Whatever home based business you own, it is essential to have ongoing promotional activity. Email Promotion should be an important part of the mix. Here are some reasons why:

(a) It’s very low cost
(b) It’s instant, allowing your audience to have real time updates of whatever you wish to communicate.
(c) Good response – generally if there is a link to further information in an email then the recipient will at least open the link.
(d) Email is personal, which means for a targeted campaign, very good response rates can be achieved.
(e) Its scalable. Doesn’t matter if you have 50 or 5,000 emails to send out the effort (and cost) is the same.

Here is the whole story:

About a year ago I went looking for my next online project. I was looking for a web based income stream with the following characteristics:

• Had the potential to generate a significant income
• It had the ability to build a very big site.
• It would allow me to generate lots of good quality back-links
• Would build back-links to itself
• Was content based (Google clearly favours content)
