I will now tell you one of the secrets to getting rich online: You've got to have a newsletter. I don't care what kind of business or website you have, a newsletter will make it exponentially more profitable. Even if you have a simple one page site, a newsletter can make money for you.

The people who subscribe to your newsletters are golden because 1) They like what you have to offer, 2) they are willing to give up some personal information to get it, and 3) they will buy anything you throw at them at an alarmingly high rate. Your subscribers are to be cherished and you must be careful never to abuse them.

You can write about anything you want - chances are there is an audience for anything you can think up. The trick is to write about something that will make money for you. Nobody wants to read about your cat. Nobody cares about your kids. Nobody cares about your life, your home, your family, none of it. They care about their lives and they want information that will help them improve their situation. If you can give them that information, you could make a lot of money. A lot.

Although you could conceivably collect and maintain your email subscribers' information yourself, it is much better to use an email list company. This is because your email list, no matter how well you maintain it and no matter how many safeguards you put in place, will always generate spam complaints. Basically, people are stupid so get used to that. Anyway, if you use a reputable mailing list company, you can easily demonstrate that your newsletter isn't spam and you can let your list company deal with those issues. There are countless email newsletter companies but the one I use and strongly recommend is iContact. Their system is incredibly easy to use and their support is awesome. Their packages start at about $10 a month and it is worth every penny.

Oh, hey, as long as you are reading about making money with email, you should sign up for my list. I send out killer money making tips 2 or 3 times a week (sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less).
