How to get your e-mail newsletters to be read.

First you need to make sure it gets to their "in-box"

Some keys are the size of the graphics, size of the overall newsletter, content, subject line, and from line.

All caps in the subject line increases your changes of going into a spam folder. Watch out for words like “Free” and “Sex” in the subject line too.

If you want additional information sent to you on The Spam Filter Game, send an e-mail to: info@newsletterville.com (Subj: spam filter game)

The best type of content for your readers.

Helpful information that helps the reader be better at what they do.

Keep your content and articles focused on the readers needs, wants, challenges, etc... For example; if your prospects (or the industry that they are in) has trouble with turn-over, have an article to help them lower their turnover. You can do this for multiple industries and issues.

Quick tips and articles that they can read in 2 minutes.

Article size 800 words or fewer. We like to keep the articles (whenever possible) between 300-500 words each.

Use "quotation marks" for the title of each articles or the lead article.

Use some of the suggestions from my earlier blog posts with free reports, ebooks, contests, etc…

Remember the 80/20 rule about the content.

Continually measure and do research on what is working.

Never send chain messages using your primary e-mail address or the e-mail address that is in your newsletters.
