Thanks for your note -- no hooks here, just wanting people to learn the ins and outs of email marketing to improve their business bottom line, and pick up other helpful marketing pointers along the way.

I'm curious to see what kinds of answers you'll get in the Forum to your domain question. My two-cents: I wouldn't dilute your domain and add the extra work and expense of maintaining multiple websites (and maybe have to include multiple languages too) before there's real local revenue.

I think by now everyone gets the global reach of the internet, but on the other hand, if you do a lot of business on the ground in the locations you mention, maybe it would be worth the extra work? My bottom line would be that I'd want to see the local demand (and revenue) before I built sites, hoping the local business would follow.

Cheers, --Chris.
