with you. Because of today&#8217;s highly competitive markets, it is very difficult to acquire and retain loyal customers. You have to keep giving them what they want and, at the same time, do so in the most pleasing and professional manner. Sales professionals continuously learn how to read their customers in order to provide better service. Passion grows for their customers that enables them to understand their thinking and reasons for buying.</p>
<p>It is important to note, however, how imperative it is for sales and marketing professionals to allow their target client&#232;le to take the lead. Instead of offering new products and services that are not necessary to the prospects and customers, they should offer instead things that will provide genuine solutions. Knowing your target market needs will get you a long, long way.</p>
<p>Those who are able to come up with intelligent marketing strategies as well as those who are able to significantly raise the company&#8217;s closing rate will definitely be recognized. This success does not come without the individual&#8217;s constant willingness to learn new things and continuously develop the skills they already possess. Those attributes are the things that companies are looking for in every employee. Having those capabilities will definitely get you recognized and promoted in the long run.</p>
<p>Many people believe that the motivation that drives sales and marketing individuals has to do with the commissions companies usually offer when reaching a specific quota. It is no denying that this is partly true. However, the more important motivation are the individuals that sales and marketing people deal and commit with everyday. As already stated above, sales and marketing is all about people. Sales and marketing jobs require the individual to deal with people everyday. With the training that you gained from school and the company you work for, the skills you learn everyday and the passion you develop for your job, is what makes a real difference to your clients and to your overall success.</p>
<p>Being successful in sales and marketing may come relatively faster than other careers, but it still requires time and practice. If you commit yourself, keep an open mind, learn from your mistakes and be patient, your success will follow shortly.

<p>Content websites are probably the most common website marketing strategy. Usually content websites will contain features like news, advice, articles and more. You might even find a blog or community forum. The last two are very effective methods to generate fresh content to your website and increase visitor loyalty.</p>
<p>Tips: Don’t Choose a to competitive niche try to be specific and much targeted. This will make sure you get very qualified traffic to your website.</p>
<p>- Directory Website</p>
<p>If you want to promote only one merchant or multiple related merchants you might consider building a directory website. Just make sure the products listed in your directory a closely related. This is a very powerful website marketing strategy.</p>
<p>Tips: Website should focus on a single category. Also make sure add your merchant text links into your content don’t waste your time adding banners. They always get ignored.</p>
<p>- Review Website</p>
<p> This is probably my favourite website marketing strategy. As the name mentioned this website model purpose is to provide critical review of your merchant product or services. You could write the reviews yourself or you cold have your visitors write them for you.</p>
<p>Tips: Always add rating with your review. The most important part of this website marketing strategy is to be objective, don’t try to write your review as a sales letter. Always provides review of similar products this give your visitors something to measure your reviews against.</p>
<p>- Hybrid Websites</p>
<p>Finally you could use all those website marketing strategies suggestion and try to mix them to see what works best for you. You could build a directory website and put some reviews on it. There are no written rules about the perfect way to build a website so try different options see which one works for you.</p>
<p>It is very important that you choose your website <a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>marketing strategy</a> and stick to it. Don’t try to give everything to everyone choose a specific niche and attack it hard, be specific and be focused that is the way to make money online.</p>

