If you own a business you need to be conducting email marketing.  One thing to consider in this method of advertising your services and products is your audience’s permission in receiving your emails. If you send unwanted mails, known as spam, then your business will be put in danger or will not have a good image. You will drive your target customers away.

How to avoid it?

It’s just easy to avoid it. All you have to do is to make sure that your email records are composed of people who opted in.  Opt-in emails are often referred to as permission email marketing because you have to ask people’s permissions to email them. To define it further, it is a marketing that means sending your advertisements to those who only ask for it.

Single opt-in emails

This means that your target audiences have provided you their email addresses and their approval to send them your newsletter, offers, etc. One advantage is an easier sign up for customers. But the disadvantage… your customer hasnt had time to think about it, and this could mean without a double opt in they are not qualified and they really have no interest in your site apart from whatever freebie you give away to encourage them to sign up.

Confirmed opt-in email

Same as the above but including a confirmation from the subscriber.

1. Your target audiences visit your site and give their name and other information needed to be included in your opt in list.

2. Then an email will be sent to them asking their confirmation of joining. (Generally a click on link within the email)

3. Once they have clicked on the link, their email addresses will be added to your list.

The advantage of a double opt in is a responsive list that have confirmed that they definitely want to sign up to your site.

To RESIGN is to start over… we have worked towards that opportunity and have achieved it!

We had a goal which at the time felt more like a dream. That goal was to replace our joint incomes using wealth creation strategies within a given timeframe.

WE HAVE DONE IT!

Both of us have handed in that magical piece of paper which represents our freedom, aspirations and achievements. We are both over the moon. Its scary, its the unknown, but it is also exciting and amazingly fulfilling!

We set a goal only 6 months ago, and that goal was to replace our income’s. We had to ensure we can cover the mortgages from our current property portfolio, and ensure we have enough money to live on. We had to ensure we can be financially independent for us, and for our business.

To share in our massive sense of accomplishment we currently feel, and also to ensure we can share a sense of responsibility, we would like to share some of our future goals with you.

• Replace our income from our current jobs in six months - ACHIEVED!
• Financial security by September 2009 - On Track
• Financial independence by March 2010
• Financial freedom by March 2012
• Absolute financial freedom by March 2015

We have replaced our financial shackles and time restraining day jobs within 6 months. This is no mean feat and feel this is largely due to Shaun Stenning and his team. Shaun Stenning is an awe inspiring mentor who we look up to with thanks and leadership.

The biggest message Shaun has given us is to ensure we grab those opportunities that come your way, however small, big or obscure. They may seem like they are not on what you think your chosen path is, but it will transpire in a short amount of time that they will either be something to action, chase or run away from. Weigh up your current priorities and goals and you will know what you should do.

Both of us have a goal, which is to reach the pinnacle of our dream and live our ultimate lifestyle which we both seek, desire and deserve. We want to ensure that we teach, coach and inspire along the way or none of it would have been worth it.

The biggest lesson we have learnt in our 6 month rollercoaster ride we have been engaging in, which has also determined our current success, would probably be.

If you seen an opportunity, Take Action.

Do not let life slip you by… Take control of your destiny. Its not just a saying, YOU CAN DO IT!

Thanks to everyone in the last six months who have made this possible, we will always remember the mentorship and pay it forward where possible.
