10 Ways to Avoid Email Spam Accusations

Almost every Internet marketer has asked themselves, "What can I do to avoid email spam accusations?" There are some simple steps that will help.

Email marketing can be a very effective way to promote your online business. It actually works extremely well for small niche businesses.

It is important to start with an email capture page or form so that visitors can "opt-in" to receiving your information. This also helps you build and manage your email list. With an opt-in list you can send emails that are compliant with the CAN-Spam Act and that include the necessary opt-out links.

Using email marketing can help you build relationships and trust with your customers. Nevertheless, although someone may request your email, it is still possible that they might report you for spamming. They might forget they opted-in or not recognize the email is from you.
These 10 steps will aid you reducing the number of times you are accused of spam :

1. Don't Ever Spam!

3. Send a Welcome Message.
