Hi,

I had tried to build list with Getresponse and Awaber but failed as I can't get subscribers as expected. These two services becomes unaffordable for me. So, I tried to build list at Mailchimp. I work hard to learn Mailchimp and creat email campaigns. Mailchimp offers Free service till we get 2000 subscribers and it is good for me. I slowly started building email list, but suddenly Mailchimp suspends my account! I am totally dissapointed. I had written back to Mailchimp but after week I had not got message from Mailchimp. If I can't promote affiliate products to my subscribers then what is the use of autoresoponder? Please check my email to Mailchip so anyone can understand my problem. Read below:

Hi,
I am getting message in my account like : Your account has one or more issues that need to be resolved. But I am not able to understand the reason of violation. I had created email sequence promoting affiliate products. For that I have used email swipe provided by affiliate product creator. Is that the reason? I think building email list, nourish subscriber and promote affiliate products for proffit is the main reason behind creating email list. If I can't do that then what is the use of creating email list? I am new in creating email list and want to create huge list. Please remove restriction to achieve my goal. If I had made mistake please guide me so I can proceed further. Thanks for support.

    Sorry to state the obvious but did you bother reading their Terms Of Service before starting your campaign?

    Hi Pradeep,

    I know how it's frustrating buddy but you likely broke the TOS; affiliate products set off a red flag in my mind.

    Internet marketers; I have one solution to the many Mail Chimp suspensions, etc. Do everything through your self-hosted WP blog. Then link in to affiliate links, services, etc through your blog. MC is so picky because IMers have abused the system for years; now the Chimp has cracked down to weed out the lower energy stuff, forcing marketers to actually know and show off their craft through their blog.

    They don't allow affiliate marketing. It's for users that sell their own products / services.

    If you can't afford $15-$20 per month for an ESP account and you have a WordPress site, you could install a mailing list plugin and use a free Gmail account (smtp) to send messages with the plugin. You will be limited to 500 messages per day.

    If 500 per day isn't sufficient, you could get a Gsuite account (Gmail account using your own domain) for $5 per month and be able to send 2000 messages per day.

      Thanks for great suggestion. I will try to do as you suggested. I think your advise will benefit most of newbies.

      Thanks.

    Yeah my man it's not permitted. BUT, what you can do is try to spam them with emails that says like ''Hey is there any possible way to have my account back??''. I do this with Facebook when they don't respond and they always finish to respond hahaha

    1. If you read the Mailchimp | Acceptable Use Policy on prohibited content . You wouldn't add your affiliate link while sending email .
    2. May i know where did you get all the subscribers from ?
    3. If that from your blog,did you ever welcome your subscribers when they first join your list ?

    Your account suspension might be :
    - Your email list doesn't know you either or never sign up to your email list.
    - Your subscribers might block your email or report you as a spam : What should I do about abuse complaints? | Mailchimp
    - If you buys leads from Solo : Consider Spam report,unsubscribes will be more because they are not related to your business.

    cheers

    You should have some type of website/webpage to send people to from your email list where you can sell products. You needed a website or FB page to sign up, so just try to figure out a way to work around the issue. Customers love watching videos and info products over reading everything.

    This is an easy fix assuming you can get your account up and running again.

    Mailchimp doesn't allow affiliate marketing... try searching for affordable autoresponder that allows affiliate marketing.
