How to avoid spam in your infoproduct emails

One of the problems that you will face trying to sell your information products online is the fact that your emails from your autoresponders could be viewed as 'spam'. This means that filters could prevent your emails from reaching their intended targets, thus reducing your likely sales. There are several things you can do to help avoid this.

Firstly, write normally. Avoid using hyperbole or exaggerated claims. Similarly, avoid repetition of words and phrases. Write like you would talk and you'll reduce your chances of difficulty.

Secondly, avoid using so-called 'spam fooolers'. These are words like m^oney or fr*e. These do not fool the spam filters - in fact they make your emails look more like spam - plus they can't be read so easily by your readers.

The next thing to consider are the words you'll be using. Words such as 'free', 'make money', 'rich', 'sex', etc are bound to get your email greater attention from the spam filters. If possible, avoid such words.

If you are in any doubt about your email, get it checked for likely problems at:
