Man do I hate spam. Not only do I hate spam, I hate legit email businesses not following the rules.
Here is my top 10 items on what not to do in an email marketing campaign. Let me know what you think. If I’m missing something, let me know.
Thanks!
10. When you broadcast your email. Make sure you dont check the links.
I just love it when I get redirected to a 404 page because the publisher didn’t
take 3 seconds to check his outgoing links. Better yet, forget the 404, how
about nothing at all?
9. Don’t worrty about youior speling. Dose it really mater how it looks anywyas?
Come on folks, take the time to double check your spelling.
8. Don’t worry abt ur grammar, k? Plz!
7. Dont provide an unsubscribe feature in your site and an unsubscribe link in
your emails. When someone in your list files a request to be unsubscribed, have
them snail mail you a 2 page answer on why they believe you should remove them
from your list.
Gosh! Why is it so difficult to unsubscribe from a list. Even the legit ones.
6. Dont Never ever use tracking links. Who needs tracking anyways? Its better
just to guess.
5. Insert as many PPC ads you can think of and beg your audience to click on
them. Especially Google Ads. They will love you for it.
No explanation needed for this one.
4. Don’t give yourself head trauma while smashing your head through the computer
monitor.
According to the CDC, 1.4 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury each
year in the United States. Out of those 1.4 million, 50,000 of them die.
3. Get so dehydrated that you end up at the hospital. Relaxation is key during
writing a good email marketing campaign, but drinking beer while sitting in your
chair for hours will severely dehydrate you and send you to the hospital.
2. Remember you are only doing your online business just for the money. You
really don’t like the product and marketing is not as fun when you start to feel
like it’s a job.
Love what you do. Money is not the only reason why you are in business.
And the # 1 reason is…
1. Don’t send e-mail to people who haven’t asked for it.
