When I bought E-mail Marketing for Dummies, I was totally clueless about how to launch an e-mail campaign. Fortunately, John Arnold does a very good job of demystifying the entire process of e-mail marketing. Arnold communicates in very simple terms and uses jargon sparingly but strategically. In addition, Arnold breaks the e-mail marketing process down into small, step-by-step pieces, all of which are easy to grasp.

Arnold also discusses how your e-mail marketing strategy should be integrated with your overall marketing strategy, so that your brand's value in the eyes of your contact are not compromised. Hence, Arnold demonstrates that the principles of marketing apply just as much online as they do offline.

By the time I finished reading E-mail Marketing for Dummies, I was talking like a pro, and had a million ideas of how I would conduct my first e-mail campaign, and was very confident I could make it a great success.

I highly recommend E-mail Marketing for Dummies if you need to become an e-mail marketing expert in a hurry.

This was the first book I read on this subject since I am preparing to launch a web-based lead generation business this year using my OrganicLawnCare.Com domain name. The book gives pretty good detail into how to use emails to generate traffic to your website. It also goes into detail on ways to build an email list that you would use to send your emails. It was definitely a good primer on the subject.

I also have the Web Marketing All-In-One for Dummies which is HUGE and looks like it will cover just about every aspect of how to start and market a web-based business. I would probably recommend that you get that book since it appears to cover just about anything you could think of regarding marketing your web-based business. I would say that E-Mail Marketing for Dummies is pretty much included within this monster! Otherwise, if you're just interested in e-mail marketing, save yourself some space on your bookshelf and just get this book.

Now on to more reading...cheers!

I was looking for a How To guide on creating/formatting, etc. emails in Constant Contact. This guide is promoting the idea of email marketing and strategies. I'm already using email marketing. I did not need to be sold on the idea. I need tips, tricks, tutorial on how to actual create, edit, etc. in Constant Contact.

I thought the book was informative, practical, and concise. It had many good features, but its best feature is its ability to explain how to create an email campaign based on your business' objectives and get great results. I thought John Arnold did a great job in writing this book.

I'm new to this form of marketing and it gave me not only a great introduction to this form of marketing, but also provides examples to go by. This book gives you the outline, the rest is up to your imagination and creativity.

John Arnold always delivers hands on, practical advice for the small biz owner - this book is excellent, just as expected!

If you are a fan of the Dummy books like I am you will not be disappointed with this one.

*great facts and details
*also get theory which is critical to reapply to your situation

I love that they sometimes give you to much information and over simplify things. This makes it even easier to learn becasue everything may not be new.
