As a loyal fan of Internet related business, I was expecting from this book too much. And once again, I was put back on the ground by the strict order of the book and its complete worldliness. Moreover, it looks rather Spartan. However, the book is by no means simple. On the contrary, compared to other web-based businesses e-mail marketing seems a more difficult area to succeed.
I’d rather say that the target audience/customers of this issue are people, who have already had their web-based business and long to start another one. And in this respect, the book is very good! Usually, businessmen think they know everything about their trade, especially if they prosper. But when they want to expand the business, they face many problems. And one of the ways to solve them is to read the book.
Nicely structured, not a guide but a real encyclopedia of e-mail marketing with wonderful case studies, history retrospective and loads of useful links.
Definitely, this book is written by a professional and information here is not “phishing”!

This is one of the best resource books for internet business I’ve found. Brown has created a book with a wealth of information for the small online business owner. Not only has he included tips, ideas, and resources; but, he also lists the advantages, disadvantages, and features of each of the programs and resources he suggests. He doesn’t stop at email marketing either. Brown includes helpful suggestions on many other aspects of doing business online, especially Search Engine Optimization.
Another excellent feature of The Complete Guide to Email Marketing is the included case studies. There are a ton of ideas and information by other business pros included throughout the book. Everything you need for your business email campaign is in here. Information on spamming laws, creating effective email content, targeting the right audience, when to send emails, and creating email lists are just a few of the subjects presented in this book. I highly recommend this book for those just getting started as well as for those looking to boost their email campaigns effectiveness.

The Complete Guide to Email Marketing
by Bruce Brown
I liked this book. It is available for just about anyone. Whether you are an online merchant or a traditional retailer. There is something there for you.
We are given an in depth history of the internet. I never knew it was first used by the military. Then there are when the first emails were sent. Totally mind boggling.
Bruce gives us the low down on four major areas of online marketing:
Paid search advertisements (pay per click)
Banner adverts
Classified ads
Email marketing
Interweaved within all this are case studies that show how the best systems work. Chapter 15 is jam packed with them too.
The author, Bruce Brown teaches how to write an effective email. He starts with the subject line then gets around to the best day to send it. We all know why Mondays are not a good day and most of us can figure out why Fridays are not another good day.
Wait till you find out which is the best day and why. The best time for sending emails are 7am-10:30am. We also get a free treat. That is website optimization tools and some web design helps. The addresses are all in his book.
As usual Bruce gives us a glossary. But because this book is such an easy read you won’t need it. I think it is there just in case.

With the passing of the CAN-SPAM Act in 2003, it has grown more difficult to legitimately market through email. This book addresses this issue and many others with regard to email marketing. Mr. Brown provides a comprehensive guide to marketing your business or product through email, while navigating spam filters. This book is written for legitimate businesses with legitimate products and services to sell.
Mr. Brown describes how to grow your business through your website. Additional topics covered include how to write an effective sales email, search engine optimization (SEO), and to effectively target your emails. The book includes a glossary of terms and numerous case studies.

Most books that promise to be the only manual you need to succeed, do one of two things; either deliver the goods or not. Brown’s Email Marketing Guide delivers and more. While some authors make a point of burying valid information towards the back of the book, Brown makes a point of introducing the material in an orderly and logical manner. Brown has put together one of the most thorough and complete books on the vast subject of email marketing. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and business associates.
