Did you know that Americans get an average of 1.7 pieces of junk mail everyday (I know it seems like at least twice that at my house!)?

You just can’t sell people your product if they never even see your message… that’s the first big hurtle in direct marketing.

The July Issue of Answers eMagazine is finally out and available for your enjoyment (at least I hope you enjoy it!)

As you already know, this is a pretty new ezine, so it’s taken me some time to settle in to a format and a system for producing it… I think this is our best issue yet, but I hope you’ll let me know what you think of it!

This month we’ve tackled a variety of topics such as how to profit from your email list, ebook creation strategies, and even business cards for online business.  Oh, I almost forgot… Part 2 of List Building: 62 Super Strategies For Gaining Subscribers is also in this issue.

I’m already hot on the job planning out next month’s issue, so if there is something in particular you’d like to see, let me know!
