Automated database mailing lists

I’m just about to take the train down south to the Lake District, to take part in a one day seminar. A working trip, I plan to use the time on the train to write plenty of articles for my next lot of newsletters.

One of the advantages of having an automated database from where I send out to my mailing list is that I can do this kind of thing in advance. This frees up my time for other things. For instance, I can’t get on the web on this particular train, so I am free from what sometimes can feel like the ‘tyranny of the internet’! But I can use the time for more creative things. If you haven’t investigated an automated mailing list yet, then check out www.1shoppingcart.com, www.constantcontact.com or www.aweber.com, all of which have been recommended.

In this world of immediate communication, this is going to become more and more important! So have a look and sign up for a free trial if they’re offered in a month when you commit to yourself to really explore that system, and make it work for you. If your database is anything over a couple of hundred, I’d say its worthwhile.
