Unfortunately, in today's social media-centric world, people are more concerned with building a Twitter list than a marketing-focused email list. We're all about short, easily digestible messages (like this entire email), but, OMG!, 140-characters of teeny bopper shorthand does little to project your professionalism onto anyone. That's why we swear by email marketing. If done right, it's clean, it's professional, it's reliable, it gets results. And all that starts with a good email marketing list. So get off your Tweet Deck and take a look at the Top 10 ways you can build a revenue-generating email marketing list.

In the four years that Traction's called Warehouse127 home, it still makes us blush when people walk through the garage door and tell us how cool of an office space we have. Same thing goes for people who stumble across us on the internet and let the world know they dig our digs . The latest case happened just this last week. Not only did they call us a "futuristic bomb shelter", they put us in the company of the Googles, Twitters and Facebooks of the world. Not a bad corner to be boxed into.

At Traction, we love the summertime. Rays of sunshine burst into the warehouse, tornadoes go into hybernation, and good help comes cheap. Warehouse127, you see, is situated directly in the migratory path of a rare species of seasonal employee called Summertimus Internus, commonly known as the Summer Intern, and we just landed our first of the season. Her name's Lisa Watkins and she's an intern of the Account Service variety, indigenous to the north country of Stillwater. Zoology lessons aside, feel free to shoot her an email, just like you would a real 8-to-5 human being, and welcome her aboard.
