Reply:First step is to acquire emails.





Email Acquisition Method 1 - This can be done by having an email capture box on your website where visitors can enter their email to get more information about your website's product or to get a newsletter. This gets you an opt-in list meaning it is not considered spam(unless they choose to not receive emails from you anymore and you keep sending it to them)





Email Acquisition Method 2 - Add a forum to your site and make your forum popular and everytime someone registers to our forum make sure to include that you will use their data to send them useful info. This gets you an opt-in list meaning it is not considered spam(unless they choose to not receive emails from you anymore and you keep sending it to them)





Email Acquisition Method 3 - Make a contest for a prize. Every sign up for the contest gets you an opt-in email.





Email Acquisition Method 4 - Buy an Opt-in list. The problem with that is that they can be expensive and most of them are not rip offs.





Now that you got yourself an email list, sending email is the second step. How to send ot mass emails. Well, if you are going to send them from your website server you need to create an email address meant just for that.





Afterwards, you need to get yourself an email sending program so you dont have to send out every email manually. They are several mass email software for free so just look around for on and install it on your server.





Depending on who is hosting your website and the type of service you are paying for, a software may already be available for your website.





Don't SPAM because your website could get in trouble.





When you send out emails, start off with just like 10 or so a week and double the amount every week. If you sesnd out 100,000 emails in one month, your provider will ban you for spamming since its not normal for a new website to send out that many emails.





Make sure to include a link on each email to let your subscribers unsubscribe. If you dont, its called spamming.





Another way is to send out emails is just to make an email mailer with your ads or whatever and hire someone to send them out for you.





I hope this helps. I got this information from http://www.blindmonkeymedia.com who set me up with all of the necessary tools for my website to capture and send out my emails.
