One thing you need to keep in mind, if you don't want to have problems with your e-mail marketing campaigns is. You must use e-mail etiquette

The rules of e-mail etiquette

First, when you have someone to opt in to your e-mail campaign, make sure you ask permission. Only when you have the permission of the person that you're marketing to will campaigns work. Without this permission, you will more than likely never get past this prospects Spam filters.

Also remember that permission loses its power over time, no matter how you get someone's e-mail address. Don't wait, you need to send them something right away. If you wait weeks or months, they will probably not remember who you are and what you are about. So they might just delete it or maybe even unsubscribe to your list. So be sure to send them a welcome e-mail. Maybe something with your most recent blog post, give them value right away. Then they will have you fresh in their mind and look forward to your next message.

etiquette and the law requires that you include an opt out link or unsubscribe link providing instructions on how a prospect can be removed from your list. And if they has to be removed due at right a way within 10 days, and to keep from being labeled as a spammer. Make sure your prospects know, what sort of campaign or newsletter they are signing up for. To get help with this I recommend a service like Get-Response or Aweber they provide assistance in these areas.

One other thing to remember is that your prospects are people don't just sell every time you contact them, telling him how urgent it is that they buy now with a call to action. Give them value. Give them tips and information that they can use, include a funny story or just tell them a little something about yourself. Let them know that you're a human, and that you want to treat them the same way. And the best way to keep your e-mail out of the spam folder Never use words like "free" "money" or "bonus", and never write using the CAP Lock key - 29941
