Email Statistics:
1. Jupiter Communications reports that email marketing will become a $7.3 billion business by 2005
2. Over 50% of consumers will be communicating via email by 2001 according to Forrester Research. eMarketer reports that by year-end 2001, there will be 111 million email users.

Obviously with startling statics like this - email should be a major part of your online and off line marketing strategies.

Using Email

The power of email marketing is truly the "killer app" of the Internet. It is totally revolutionzing direct marketing.

Just by sending out a simple email - you have the power to create cash on demand. Imagine, anytime you need money, you just hit SEND!

The Truth About "Opt-in" and "Permission" Email Marketing

If you've been on the Net for anytime, I'm sure you've heard of spam. That's the name for unsolicited commercial email. Mostly the kind of "get rich quick" and "send me a dollar" pyramid schemes that find their way into your inbox. Many short-term minded marketers feel that since email is practically free they can send out thousands and thousands of emails hoping for a handful of sales while dealing with the risks involved. I don't think that's a good idea.

You see, there is a big difference between permission email marketing and spamming. I'm not talking about using software that can harvest emails addresses from the Web or even those CD-roms with "10 million email addresses" floating around. The fact is, without getting permission you are just sending out spam and that will land you in some big trouble. I've seen sites shutdown, ISP's canceled and people basically being "blackballed" from the Internet community. Trust me, it's not pretty.

In fact, there is new legislation pending that will make spamming illegal. So not only will you have all kinds of angry prospects - but you could also end up with sever penalties against you.

Why would you want to put yourself through any of that?

There's no point because getting permission is easy once you start using the strategies I'll tell you about in a moment, plus it produces better results.

Description:
Since the advent of the Internet, email has emerged as an important new form of personal communication. The focus of this research is on commercial advertising through the email channel. We analyze the underlying economics of a business model termed admediation that facilitates effective first-contact email advertising. Admediary is a trusted third party that facilitates a mutually desirable communication between buyers and sellers via email, and operates under the 'opt-in' mode widely supported by the consumer advocacy groups. Our analytical model examines the incentive structures for all participating entities, and derives pricing strategies, profit implications and characteristics of the email lists. We develop and model a form of price discrimination we term sequential elimination price discrimination that can be practiced via email. Our results indicate that the transactions facilitated by the admediary can create significant value whereby every participating entity realizes increased benefits. These findings underscore the potential of admediation to restore email as an effective communication media for online advertising. ... Read more

Review of the Review
This is an article from a February 2005 magazine which reviewed "Qurb" software.It appears that you might be purchasing the software, but it is only a 960 word copy of the 2-1/2 year old article.This has absolutely no value.If you are interested in Qurb, as I was, and you find any site selling it, you will get all this information including the features which have been added in the 2-1/2 years since this was written. I was totally discouraged that Amazon would "Sell" a reprint of an old magazine article. If you want to give away six bucks, put it in the the plate at chuch next week.You'll feel good about it.Buying this will only make you feel bad that a good company would list and sell anything so totally devoid of value. ...

Superficial and a bit outdated
At the end of 2008, be aware that this book is a bit outdated in his content.

Great computer book helps the average user get after threats to their computer!
Bug-Free Computing, by Ken Dwight, who calls himself "The Virus Doctor," is a book that could be very important to business people who depend on their computers to make a living and worry about a virus or other malevolent software designed to attack a computer and bring it down.

If this concerns you, but you have no real idea how to deal with it, Dwight's book is a solid primer designed for the average computer user. You don't have to be a geek to understand it, it's written in plain English, with a minimum of technical jargon. For example, in a chapter devoted to data backups, readers will be delighted to find information specifically tailored to the average user - what to back up, when, how, what media to use, what programs to use, etc.

Viruses are a primary focus of the book; most computer users are aware of viruses and their potential to do harm, but what many users don't understand, even technicians, is that viruses have changed greatly in the past few years in terms of virus behavior and distribution, so it's extremely important to keep up with and be aware of these differences.

Bug-Free Computing also discusses spyware, browser hijackers, keyloggers, spam, hoaxes, urban legends and other possible computer problems. You don't have to read the book cover-to-cover to get the help you need. The reader can take a look at the table of contents to discern the chapter that covers their most pressing concerns, and quickly flip to that chapter.

In addition, the text includes hyperlinks to various web sites and articles referenced in the book. If the reader desires more information than what is presented in Dwight's book, the links will provide more detail and even direct the reader to vendors of products mentioned in the book. Also, the information contained in the appendices is extremely helpful; the most useful is the ability to keep the information up-to-date from the Book Registration web site.

While the subject of programs that can damage your computer is a serious one, Dwight offers a light-hearted detour in the form of a section on hoaxes and urban legends. This section is good for a few chuckles before returning to the grim realities of dealing with computer problems.

Dwight's style is easy and disarming, making for a pleasant read, even for technophobes. For example, in the chapter on spam, he shows users how to read message headers and footers to find clues to the real identity of the sender and how to use filters to cut down on your spam email. He also explains that it's not a good idea to click on the "Remove Me" link that is included in some spam emails; that action could possibly increase your email rather than decrease it.

Ken Dwight's book is chock-full of common-sense pointers, making it an excellent choice for those who want to protect their computers without hiring expensive consultants.

Not very technical, great for the person who wants to understand the problem and what to do

If your computer is on and you are connected to the Internet then sooner or later it will become infected.These days you don't have to open attachments, download a file, or even surf the web to become infected; just being connected can make you a target.In his book Bug-Free Computing, Ken Dwight educates the reader about the history of the many threats to safe computing and what you can do to make your computer experience as safe as possible.Some of the information will be surprising to most people including the fact that most infections occur on a system that has anti-virus software installed.To keep bug-free he discusses anti-virus software, using a firewall, spam filtering, and a host of other techniques to increase your safety.And, of course he includes a section on what to do if you are already infected.Written in a very easy to understand style, Bug-Free Computing is highly recommended to the everyday user who wants to understand the computing environment and how to work on their computer without stressing about infections.

Lucid explanation of PC bugs and solutions
Mr. Dwight draws on his 40 years of computer experience to present a lucid explanation of the inner workings of PC programs and how they are affected by viruses and other malicious programming.His technical explanations are easy to follow and understand, even for the novice PC user.His book has clear screen-shots of typical Windows options, and he carefully explains why and how to optimize Windows for maximum operating efficiency and security.His book is essential reading for anyone who has a PC connected to the Internet.I am an accomplished user, but I am not an expert, and I found his many hints and suggested settings to be excellent methods of improving my PC's protection.I purchased several copies to give to family and friends because I found his advice invaluable.

Something everyone needs to know about our computers
This is a great book for anyone who has a computer.The book is arranged well, starting with an overview of computer viruses and how they originate, pass from machine to machine and work.It gives a brief insight as to the type of person who creates this havoc.

Most importantly, it gives us the information that we need to minimize our exposure to computer viruses and what to do if/when we get infected.I will definitely keep my virus and firewall protection up to date. ... Read more
