How to Create a Free Business Mailing List of Local Companies

Create a local business mailing list

A business mailing list for local companies is fairly easy to build with the help of the internet. If you have a great product, but you need to reach local companies in specialized markets, here are a couple of ways to do it fairly easily.

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Let's say you found a great new plumbing adapter at a trade show, and you've never seen it back home. You'd like to market it in your local area. You just need to develop a local business mailing list of plumbing companies.

2. Step 2
   
   Contractor business mailing list

   Your first step is to go to www.123contractorquotes.com. Select the type of service industry you are looking for, and enter the zip code, and you get a list of plumbing companies in that town. If you want to look in neighboring towns, just use the zip code finder under the zip code box. Remember that related companies may be in your market too, so try HVAC, spa installers, etc. off the industry list. Just copy and paste the companies into a spreadsheet or print out a page for each town.

3. Step 3

   One drawback to that method is that you have to go town by town, and you don't get websites or phone numbers. A way to get a more complete list is to go to Google, type in the name of the business you are looking for and the zip code like this- plumbing 20151 and hit Search. This returns a list of local businesses with names, addresses, websites and phone numbers. Go to map view, and you can see where each company is located. Now you are really covering the plumbing market in the area.

4. Step 4
   

   The Google method has a couple of other advantages. It is not limited to just the zip code you entered, it will expand to find all plumbing businesses nearby. It will also find related businesses, such as suppliers, kitchen and bath contractors, and even handymen. Pretty comprehensive. In a day or so you will have a powerful business mailing list to cover as wide an area as you want.

5. Step 5

   The Google method also works with with non-service businesses. Just replace plumbing with book stores, craft shops, quilting, or pizza and you can build a business mailing list for those types of businesses also.
   
   Good luck to you, and I hope these methods help you reach a bigger market!

How to Get Off of the My Canadian Pharmacy Mailing List

Are receiving Spam emails as a part of the "My Canadian Pharmacy" fradulent ring of websites? Here are some steps you can take to not only nip these spams in the bud, but also to keep yourself from getting on spam lists in the future.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer
• Internet connection
• Time and willingness to do a little research

1. Step 1

   Understand the background of the scam.
   
   This scam preys on people who are looking to buy drugs at a discounted rate from Canadian pharmacies. Unfortunately, this scam involves a ring of fake sites that are affiliated with the #1 spam offender in the world, who has also been linked to online pornography and credit card and identity theft. All of the symbols on the site that seem to prove its legitimacy are fake. For more information, check out the SpamWiki article at: http:// spamtrackers.eu/ wiki/index.php?title=My_ Canadian_Pharmacy.

2. Step 2

   Understand how the scam operates.
   
   Essentially, these sites hijack space on servers that are owned by other, often reputable companies. These servers - computers that are constantly connected to the internet - are usually ones that have passwords that are easy to guess, allowing them to be hacked into. One of the best way to stem the spam coming to you is to find out which domain is sending the emails to you and file a spam report with SpamCop. After complaints are received, spammers lose their internet access and face consequences for breaking the "acceptable use policy" of the ISP (internet service provider). SpamCop uses your report to find out who the ISP is and to file a complaint with them.
   
   If you can find out who the ISP for the domain is yourself, you can complain to them directly to root out the problem on their servers. With your complaint, they may be able to find the machine that has been compromised, locate and remove the directory that contains the infection from the pharmacy web server, and take steps to make sure that their machines are protected from future hacks. Incidentally, if you own a domain or server or even have a computer that is always connected to the internet, you can be a victim as well - take steps to make sure that your computer is secure.

3. Step 3

   Submit a SpamCop complaint.
   
   Open your Web browser and navigate to SpamCop (http://www .spamcop.net/). Click the "Report Spam" tab and register. You will receive an email with a password. Enter your email address and password to login. Go to your email program in another browser window and open the spam email. View the source code of the email. Highlight the source code and cut and paste it into the form on the SpamCop site. Click the "Process Spam" button. Then, click "Send Spam Report(s) Now."
   
   If you receive a lot of spam, it may mean entering a lot of SpamCop reports. Be persistent and your efforts are very likely to pay off. Realize, however, that this is an ongoing battle.

4. Step 4

   Contact the registrar of the site to file a fales Whois records complaint.
   
   Whois.net is an online research service that allows you to find out who is behind a website. By entering in the url for a fake pharmacy site, you can find out who their ISP is and potentially other information such as the name and address of the people running the domain.

5. Step 5

   Send an email to webcomplaints@ ora.fda.gov.
   
   The people who run this scam are commiting not only internet crimes, but also are potentially manufacturing and shipping drugs that could be harmful. Therefore, the FDA is a good place to go to lodge complaints.

6. Step 6

   Send complaints to the organizations whose seals of approval have been fradulently placed on the fake pharmacy Web site.
   
   Often, seals of approval from organizations such as the BBB (Better Business Bureau), Pharmacy Checker, and Visa appear on the site. A few tactics that the creators of these sites use is to not make these icons clickable or for clicks to redirect to a fake site that resembles the official site. Using your browser and not the fake pharmacy site, search for these organizations and find email addresses to contact to report the misuse of their seals. A few addresses that victims of this scheme have mentioned are: verifiedbyvisa @visa.com and bbbmp@bbbmp.ca.

7. Step 7

   Change your email address.
   
   I know you probably don't want to hear this, but, once your email address has been compromised, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to effectively stop receiving spam messages. If you feel that all of the above efforts are not helping, and you are still receiving a massive amount of spam, consider changing your main email address. Update all of your contacts once you have done so and ask them to under no circumstances pass it on without your permission. Learn as much as you can about how to protect this new email adress from spammers. Also, get a second email address that you use for online registrations. You may need to change this secondary email address frequently.
   
