If you have your own list you can do very effective email campaigns using an autoresponder and Google docs. I use my Gmail contact list and Google plus list in Google.docs, emailing them in groups using the Google app for group mailing. I advertise my autoresponder, adding them to my SFI campaign where I have 11 letters that go out on a schedule.
Use splash pages, there are several available in both SFI marketing and some TCECA members make them also. These work well in free and paid safe lists. You can have a splash page that advertises every aspect of SFI through clickable banners and print. That way if they don't fill out your opt in form, they can click on the banners and text ads for an official SFI gateway.
Send periodic TC E-cards to your friends and relatives. You can send out 10 every day, and these are quite effective.
Send SFI text ads to your contact list in gmail, yahoo or whatever. Send SFI ads to your spam list in your emailer, using the reply function or even make a list of their email addresses. Again you can use Google.docs to email a group.
What is against SFI rules is purchasing a list of questionable email addresses, or scraping them off the internet using some software and sending them what could be construed as spam because you have not had any personal contact with them.
Always put an unsubscribe message on every email you send. I also put a short blurb in as to how this is not scam mail. For instance: "This is not spam, I was fortunate enough to receive an email from you. Thank you."
