No. I am a creative, not a developer.

Paul, you don't need to 'write email software'. There's lots of options. PHPlist, Lyris, or the new YNOT email which is very cheap. If you can't afford it, I will pay for your set up to get this test done.

Paul, you really need some kind of strategy. You don't just send the same spam email to the same list a week later.

But if you want to piss off your list, sure we can do that. I will do a wireframe and the copy for your designer.

That's because you don't 'get' what marketing is.

It's not BEING SOLD TO, it's about making a story that is easy to tell someone. It's presenting something in a way looks appealing. It's about treating your audience with professional respect.

The last thing I would ever do is take your money. I will do it for free, just to give you a clue about how a marketing professional can make you more money. What's your email address, I'll have a couple of creatives over to you by the end of the day.