   Another possibility is to register your email address with SpamCop. For a yearly fee of $30, you can use them to protect your email address.

How to Get Rid of E-mail Spam

Unsolicited junk e-mail, or spam, is an unwelcome and often offensive byproduct of the Internet's success. Although there's no guarantee you can avoid all spam, there are ways to avoid looking at most of it.

Instructions

Basic prevention

1. Step 1

   If you're already getting spam messages, check with your Internet service provider to see whether it has a spam-prevention option that scans your incoming e-mail for known spammers.

2. Step 2

   If you're lucky enough not to be getting spam now, then sign up for a second (free) e-mail address from a service such as Yahoo or Hotmail. Use this address exclusively for e-commerce, mailing-list subscriptions and bulletin-board postings of any kind. Reserve your main e-mail address for private e-mail to and from friends.

Rule filtering

3. Step 1

   Create an e-mail folder called Suspected Spam.

4. Step 2

   Use the filtering feature in your e-mail program to create rules that redirect spam messages to your Suspected Spam folder. Most spam is not addressed to its recipient by name.

5. Step 3

   Define a rule for incoming mail that says, "If my name appears in the To: or cc: field, then move this message to the Inbox." The procedure for defining rules varies among e-mail programs, so you should consult your program's Help feature to learn exactly how this works.

6. Step 4

   Define individual rules to catch e-mail that isn't addressed to you personally but that you nevertheless want to receive, such as messages from lists you've subscribed to. Have these rules redirect the relevant messages to the Inbox or to special folders that you have created for mail from those sources--for instance: "If the Sender field includes 'MyList,' then send this message to the MyList folder."

7. Step 5

   Define a final rule that sends all other e-mail that hasn't already been redirected by one of your other rules to the Suspected Spam box. For instance, a rule that says, "If the Sender field isn't 'XYXYXYXYY,' then move this message to the Suspected Spam folder" would work as a catchall.

Tips & Warnings

• Never reply to a spam message, even to request that your name be removed from the list. That just tells the spammers that your address is valid.

How to Create a Mailing List for Blogger

Adding a mailing list to your Blogger-hosted blog can increase the number of readers of your Blogger entries. Get a mailing list for your Blogger so that readers are kept informed of your weblog and its new entries.

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Sign up for a gmail account on Google.

2. Step 2

   Visit Google Groups while still signed into your Gmail account. Click "Create a Group."

3. Step 3

   Name your group, create a group email address, type a 300 words or less group description, indicate whether your group will have adult content and choose a public, announcement-only or restricted access level.

4. Step 4

   Type in the email addresses of people you want to invite to the mailing list. Include a message that explains the mailing list's purpose. Write down the group's Web address for your records.

5. Step 5

   Log in to your Blogger account. Click on "Dashboard," "Settings" and the "Email" tab. Locate the "BlogSend Address" field and enter your Google group's email address.

6. Step 6

   Add a way for other fans of your blog to subscribe to the mailing list. Revisit your Google group's homepage and click on "Tune Your Group's Settings." Select "Get a Promotion Box for Your Website" and find the "Subscribe Box for Your Web Page" HTML code; right-click your mouse and copy it.

7. Step 7

   Go to your Blogger's "Dashboard" page, select "Layout," "Add a Page Element" and "HTML/Javascript." Paste the HTML code into the field and select "Save Changes." Check your blog to see that the subscriber box shows on the page.

Tips & Warnings

• Change your email address on Blogger to reflect your new Gmail address. Doing so can streamline handling your blog and its corresponding mailing list.
• If you want to have control over when your blog is emailed through the mailing list, simply send the email from your Gmail account.
• Test the subscriber box by entering an extra email address you have to see if it adds itself to the mailing list.
• You can directly add email addresses directly to a Google group, but it's nice to give your invitees a choice by sending them an invitation.

How to Stop Direct Mail Advertising

You go to the mailbox, eagerly anticipating a letter from Aunt Martha and instead you find the box stuffed with junk mail. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), each of us gets about 40 lbs. of unsolicited mail a year. Forty-four percent of that mail goes unopened; only 2 percent ever gets a response. Fortunately, there are a number of steps you can take to reduce the amount of unwanted mail you get.

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Register with the Mail Preference Service of the Direct Marketing Association (see link in Resources). It is the largest supplier of mailing lists for commercial advertisers. This removes your name from the association's mailing lists.

2. Step 2

   Call (888) 567-8688 to stop unsolicited credit card offers. Consumer credit reporting agencies, like Experian and Equifax, have mailing lists often used by credit card companies to send out direct mail. Calling this number will remove your name from these lists.

3. Step 3

   Send an e-mail to Abacus, Inc. at optout@abacus-us.com to stop catalogs from coming to your home. Write or e-mail the specific company if you want to stop an individual catalog from being mailed to you.

4. Step 4

   Request a privacy designation on your name every time you order something over the phone, over the Internet, through the mail, whenever you subscribe to a magazine or become a member of a group. Request the same designation when you deal with banks, mortgage companies, insurance agencies, phone or cable companies, frequent flier programs and mail order companies you do business with.

5. Step 5

   Do not send in product warranty cards. These cards are often filled with questions about personal preferences and are used for mailing lists. Keep the receipt and a product will remain under warranty for the designated time.

6. Step 6

   Complete the U.S. Post Office form 1500 to stop offensive, sexually orientated mail.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't want to go online to the Direct Marketing Association, ask to remove your name from its lists by sending a written request to: Mail Preference Service Direct Marketing Association P.O. Box 643 Carmel, NY 10512
• Writing "Return to Sender" or "Refused" on junk mail and putting it back in your mail box is futile. The post office does not forward junk mail; it discards it.
