Email lists are undervalued. You can get some unbelievable % responses in the Retail business. I would think a startup company that you can create a web blog from an email would be the perfect candidate for this type of marketing.
- silvia77 16y agoactually a big opportunity is to be able to take newsletter archives and turn them into blog posts. It's actually a big problem in the email world. If you are interested in this space email me chris at thestartupdigest.com
- buro9 16y agoCouldn't you just CC posterous? And for the archive, forward the mails to posterous? I may be perhaps missing a finer point on why conversion is better.
- silvia77 16y agoI actually tried that (I thought it was that simple too) but the formatting came out all strange. I sent a note to Posterous support, and they said that Posterous was not meant for email newsletter archives and I should not use it for that reason. Weird but for some reason it doesn't quite work and they seem to not be focusing on that.
- jasonlbaptiste 16y agoexplain your idea more? ie- create web blog from an email.
- johnl 16y agoAt least I find it impossible to find anything in my email archives. So maybe an app like a bicycle wheel, the emails come in, route to the hub, and get directed elsewhere. Digital magazines are getting pretty snazzy, but should end up on your desktop, not stuck in your email. Similar emails can get parsed,tagged and directed to personal blogs. Nice and organized like.
