[...] I’ve been on a number of different email newsletters, and I’ve seen firsthand what annoys me as a subscriber. So before I had a newsletter of my own, I wanted to come up with a better way of doing it. I definitely didn’t want to piss people off with my emails. [...]

You should also emphasize in your e-mail how your server crashed because there were so many people trying to access your site after your last e-mail; oh, and make people feel exclusive (I’m only sending this out to my VIP list). Very entertaining read Hunter

There's no better way to let people know that you're broke and lazy than to embrace the tactics in this list. There's also no better way to get your email address marked as "spam". Kathy @ Virtual Impax´s last blog post..Steps to Starting a Small Business: #6 Setting Your Rates

The thing which pisses me most off are the email without subject. This doesn't happen with marketing mails, but happens at work in my corporation daily. ciao alex Big Blogger´s last blog post..How To Increase Your Newsletter Subscribers With a Delayed Popup

This post was inspired by an actual email I received from someone I barely remembered, using tons of CAPS and color to advertise something that’s pretty vague, but says it pays a minimum of $1,839 a month with no effort, and up to $80,000 a month for superstars. I don’t understand why people think this is the best they can do.

I agree with those of you who said PSes work, but I think it’s funny that so many marketing emails have them, as if they almost forgot to say something.

I love number 5 and 6! I have signed up for newsletters from blogs that I thought were small business or entrepreneurial oriented. It turns out to be MLM/pyramid scheme type blogs or websites and it shows from some of the spammy emails I�ve received. There is nothing that turns me off more than �GET RICH NOW!!!�

So *you're* the person that's been looking in my inbox! Fortunately, my spam filter catches most of the real spam, but it can't catch the ones from "friends." I'd like to send this post to every one of them! Mike Nichols´s last blog post..Dizzy? It May Be an Anxiety Disorder!

Hunter – it sounds like you’re getting a lot of the stuff I’ve been getting in my aol mail. This one guy is really pissing me off at the moment – he sends stuff with titles like “Why Are You So Angry?”. And I have to tell you – nothing makes me more angry and hit the delete button so hard I nearly bugger my keyboard.
