I hope none of my readers are spammers. The blatent disrespecet for others is uncalled for.I realize some peope are not sending SPAM on purpose, but it is coming from every direction, not just email.

This is where all of us can help. Educate the people spamming you in the communities you are a member in about the propper ways of advertising.I have started a forum thread in Adland Pro, a community I have been involved with for a long time because the spam rate was increasing quite rapidly in the forums there. Realizing this is an advertising community for marketers I know everyone wants to send ads to everyone about their latest and greatest find, but man! Don’t they know they are sending to people that are not in the market for buying……. they all want to sell their products! The ads just fly back and forth with no one actually looking at them.

There are some very informative and interesting forums a Adland Pro and I don’t want the very part of the community that has held me there for so long burried in SPAM. The whole internet for that matter!

I believe the internet marketing community can control the spam problem it self, with a little help rom each of us.

Education for new marketers, so they know how to weed out the spamming opportunities and pros that are just looking for the next new marketer to brainwash into spamming for them will be a start. The spamming pros will dwindle once they have no new help.

Your comments and ideas are needed both here at Here Is Yours and in my Adland Pro Forum

It amazes me on how many people just "don't get it" when it
comes to following up with potential customers.

Did you know that it can take up to 7 times contacting
someone before they purchase a product - it's true!  But
again, there are a growing number of people out there that
are trying to make sales without doing something as simple
as setting their marketing on auto-pilot.

Thankfully there's an online service that provides anyone
with the kind of marketing system they need that can almost
guarantee success. And one that I can whole-heartedly
recommend!

GetResponse.com is one of the most recognized follow-up
systems on the Internet; and there's good reason.

GetResponse.com uses some of the fastest and most reliable
email servers available.  This, combined with more
specialized features that any other autoresponder, is it any
wonder everyone raves about it?

But... despite how good GetResponse.com is, it just got
better! That's right, the new GetResponse has
just been launched and it has an incredible number of
powerfully new features.

Just take a look at what you get with GetResponse!

- Personalization of emails
- Unlimited follow-ups
- Complete import and export features
- Send a broadcast email to your entire list all in one shot
- Attach files to any or all of your autoresponses
- Track your leads and responses
- Your choice of 19 different domains names to send from
- Send HTML-enhanced messages
- Your own "confirmation" screen
- Selective broadcasting
- Block unwanted email addresses
- Bounce-back management
- Full activity reports via email
- Free, unlimited technical support
- much, much more!

As you can see, this is way more than your everyday run-of-
the-mill autoresponder systems - using any other just
doesn't make good business sense!

So what are you waiting for?  You owe it to yourself and
your online business to at least take a look at what
GetResponse.com can do for you.

Hype and Spam,  a never ending commodityInternet Marketings Biggest Problem?

Well …….. Vermonters Don’t Like it I tell ya!

If you have been working on your Internet Marketing career, you sure know the definition of these to words!

Has CAN-SPAM helped at all? Not in at least some of my mailboxes! But. I am a marketer so I put up with it.

Should I have to? No! I don’t send trash like that out to anyone! I believe you should get what you give so lets get together and send all the Spam back to the spammers! I don’t mind getting decent ads from people. But all this bull s**t scam, easy money trickery, SPAM has got to go!

The problem is every time someone makes a law to try and control SPAM it will hurt the honest guy that has trouble getting his email out to a few hundred of his hard earned list.

MY OPINION

As marketers we must police ourselves. Only YOU can stop the spread of Hype and Spam!
