Please help

I have a distribution Idea. I want to send an email to a number of prospective clients with a business proposition but I don't want to be hit for spam.

I am considering using a program called linkcapture, if I buy it. (Is it a good program?)
Also, How do I protect myself from spam in a news letter?

Thank you for your help
Andrew

You are the one sending out the email and you are worried about spam? Why would you worry about spam when you are going to be harvesting emails with a program? That is you spamming them, not them spamming you.

I also do not recommend linkcapture. It appears to be one of those cheapo tools just judging by the website.

Sending email to persons who have not asked for it is classified as spam - no way around it

if you are contacting them personally with a deal they may well be interested in - not selling viagra or something - you should be ok.

Just make the emails as personal as possible.

I mean I am worried of getting hit for spamming that I am repoted to net sol or whoever takes away your website. I forget who it is.

So you don't recomment link capture?

Could you recommend one please.

There is a way around it I'm sure because People do it all ther time without getting reported.

And its an offline buiness proposision I'm not trying to sell them viagra.
Now that you mension it, I report viagra spam every time I get it but they continue sending it meaning that they are avoiding it somehow.

Thank you for your help

Reason I was going to use it was because it was recommended to me by A course from nichebot.com. But also he is probably egtting money to say that.

Thank you for your help

Which ever way you look at it collecting email addresses and then sending out unrequested emails is spam! Whether others 'get away with it' or not doesn't make it right.

A disclaimer might allow you to spam certain parts of the world, but a lot of countries that disclaimer means diddly.

Want an example, my web host will now no longer send emails to anyone on AOL, even if its something the member signed up for (like domain about to expire ..) because people forget the signed up for it and report it as spam. When reported the server gets blacklisted, not just the person sending it. Thats not spam, and you say your idea isn't either ...

I have sent targeted emails to owners of websites related to joint venture programs and have rarely been accused of spamming. If you are trying to outright sell someone something, then you can get in hot water, but to email someone out of the blue on a mutually beneficial proposition if it is clear that you and the prospect have a match is not really spamming. I have done this many times, and it has resulted in some nice business opportunities.

Typically, I do a google search on something related to what I am doing, then look at the top sites, and the top paid sites. I visit the site and get the owner's email address and name, it is on the site. If you send out email like this, then you would have to be dealing with a real jerk if he reports you for spamming.
