Social media is for complementing other marketing it will never replace them but is a nice bonus to build your brand online to become more publicly known.

Social networking must be at its peak and probably wont stop but i dont think it will phase out the email its always been in use and will always be No. 1 for messaging in my opinion.

Are you sure? I don’t think so, I agree that social media marketing will never replace email marketing. I agree with Barry the Author

Social media will replace e-mail marketing. You will see it in couple of years…

I agree, while social networking is extremely popular right now, I find it unrealistic that it can takeover email and traditional marketing strategies.

I also think that social media has its place, but i dont think that it will replace email. I know that personally I prefer E-mail marketing. Some of these social media sites are overrun with children and young adults. Its not somewhere I would like to make business

In almost all cases, you DO want to use a double opt-in so that if you’re accused of spamming, you’ll be able to defend yourself and not get shut down. All it takes is ONE accusation and you could lose everything you’ve worked so hard for.

Yes, it is an extra step but remember that someone who takes that extra step will be a better prospect and therefore you’ll build a much higher quality list and make more sales in the long run.

I think it all comes down to purpose. In an ideal world the traffic that has come to visit our site has arrived through searching for a long tail keyword (hence they specifically know what they are looking for), reading our material, deciding they want to know more then opting in to our email newsletter. The users know they are receiving email about a topic that they are interested in and from a source that they trust (we build this trust through providing some free quality information).

I once read an article stating that many social media sites are attracting users that want to network and make friends etc. They are not necessarily there for the purpose of being interested in a specific topic that has commercial intent.

For this reason I think social media has its place but email marketing will always be the choice of the profitable internet marketer.
