Email & Newsletter Help

I am in the process of trying EmailBrain. Looks like a fairly easy online program where you can upload mailing lists and send out custom emails. I am going to give it a try, there's 1 Month FREE!

I do experience an increase in hits after posting messages to my yahoo group but sending a custom email newsletter seems much more professional to me.

I will let you know how easy this is to use and whether or not I find it effective.

WinkFlash

Did you know that you can order postcards printed on photo stock through sites like WinkFlash for as little as .12 each? Plus sites like WinkFlash usually offer the first 50 prints free.
