    If you are having problems sending unsolicited bulk email, you need to take this question somewhere else. That topic is not allowed here.

    If you're using a service such as Aweber, it gives you a "spam meter" before sending so you know if you have any issues with the email you're about to send.

    You can also use a free tool at contactology.com...that's works well for me.

    Yeah use Aweber and check your spam assassin score there. If you're trying to use HTML, convert your email into text form and see if your spam assassin score is 0.

    Imnica Mail also gives you a score as well... That's why I never add any images to my emails when I send to my list.

    I'm doing email marketing myself. You do not necessarily need to have image in your email. A catchy headline will do the work for people to open your email.

    Make sure your format is easy to read. Roughly 3-4 lines per paragraph and 8-10 words per line.

    And research has shown that short emails will fetch higher click-thru rate than long ones.

    So the question you might have is...how to write effective emails?
    I'm sure you subscribe to other marketers' list. Comb thru the emails they send you and which one grabs your attention. Write your emails based on those framework and you will be surprise of the results.

      you should be able to get through ok if you're using regular auto responders like a weber, get response etc.

      keep an eye on the spam score. you can't use a whole bunch of caps of exclamation marks etc. that just looks like spam.

      u don't need to go down that route for your emails to be effective. use lots of curiosity, tell stories, entertain, teach, then have a call to action at the end.

      that works very well.
