Creating a List

I'm starting to become aggravated with the ability to create and maintain an email list. It looks like I'm going to finally have to breakdown and invest some money in a monthly subscription to manage newsletters and email addys. Garr, frustrating.

Here are a few email management services I'm considering:

I am leaning very heavily toward the Constant Contact, but I'm only hesitant because I'm not sure how successful my email marketing campaign will be. Only one way to find out I guess. Also, I most likely will not use AutoBot...because they retain the right to email anyone on my list....hell with that.

Lastly, I am currently building an email list via FeedBurner. They provide the opt-in code, the verification and the opt-out ability. The problem is that you obviously cannot directly mail anyone a newsletter from this application. It's not a waste of time though, because I can export my email list at anytime into csv format...for importing into the service I choose.

Constant Contact has a free no obligation 60 day trial — so if your email campaign doesn’t give you the success you need, you don’t have to worry about being locked into anything — you’ve really got nothing to lose.

Huh, I’m an idiot sometimes. I honestly didn’t even recognize the fact that they provided a free 60-day trial. That will be plenty of time for me to test them out and see if my campaign is worth it.

Thanks chrisL.
