Spend a little time on the Internet and you’ll find articles, courses, and ebooks on how to be a business coach in a short time period.I can’t be the only person that finds that ridiculous. I don’t understand how someone with no business experience can be a business coach.I believe that you can learn a lot about business by reading and doing your own research- but just because you do that, it doesn’t make you qualified to teach. After all, how can you teach methods that you’ve never tried yourself?If I read a book on space shuttles that doesn’t mean I can be an astronaut.

As with other Client Side programs, Mailloop allows you to merge an unlimited number of fields into your e-mail message (for example: first name, last name, e-mail address, product purchased, date of purchase, etc). http://www.freezineweb.com/mloop.html -------------------------------------- World Merge (Client Side) -------------------------------------- This is another application that allows you to merge personalized data into form letters. Depending on your modem and the quality of your ISP connection, this program will send approximately 8,000 messages per hour. WorldMerge is excellent value - it's about a quarter the price of similar programs. http://www.freezineweb.com/worldmerge.html ------------------------------------ Postmaster (Client Side) ------------------------------------ Like other Automated Email Marketing Tools, this program allows you to create a form letter and merge personalized data into each letter. Your letters are addressed to 'Dear Michael' instead of 'Dear Customer'. Postmaster acts as a List Server, sends out follow-up Autoresponders, and manages your database of contacts. http://www.freezineweb.com/postmaster.html To sum up, in a successful web marketing strategy, your website is merely the first point of contact. You then need to: (1) build an opt-in email list of potential customers (your website visitors) (2) use automated email marketing tools that allow you to follow up with your site visitors. If you aren't building mailing lists and using automated email marketing tools you could be losing up to 90% of your potential sales.
