All About Mailing
Lists
Step
1 - Learn About Your Customer's Needs
Mailing lists
are kinda sorta like forums, except that you receive postings via email
instead of reading them via a web site.
There are thousands
of mailing lists, all tailored to specific interests, hobbies, business
needs and more. Generally, they are either moderated (a live human bean
must approve the postings) or unmoderated (anything goes).
Mailing lists
promote a sense of community. This is very valuable when you are learning
about your customer base or marketing your product.
Step
2 - Produce Your Own Mailing List
Producing your
own mailing list is rather easy. Some of the more popular, free software
include Lyris and Majordomo.
If you'd prefer
not to set up actual software, you can take advantage of the many list-creation
services like Egroups
or Onelist. You can also search
for mailing lists at these sites, too.
