Your Email Partner:
The single most important aspect in your online marketing is your email. You need several Marketing Email Accounts. A common mistake online marketers make is to use their personal email accounts for marketing. Personal email services like AOL, MSN, Netscape, Earthlink, Excite, your Cable provider, your DSL internet service provider are not marketing friendly. If you own a website and have cpanel email, most hosting companies are also not marketing friendly. ISP providers offer email services to their customers for personal use only. If you read your TOS, you will usually discover they do not allow you to use their services for marketing.
A large number of the safelists in the submitter databases ban services like AOL,Earthlink, Juno, MSN, Hotmail, PeoplePc, Netscape, NetZero, Excite, cable and other ISP provided email accounts. Yahoo also is not a good choice for your safelist marketing in Submitters as many safe lists ban Yahoo as well This means you should not use those services in your safe list marketing - not even as a 'contact' email address.
Also, your web-based email services like G-mail, Yahoo, Inbox.com to name a few are not compatible with the Validation and box cleaning software. As you will be joining hundreds, or possibly thousands of safelists in the submitters, you need to use an email which is compatible with the Validation software.
Yahoo and G-Mail are great for other aspects of your marketing such as contact emails for your exchanges, safeadlists, FFA memberships and they are also great for your FFA link marketing.
Advise against using your web-host provided email as well. If you look closely at their TOS they generally do not allow you to use your email accounts for mass marketing. You can - and people do - lose your hosting accounts over this issue.
For your Safe list Submitter marketing you need two (2) seperate Commercial or POP3 email accounts. One for your subscription email, the other for your contact email. Commercial POP3 providers are equiped to handle the massive volume of emails generated in email marketing venues like Safe lists. They are also compatible with your Validation and box cleaning software, making them the best choice for your Safe list Submitter marketing.
Note that your Commercial POP3 email accounts are on a different script from your web-based services. Many web-based services offer POP3 features but remain incompatible with the Validation and box cleaning software. Also, your safe lists do not distinguish between 'free' Yahoo and the paid version with POP3 features - they have simply banned the entire domain leaving Yahoo not a good choice for your Safe list Submitter Marketing at the submitters for example.
In summary you need a minimum of:
* Two commercial or Pop3 email accounts per safe list submitter.
* Several free web-based email accounts at suppliers like Yahoo or G-mail for your safeadlists, FFA memberships, FFA link marketing and etc.
* A Yahoo account for your Yahoo Group Marketing.
