I Was Won Over by the Z-List

I’ll admit, I’ve been won over by the Z-List started by Viral Garden. I saw a couple posts about it, but didn’t pay much attention. Then, I started finding some new blogs I had not read before in this list – there are some great blogs listed in here! So, I’ve added about 10 new blogs to my daily read list and felt – because of that – I had to jump in and participate. Hopefully, a few of my readers will find some good reads in here as well.

If you want to get involved, simply cut and paste the list into a post on your blog. That’s pretty easy and a great way to find out about some new blogs.

Valuable Small Business Email Marketing Information

John Jantsch at Duct Tap Marketing Blog has a post talking about an Email Marketing service called MailChimp that he likes. He also has a link to a free guide being offered by the service that includes tips and tricks to getting your emails read and acted on more often. John has a great, long-standing blog that I make a daily read so I trust his judgement.

I downloaded and have started to read the 50-page guidebook. I can tell already that its a great resource for small businesses who would like some information to improve email marketing delivery.

Interestingly enough, you can download the guide without registering to receive it. Possibly a great lead generation opportunity missed for MailChimp?
