Why Do Not Bloggers Understand E-mail Marketing?

September 2, 2008 by Tom · 3 Comments 

Blogging has become an almost essential accommodation to entrepreneur´s web sites.If you want to separate yourself from the rest of the competition, having a blog can do wonders for you. However, there seems to be a conundrum that many bloggers simply do not understand e-mail marketing.

Of course, this cannot be said about every blogger that is on the internet.There are many successful entrepreneurs that have grasped the concept of both. But it is strange that there are many who cannot completely understand how to conquer both.

What you have to understand is that both blogging and e-mail marketing are completely different.While they both can be used for promoting your business and web site, they are still completely different from one another.

First of all, blogging is much more loosely based than e-mail marketing.When talking on a blog, you can be less formal and more conversational.The great thing about a blog is that you have the ability to open up and act less business-like.You can show your true personality while at the same time listen to what other people have to say.

Blogging is the time to show that there is someone behind the name of your business.You have the ability to actually build relationships and go beyond the small business owner who is looking for a sell.

When it comes to e-mail marketing, you want to be more formal and professional.Your goal is to capture the attention of the reader immediately before they delete your e-mail.This entails you spitting out benefits and details right away.In addition, there is no listening to the prospect and wondering what they have to say.To begin with, it is all you talking and trying to grab their attention.

As you can see, these are two very different forms of connecting with the prospect.If you act too formal in a blog, you may come off as a bit conceited and just looking for the sell.If you act to conversational with e-mail marketing, you may come off as someone who cannot be trusted with business.

It is important you grasp the concept of both because they can both assist you with having success with a home business. It is obvious how someone can mix up the two and have difficulty grasping the concepts. While some bloggers understand e-mail marketing, there are several who do not understand.

Make sure you do not fall into the group of internet marketers who are missing out with these true opportunities to separate yourself from the competition.

    If you are less formal in your blog, people will like the colloquial style of writing. If you are less formal in emails, people will think you are a spamming MLM / viral scammer. Am I right?

  2. Hi Isaac, with email marketing you need to catch the readers attention fast before they delete it.The title of the email is really important, it decides if the email gets even opened.The information you send must be good and useful, sending only sales pitches or spammy emails will not get you anywhere, because people are quick to unsubscribe.Your goal is to get them back to your site over and over again.
