For your list do you use "confirmed opt-in"?

5 replies
Just wondering if anyone uses confirmed opt-in with their email list? and why/why not? Does it really keep out that much spam or does it keep people from going back to their email and confirming?

    I don't because I didn't want to lose people who didn't know to confirm...I don't deal in a niche that is familiar with email marketing. However, in an IM niche I would really think about using a confirmed opt-in or double opt-in as some call it.

      ahh ya that makes sense. for the IM niche most people know what they are doing and what they want. Other niches may not include tech savy people.

    I would still recommend using the double opt-in, what would the feds think of some internet marketer, not wanting his subscribers to double opt-in because they don't understand the process?

    I use opt-in as I like to see my subscribers take the action of opening their email and confirming their subscription. I makes me think that if they are willing to open their email they must be interested in my offer. That's my though anyway!

    I use the double-opt in. It makes my AR provider happy and it allows me to focus on serious subscribers. - instead of freebie seekers
