Contact Management Specifics!

Here are some specific suggestions for Contact Management so you can start your new Database Marketing right!!!

If you want to start for free you can use your email program.  (Eg.  Yahoo, Gmail, etc.)  HOWEVER... and you'll notice this is a BIG however... ultimately this will NOT serve you for contact management and database marketing.  You can only send emails to approx. 100 contacts at a time.  That will not work for long.  (My personal DB goal right now is 10,000 contacts!!!  That would never work in a typical personal email program.)

The Email Program I use is IContact.  This allows me to send emails and newsletters to nearly unlimited contacts with the push of a button!  I can segment my lists, send auto-responders, surveys, etc.  (The truth is, I don't know if they are the best.  From what I hear, all of these email programs have their issues)... but IContact works great for me!!  AND, I can offer you a FREE trial!  So, check it out and see if you like it!  You risk nothing, and could find your new Database Marketing Program!

The other contact management program I recommend is ACT!  This is contact management software that you can buy from almost any store that sells software.  Here you can track contacts, do reports, print lablels, and set up to-do's for each contact or group.  However... this is NOT a great program for emails.  This is more for contact management and direct mailings... but I love this too.

The important thing is to start now, start today and build that database!!

HAPPY DATABASE MARKETING!!!

Database Marketing!!!

As we continue into the age of technology, I'm finding that size DOES matter!!!  The size of your database that is!!!

I just launched my new Travel Newsletter, "The Travel Times".  I have over 1000 people in my newsletter group, and so far I've gotten a ton of opens, and clicks and only 2 people unsubscribed.  I think that's GREAT for over 1000 emails going out!

It is FAR easier to sell to your current database then find new clients to market to.  So.... build your database!!  It doesn't matter if you don't even have a database!  Start TODAY.  Put one together and start loading it up with contacts.  Then offer VALUE to those contacts on a regular basis, this will keep them coming back and buying from YOU!

I look forward to seeing how much Travel Business I get from my new newsletter!

In the Beginning...

So... here's the deal.  I'm an artist by trade.  Actor and Singer to be more specific.  Long ago I decided that being a "starving artist" was not only passe, but it totally SUCKED!  So... I went into IT and became a Software Developer, and worked on Wall Street for about 7 years.  Well... guess what??!!  That pretty much sucked too!  Which brings us to about 4 years ago.

4 years ago I started the search, the search for the way to make money and live a life I love WITHOUT working in a cubicle 80 hours a week.  Found out about this thing called "Passive Income" (You know... where you get paid for NOT working.) and have been hooked ever since.

After many attempts at investing, etc, some successful, some not so freakin' successful AT ALL, I've found a few that I just love.

Ultimately, I'm on the road to Multi-Millionaire so I can continue to DO what I love, while having a LIFESTYLE I love!

That's just what my blog is gonna' chronicle.  The ups, the downs, the turns and the triumphs.  I'll take you with me and give you all the helpful tips I possibly can along the way.

Who knows??!!  Maybe you'll get richer by just reading this!

HERE WE GO!!!
