When you decide to build an opt-in list, it's not just a matter of sending your subscribers your promotional newsletters or product offers.

While there are many ways you can get people to subscribe to your list, there are also some things you must do to avoid subscribers from wanting to get off from your list.

Aside from that, you also want to avoid any problems with the law and your ISP or web host. There are now laws to protect the privacy and rights of the internet user from spamming (unwanted emails).

With the popularity of email for marketing because of the low cost, and effectiveness if done correctly, many companies have flooded many email accounts with promotional mail. That's not the correct way.

But, with an opt-in list, people subscribe and confirm to be on your list. That's the correct way. They want to receive email from you. They have consented to being on your list by subscribing themselves.

It is essential that you keep your list clean and manageable. Arrange it by using the many tools and technologies available for your opt-in list, such as the autoresponder I use:

Don't worry, your investment in this marketing strategy is well worth it.

Keep your operation legit and clean. Your reputation as a legitimate business person and having a legitimate website depends on you being a straight and true marketing professional. As a tip, here are some things to avoid when emailing your list.

Take notice of your unsuccessful sends. There are bounces that happen because the server was busy at the time but can still be delivered later. There are also bounces because the inbox of the recipient is full at that time. There are bounce messages because the address may be an invalid email address, a misspelled email address, or an email address that was abandoned and erased already.

Manage your list by putting markings on those that bounce. Erase an email account from your list so that you have an accurate statistics and records as to how many are actually receiving your mail. A modern autoresponder will do all this for you.

Always provide an unsubscribe feature in your site and an unsubscribe link in your mails. When someone in your list files a request to be unsubscribed, always take that request seriously. If you don’t take them off your list and keep sending them your e-mails, you are now sending them spam mail.

Do not provide pornographic or shocking and disturbing content in your newsletters. It is hard to decipher the age of the recipient and many complaints may stem from these. Controversial issues also are to be avoided. Stick to the nature of your site and business.

Always remember these tips in this article so that you can have a healthy relationship with your subscribers as well as be kept within the boundaries of what is allowed in sending mails to an opt-in list.
