![]() 7 Hints to Help You Survive Prepare for the worst: Always keep a backup copy of your website on your local PC (never make changes to your site by working on it remotely). Keep a piece of paper handy with full contact details (telephone, fax, email and snail-mail) for your ISP and web hosting company. Always keep a copy of all your outgoing email, especially the newsletter itself. Make sure you really ARE following the rules: Don't include anyone on your mailing list (even friends, family, colleagues etc.) without their explicit permission. Make people work to sign up for your newsletter by requiring them to email a certain address with a "subscribe" instruction or by providing a newsletter sign-up box on your site for them to add their address to your list. Don't surprise people: If your current newsletter is about Deep Sea Fishing, and you suddenly have an urge to start up a newsletter about Wind Surfing, don't send your existing readership a copy of the new newsletter and assume they'll be interested! Instead, post a short notice in an issue of your current newsletter inviting readers to sign up for your new newsletter. Don't trick people into giving you their email address: Make it clear what people are signing up for ("A newsletter about X") and how they can unsubscribe ("Just send your email address to xyz.com and we will unsubscribe you immediately.") Don't put people on your mailing list for any other reason (such as failing to untick or tick a little box on a feedback form, signing your site's guestbook, applying for an award you offer or downloading a piece of software you are selling) Always start your newsletter in a consistent way: The trick is to build familiarity; your readers have to learn to recognise your newsletter immediately. If possible, tie the subject line of your email to the content. It may not be wildly exciting, but it will help people distinguish your newsletter from a spammer's unwanted gibberings. Naturally, you need to make sure your newsletter's online archive is equally consistent. Always make it easy for people to unsubscribe: Give clear instructions about how to unsubscribe from your newsletter somewhere within the newsletter, perhaps in a separate section at the end along with your site's contact information. Test the unsubscribe mechanism to be sure it actually works; nothing irritates people more than being unable to get off a mailing list even after following the instructions. Finally, make sure your newsletter doesn't look like spam: Avoid the use of ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, excessive use of "!" marks, proofread and spell-check your newsletter well (when was the last time you saw well-written spam?) and above all DON'T say "This is not spam." as that's what all the spam messages say. Instead, explain WHY people are receiving the newsletter: "You are receiving this newsletter because you signed up at http://www.url.com/signup.htm." (Make sure this is true i.e. if people go to the URL in question they really will find the sign-up form they used to join your newsletter!) free web site, Free E-Mail. email greeting card
What's Wrong With Spam? Maybe nothing, if you are the kind of person who has a very high tolerance for irrelevance, and plenty of time on your hands. But 95% of all spam is for MLM and pyramid marketing schemes of very dubious legality, schemes that guarantee to turn your few meager dollars into millions. Interesting, isn't it, that the supposed millionaires who have used the techniques to such success need to spend their time and money sending you an incredibly poorly worded letter full of misspelled words, fractured grammar, CAPITAL LETTERS and an incredible number of exclamation marks!!!! The other 5% of spam relates to useful or at least wholesome products and services, whose owners have been tricked or misled into believing that the Internet is a mass market populated by idiots with one-digit IQs, just waiting to send their cheques to a PO Box in Mexico. Personally, I side with the majority, who feel that spam wastes time, obscures the real email to your site (I get 100+ emails a day across 6 sites, of which 10-15 are real and the rest are spam) and costs you money (if you pay for your Internet connection) email greeting card.
