<p>According to CNN Facebook will be the #1 source of traffic in 2011, and I want to make sure I know what to do. I'll be participating in <a href="http://goo.gl/BFvGg" target="_blank">Black Friday Bootcamp</a> which is a 3 hour training on Facebook Traffic Domination.</p>
<ul>
<li>Sneaky Facebook Ad Tricks</li>
<li>Facebook Pages Voodoo</li>
<li>Facebook for Mobile Traffic</li>
<li>Explosive Facebook Contest</li>
<li>Facebook SEO</li>
</ul>
<p>This is a LIVE training and it’s just $7 because Ryan is giving 100% of the registration fee to Make-a-Wish. He has pledged to raise $50,000 in one day.</p>
<p>If you want to learn how to get some of that Facebook traffic to your website then join me at Black Friday Bootcamp. I'm pretty sure it will be more profitable than the mall scene!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you trying to, thinking about, or getting frustrated with setting up an email blast? Every time a client calls me to say they want help with setting up their "email blast" I cringe. You can't do this with Outlook, web mail, Mac mail etc. This is not appropriate for a distribution list or a bunch of blind CC's.<span id="more-335"></span></p>
<p>It's not really even appropriate to call it an "email blast". You might as well say to me, "I want you to to help me be an email spammer!"</p>
<p>Today I received  (synchronicity!) an email newsletter from <a title="Mail Chimp" href="http://eepurl.com/iO3-" target="_blank">Mail Chimp</a> that starts like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>So you’re the IT guy at some company, and the marketing team is bugging you to put together “an email blaster thingy” so they can send email marketing campaigns. First of all, if they actually used the word “blast” you need to immediately revoke all their internet access, and go ahead and punch them in the gut. As head of IT, you’re pretty much obligated to do that.  <a href="http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=67a904de95&amp;id=52f848174b&amp;e=366edbc1b1" target="_blank">full article</a></p></blockquote>
<p>I'm not an IT GUY and I'm certainly not going to punch anyone, but I am the "go-to gal" when it comes to internet marketing, web hosting, email and anything baffling to do with a computer or the internet.I was relieved to see I'm not being paranoid when I tell people not to send email blasts. I always recommend setting up an opt-in list and using a professional service like <a title="Mail Chimp" href="http://eepurl.com/iO3-" target="_blank">Mail Chimp</a> or <a href="http://darrylo.com/short_url/?marketing">Constant Contact</a> etc.</p>
<p>The obvious advantage to using a service like MailChimp for your "email communications" is that they are branded and look professional. The not so obvious advantage is that it helps you to be in compliance with the <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/ecommerce/bus61.shtm" target="_blank">CAN SPAM ACT</a>.</p>
<p>For instance did you know you could be sued for these 2 simple mistakes?</p>
<ul>
<li>Forgetting to include physical mailing address in the email footer</li>
<li>Failure to properly clean unsubscribers from a list</li>
</ul>
<p>Read up on the rules before you start your mailing campaign:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://darrylo.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/spamlawsuits.pdf">Spam Lawsuits PDF</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ftc.gov/spam/" target="_blank">Federal Trade Commission</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/ecommerce/bus61.shtm" target="_blank">CAN SPAM ACT</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Then sign up for a Forever Free plan at <a title="Mail Chimp" href="http://eepurl.com/iO3-" target="_blank">Mail Chimp</a> and start a meaningful communication with your clients.</p>
