How do you make money online?

This applies to any type of business.

Okay so you create a website. Nope, not rich yet...
Then you remember to tell people about your website! Okay, maybe some money coming in but not too much...
You start to become more 'net savvy, so you use any methods you can to link to your site and tell people about your products. Now things are starting to go the way you wanted them to from the start...

The only problem is only people that were looking for your site or your type of product will ever visit your site and buy anything. You need some way to let people know (without spamming them!) that your business exists.

One of the very best tools I've come across is Atomic Email extractor, I like it so much that I've put a permanent link to it from the blog site. In fact if you bought it from this link I would get a commission - but that has not swayed my opinion otherwise I'd be the type of person that recommends absolutely everything (I don't!). If you like it but don't want me to get a commission then workaround it.

What is it? It's an email extractor. It checks websites for email addresses, but not only that it will then test if the addresses are real or not - without sending any sort of email.

Why do I need it? You could go to any website and trawl through pages and pages looking for email addresses for people to contact, this is a huge time-saver. It will also check for duplicate email addresses.

Is it not spam to just email someone using the addresses this tool finds? No. Not only is it not spam - assuming you are sending a genuine email - but it has an opt-out feature too. So if they don't want further emails from you then then don't have to receive them.

How would it benefit me? Let's say you own an office cleaning business. You could waste hours going through the phone book, door to door or checking websites for companies in your area that you could promote your services to. With Atomic Email extractor you target what you want (business with office in your area) and get it to check the websites for email addresses (that work) and contact names. This is a much quicker way to find businesses to target. You can now start an email marketing campaign.

I think this tool is great. I hope it helps you too :) For the full explanation of how it works and what it can do check it out for yourself Atomic Email extractor.