<p>Internet marketing is a huge business opportunity. The ways to make money, the number of things to sell and the number of people to deal with are almost without limit. The problem with the size and number of things to sell is that it&#8217;s easy to become unfocused and try to make money with too many things at the same time. <br />For more details go to: <a href="http://www.blueprint-to-internet-marketing-success.com">www.blueprint-to-internet-marketing-success.com</a> You must stay focused and operate in a small area or soon you can be overwhelmed with all the different directions you&#8217;ll be going and your business will likely go upside down. This is where strategic internet marketing can come to the rescue.</p>
<p> 
<p>Trying to come up with a solid internet marketing plan is probably the hardest thing about making money on-line. There are a lot of thing you need to think about, such as building a website, how the website will be developed, how it will marketed plus many other things. The website is just a small part of your overall business plan. You still have to think about what the market is doing, how you can fit into the market, how to work with your customers, who and where are your potential buyers, how you are going to attract visitors and literally dozens of other considerations. All of these things will be a part of your internet marketing strategy. With so many things to think about what should your priority be?</p>
<p> 
<p>Now is when you need to start putting a strategic internet <a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>marketing plan</a> into motion. The strategy is to figure out your potential market and where your business is going to come from. You must study your potential buyers and determine what they want to buy. You will need to study your competition to see where you will fit into the business that already established. How will you attract your customers and what you&#8217;ll need to do to make them repeat buyers? Its a fairly well known fact that if you don&#8217;t have a well thought out internet marketing strategy you are setting yourself up for failure.    </p>
<p> 
<p>In order to start your internet <a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>marketing strategy</a> there are a number of points you need to think about. Here are 6 of what are probably the most important ones. These will help you outline your plan and help you keep you internet marketing business on the right path to success.</p>
<p> 
<p>1. You need to start by figuring out what your target market is. There are a number of questions you need to find the answers to. These include: what type of people are going to supply most of your income, where will these people come from, how much extra money will they have to spend, what will be their age group, etc. The answers to these questions will help you decide who you customers will be.</p>
<p> 
<p>2. Strategic internet marketing doesn&#8217;t stop with just figuring out who your customers are. You must also define who your competitors will be and what their weakness and strengths are in the marketplace. Once you know these things you can plan a strategy to set your business apart from them. Give your potential customers a choice of you or your competition. Make sure you look better than your competitor in some way or it won&#8217;t be good for you.</p>
<p> 
<p>3. For your internet business to succeed your target buyer must be willing to shop online. Although shopping online is very safe there are still people who are afraid to make purchase on the internet. For can visit to: <a href="http://www.forum-marketing-videos.com">www.forum-marketing-videos.com</a> you will need to reassure your customers that their transaction will be without problems and that it will be very secure. Make sure you have enough payment options so that they will have a choice that will help convince them to shop with you.</p>
<p> 
<p>4. Even though you will have already started your business before you can determine the marketability of your product, you study sellers offering the same or a similar product. If your product is known to most people but no one is selling it there is probably a reason. By going to chat rooms and forums you can get a pretty good idea of where you product stands. Do enough research to make sure you have something that will sell?</p>
<p> 
<p>5. Your internet marketing strategy must have the ability to turn your customers into repeat buyers. Make sure you can spin off your product or create improvements to you original product to get them to buy again. A list of 100 buyers is probably worth more than a list of 1,000 people who have shown interest in your product but haven&#8217;t purchased it.</p>
<p> 
<p>6. You will need to have a money back guarantee. Most people won&#8217;t purchase in today&#8217;s market without one. Even though it&#8217;s true that you can&#8217;t please everyone be ready to give an unhappy customer their money back immediately. You should try to offer them something free just for trying your product. Most of them will appreciate it and may even become a customer later on. If nothing else it may create a positive instead of a negative to your business.  </p>

<p>Most affiliate marketing entrepreneurs are always looking for how to boost profits in their business online promotion internet affiliate marketing. Now, I am going to give you easy ways to boost your affiliate commission in your business online promotion internet affiliate marketing.</p>
<p><b>You’ll discover how to explode your business online promotion internet affiliate marketing and how to boost skyrocket your profits in this article.</b></p>
<p>Online Advertising Pay-Per-Click (Ppc) is one of the four basic types of Search Engines. Online Advertising Ppc is also one of the most cost-effective ways of targeted internet advertising. According to Forbes magazine, online advertising ppc, accounts to 2 billion dollars a year and is expected to increase to around 8 billion dollars by the year 2008. </p>
<p>Let’s me take a quick look at how Online Advertising Ppc Search Engines work. </p>
<p>These engines create listings and rate them based on a bid amount the website owner is willing to pay for each click from that search engine. Advertisers bid against each other to receive higher ranking for a specific keyword or phrase. </p>
<p>The highest bidder for a certain keyword or phrase will then have the site ranked as number 1 in the Online Advertising Ppc Search Engines followed by the second and third highest bidder, up to the last number that have placed a bid on the same keyword or phrase. Your ads then will appear prominently on the results pages based on the dollar amount bid you will agree to pay per click.</p>

