Email Examples

If you have an email newsletter then you have several options depending on whether your mailing list system can insert the email address of the recipient or not.

Inserting the email address into the affiliate link makes it much easier for your readers to subscribe to WOW -- it becomes a 'one click' operation. It is also more reliable since the email address doesn't have to be re-typed.

Not all mailing list systems can insert the email address, so we have options that will prompt the user for their email address when they click on the link.

Simple Email links

You can use these links in any email message , just choose the link that matches the charity you want to benefit and copy it into your message:

Charity	Link
UNICEF	http://woodyswatch.com/aff.asp?src=UN
Red Cross	http://woodyswatch.com/aff.asp?src=RC
World Wildlife Fund	http://woodyswatch.com/aff.asp?src=WW
Project Gutenberg	http://woodyswatch.com/aff.asp?src=PG
All the above charities	http://woodyswatch.com/aff.asp

With these links a browser window will open on the users computer and they are asked to enter their email address.

Links with subscribers email address

Mailing list systems like Lyris can put the email address of the intended recipient into the message. Lyris users can put the variable $subst('Recip.EmailAddr') into a message and it will be converted into the right email address for each outgoing message. It's a form of mail merge for ezines.

Charity	Link
UNICEF	http://woodyswatch.com/aff.asp?src=UN&add=$subst('Recip.EmailAddr')
Red Cross	http://woodyswatch.com/aff.asp?src=RC&add=$subst('Recip.EmailAddr')
World Wildlife Fund	http://woodyswatch.com/aff.asp?src=WW&add=$subst('Recip.EmailAddr')
Project Gutenberg	http://woodyswatch.com/aff.asp?src=PG&add=$subst('Recip.EmailAddr')
All the above charities	http://woodyswatch.com/aff.asp?add=$subst('Recip.EmailAddr')

With these links a small browser window will open on the users computer acknowledging their subscription to WOW.

For other list servers just replace the "$subst('Recip.EmailAddr')"part with the correct variable for that system. Note that some list servers can do address insertion but only if the address is on a line on its own. With that restriction you can't put the email address into a hyperlink. Use the 'Email Links' above instead.
