Don’t Be A Spammer

Sometimes by oversight, you might end up spamming your lists. A few complaints and he checks himself. But what happens if your ISP brands you a spammer? They act first and then investigate. They present you with a hefty penalty and ruin your reputation.

How Can You Avoid Spamming Your Lists?

 First, understand what spam is. Simply put, when someone does not ask to receive communication from you, you simply must not email him or her. If you go ahead and email them anyway, that means you are spamming them. Make the effort to build your own opt in and double opt in lists. Even if it is time consuming, it is safer in the long run. Don’t buy them from a spammer, however cheap or tempting.

When you choose your partners for joint ventures, etc., make sure that you work only with those who have a firm stand on anti-spam. Even if there is one spam complaint from one of your recipients, it can close your entire business and cost you heavily. Why waste all the hard work and effort you have put in by sending a message to someone who didn’t ask for it? Take care to see that your email messages conform to the CAN-SPAM law. Constantly update your lists. You must maintain a record of all your subscribers. Keep strict track of those who unsubscribe from your list for whatever reason. Use your autoresponder to keep track of when the visitor signs in along with their IP address.

Avoid Opt-In List Providers

 Another segment to avoid is opt-in list providers. They sell you lists of relevant emails collected for you from others. You can’t be too sure about the genuineness of these lists, as there are different types of providers of varying quality. What you can do to minimize the risk is hire someone who will build an exclusive list for you, compulsorily having double opt-ins. The last thing you want is to be stuck with a list belonging to someone and be accused of spamming.

There are times when you cannot avoid using a subscriber service. What you definitely can do though is to make sure their practices are ethical. These subscriber services put an ad for various opt in offers. The visitor has the choice of selecting the ones they would like to sign up for. After that, they directly sign up on your list. See the anti spam policy of these services. Don’t even look at free for all sites. Nothing comes free in life.

Provide Quality Content

Make sure you write informative and good quality content when you message your contacts. There are certain words classified as spam filter triggers that can activate your customers’ spam filters and block you. You will never be able to reach them after that. So be aware of what these words are and compose your message accordingly. Include an anti spam clause in your agreement

Don’t say, “this is not spam” in your messages. Replace it with something like “this message is being sent to you because you because you, or someone using your contact information, subscribed.” Also add that your subscribers have the option of opting out of your list in every message that you sent. Don’t ever use email addresses from online groups or communities without their permission.

And finally do not plug your promotional material to newsgroups and mailing lists, unless they give you their express permission. You will recall all that you read in the ‘Forums’ section in Day 3 of these lessons It is hard work to build your lists. Do itthe legitimate way. Follow the rules and be successful!

Keeping A Clean List

We have a good head start on how to build lists. We know the risks of spamming – and we know how to avoid it. We will now consider a crucial aspect of list building – keeping a clean list. What do we mean by clean lists? Just that we don’t retain inactive email ids and weed out the ones that are not likely to yield the result we expect. Only keep those email ids that are active, prospective and likely to contribute in a positive way to your business. Your email provider can give you the tools necessary to keep a clean list of email addresses, by helping you remove the emails that are invalid. Do not forget to make sure that each and every email you send out has a link that lets your recipient update their information and contact details through your Web site.

Your List Is Your Bottom Line, Respect It

You just cannot continue to keep the email id of someone who is not interested in receiving your messages just to maintain the size of your list. No matter how attractive the idea is, do not try to hold on to email ids unless they are responsive and happy to receive the information you send them. If you do not respect their wishes and email them even if they do not want it, they will just report you as spam.

Coordinating Within Your Organization To Keep Updated Lists

Some organizations have several divisions handling different aspects of the business. It is possible that one division has an email list that has a different set of addresses compared to another division. Now imagine sitting with them to compare and share. Both divisions have legitimately valid and verified lists! What a valuable resource! Practically a goldmine. But wait. It is not nearly as simple as that. You have to ensure that there is perfect coordination while using similar email lists within the same organization. Different divisions send emails about various subjects. If you are sending emails to one set of contacts on your list, another division might be mailing similar content to the same set. You cannot afford to send too many emails to one contact from the same organization and increase your opt out rate.

One more aspect to this is that the lists within an organization must make sure that the email ids of the people who have unsubscribed are updated in all these lists. This is necessary particularly if you have multiple email systems. Just imagine, one division continues to email a list that has actually opted out from the list. In such a case there is the risk of being reported as spam with serious consequences. A coordinated strategy throughout the organization can take care of this.

Free Spam Email Checking Tool HERE

It does you no good to send out emails if they are blocked by spam filters. When you start to build your database and set up your email broadcasts and auto responders you need to be aware that there are spam blockers out there that can prevent your emails from being received. I want to share some key words with you. If you are aware of them, and take them out of your emails, they will get to their recipient a lot more often.

For example, a major keyword is the word FREE. If you use the word free in your email, you need to spell it wrong. For example, FRE.E …..

Here are the keywords triggers that I know of that you need to be careful of:

IN the ADDRESS LINE: (From or To )

– First 8 characters of the from address are digits

– To address contains “friend@”

– To address contains “public@”

– To address contains “success@”

– From address contains “sales@”

– From address contains “success.”

– From address contains “success@”

– From address contains “mail@”

– From address contains “@public”

– From address contains “@savvy”

– From address contains “profits@”

– From address contains “hello@”

IN the SUBJECT LINE:

– Subject contains “advertisement” or “adv”

– Subject contains “!” AND Subject contains “$”

– Subject contains “!” AND Subject contains “free”

IN the BODY

– Body contains “money back”

– Body contains “cards accepted”

– Body contains “extra income”

– Body contains “,000” AND Body contains “!!” AND Body contains “$”- Body contains “Dear friend”

– Body contains “for free?”

– Body contains “for free!”

– Body contains “Guarantee” AND Body contains “satisfaction” OR “absolute”

– Body contains “more info” AND Body contains “visit” AND Body contains “$”

– Body contains “SPECIAL PROMOTION”

– Body contains “one-time mail” – Subject contains “$$”

– Body contains “$$$” – Body contains “order today”

– Body contains “order now!”

– Body contains “money-back guarantee”

– Body contains “100% satisfied”

– Body address contains ” mlm”

– Body address contains “@mlm”

– Body address contains “///////////////”

– Body contains “check or money order”

– Body contains “click here” or “click below” (try using “visit here” or “point your mouse here” instead)

It?s going to take a little more creativity on your part to write emails that won?t be blocked by filters. You?ll need to replace trigger words with equally effective non-trigger words. But don?t worry – that?s why the Thesaurus was born!