You’ll find a dedicated online advertising ppc and great articles to help you to make profits through online advertising ppc in your business online promotion internet affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>How do you make money by using online advertising ppc into your affiliate <a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>marketing</a> business?</p>
<p>Most online affiliate marketing programs only pay when a sale is made or a lead delivered after a visitor has click through your web site. Your earnings will not always be the same as they will be dependent on the web site content and the traffic market.</p>
<p>The reason why you should incorporate online advertising ppc into your affiliate marketing program is that earnings are easier to make than in any other kind of online affiliate marketing program not using online advertising ppc. This way, you will be making profit based from the click through that your visitor will make on the advertiser’s site. Unlike some programs, you are not paid per sale or action.</p>
<p>The online advertising ppc can be very resourceful of your website. With Online Advertising Ppc Search Engines incorporated into your online affiliate marketing program, you will be able to profit from the visitor’s who are not interested in your products or services. </p>
<p>You will not only get affiliate commissions not only from those who are just searching the web and finding the products and services that they wanted but you will be able to build your website’s recognition as a valuable resource. The visitors who have found what they needed from you site are likely to come back and review what you are offering more closely. Then they will eventually come back to search the web for other products. </p>
<p>My experiences show that online advertising ppc is pretty suitable for NEW business online promotion internet affiliate marketing. You can establish your brand new web site quickly through online <a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>advertising</a> ppc. Even you have your own profitable business online promotion internet affiliate marketing, this online advertising ppc will help you move to the next level – higher profits!</p>
<p>This kind of online affiliate marketing program is also an easy way for you to generate some more additional revenues. For example, when a visitor on your web site does a search in the Online Advertising Ppc Search Engine and clicks on the advertiser bided listings, the advertisers’ account will then be deducted because of that click. With this, you will be compensated 30% to 80% of the advertisers’ bid amount.</p>
<p>The online advertising ppc is not only a source of generating easy profits; it can also help you promote your own website. Most of the online affiliate marketing programs allow the affiliate commissions received to be spent for advertising with them instantly and with no minimum earning requirement. This is one of the more effective ways to exchange your raw visitors for targeted surfers who has more tendencies to purchase your products and services. </p>
<p>What will happen if you when you integrate online advertising ppc into your online affiliate marketing program?</p>
<p>The online advertising ppc usually has ready-to-use online affiliate marketing tools that can be easily integrated into your website. The most common tools are search boxes, banners, text links and some 404-error pages. Most search engines utilize custom solutions and can provide you with a white-label online affiliate marketing program. This enables you, using only a few lines of code, to integrate remotely-hosted co-branded search engine into your website. </p>
<p>What are the key benefits? Not only more money generated but also some extra money on the side. Plus a lifetime affiliate commissions once you have referred some webmaster friends to the engine.</p>
<p>Think about it. Where can you get all these benefits while already generating some income for your site? Knowing some of the more useful tools you can use for your online affiliate marketing program is not a waste of time. They are rather a means of earning within an earning. </p>

<p>Are you familiar with the story &#8220;The Fox and The Grapes?&#8221; It&#8217;s a classic Aesop fable that goes something like this:</p>
<p>One hot summer day a fox was strolling through an orchard when he came upon a bunch of grapes just ripening on a vine high off the ground on a lofty branch. &#8220;Ahhh, just the thing I need to quench my thirst,&#8221; said the fox.</p>
<p>Stepping back a few paces, the fox ran toward the vine launching himself high into the air, just missing the bunch of grapes. Not easily deterred, he took a few steps back and again ran toward the vine, launching himself high into the air, once again missing the grapes.</p>
<p>Again and again he launched himself higher and higher into the air, coming up short each time. Exhausted and frustrated, the fox finally gave up and walked away muttering: &#8220;The grapes are probably sour anyway!&#8221;</p>
<p>The moral of the story is:</p>
<p>&#8220;It is easy to despise what you cannot get.&#8221;</p>
<p>So what does any of this have to do with internet <a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>marketing</a>?</p>
<p>Well, a couple of days ago, I received a private message at one of the small business forums that I&#8217;m a member of. The message was from another forum member chastising me for trying to help other members of the forum.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, he said internet marketing was stupid and that you can&#8217;t make any decent money doing it because he had tried several times and failed.</p>
<p>Hmmmmm&#8230;sounds a lot like our fox in the aforementioned story.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s easy to despise what you cannot do!&#8221;</p>
<p>He went on to tell me that I was giving people false hope by encouraging them with my advice. Anyway, that message got me thinking.</p>
<p>There are probably plenty of other people out there who erroneously think the same exact thing about internet marketing, because of a negative experience they had. You may even be one of those people.</p>
<p>If you are, this is my message to you and the person who sent me that private message:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.imresearch.com" target=_self>internet marketing</a> isn&#8217;t stupid. Internet marketing does work!</p>
<p>How do I know? Because I&#8217;m personally making my living online, as are several of my friends and colleagues. But it didn&#8217;t just happen by chance. It&#8217;s like anything else in life, you have to learn how to do it.</p>
<p>For example, people aren&#8217;t born knowing how to drive a car. You have to learn how to drive by getting behind the wheel and practicing.</p>
<p>Well, internet marketing is no different. You have to learn the fundamentals, and you have to practice them. Along the way you may fail a few times, but whenever you&#8217;re learning something new, you&#8217;re bound to make mistakes.</p>
<p>I failed at internet marketing many times, before that little light bulb finally came on inside of my head and I finally figured it out.</p>
<p>But I never gave up on myself and I never stopped learning. I read every marketing book, newsletter and article I could get my hands on.</p>
<p>You see, learning is the key.</p>
<p>If you want to succeed at internet marketing, you have to learn how to do it!<br /> </p>
