Some may contain specific ideas for highlighted field, but all will have the kind of tips that apply to any business. Along those lines, I really like Gideon's analogy above about each company having a chef. Likewise, each small business has a marketing department, support staff, accounting, etc. even though in some cases they may all be one person! Email marketing can help you save time and communicate better for each of those departments.

Many people who use autoresponders are 'internet gurus/marketeers/ebook-sellers' - and they do a great job of making the website and responder sequence all about them, their discovery and their offer. But the rest of us, who might be selling a product or B2B service often tend to hide behind the product. Every company should have a chef... and the more character and interest they can have - and add to the sequence - the more engagement I feel you'll get from your readers. At Wilkinet our 'chef' is obviously Sally (designer or the baby carrier we sell). Even though she's now retired (25 years since business was set up) - we're still putting together a sequence of emails that will be very much about her opinions, values, experiences... and how they fed into the creation of the most comfortable baby carrier on the market (do I hear the sound of someone blowing their own trumpet??)

I"m in the process of looking at restaurants to purchase, and I currently use aweber to promote my food/chef oriented blog and podcasts.. Your commentary is right on, there is no more central person in a restaurant than the chef...When I walk into the dining room, there is no better marketing and promotion, but time is always tight, and promoting with aweber on my future site will definitely happen!!

I love your idea of presenting the chefs and their ideas and their recipes. However my question today is more technical, I would like to create a form for my e-letter. And to tell you the truth I have no idea how to even start, and every time I try to do it in Word or even the Illustrator, it comes out, well... sort of shifted and disorganized. Unfortunately I do not have the resources right now to hire professional help (even though that is in my plans for the near future), so I was wondering if you might have an advise for me.
