• Don’t use “spammy” looking headlines. When your emails contain headlines such as those that have words such as sex or the names of certain drugs in them, your emails could very easily be considered spam and sent directly to the trash bin.
• Using long weird looking affiliate links. It’s good to try to sell your affiliate products but remember that many affiliate links are long and unsightly. The solution is to use software that will cloak your links or use a service to shorten your affiliate links.
• Using long email widths. Ideally, the width of your emails, from left to right, should be less than 200 characters. This tends to improve readability and helps to ensure that your subscribers read your email. People usually scroll up and down alright, while scrolling left to right can be a real problem.
• Too much hardsell. How you treat your subscribers is very important. While making a profit for your business is also important, that should not override the needs of your readers. A good guideline might be to send one promotional offer for every nine emails that contains valuable content. So then, you “train” your subscribers to be on the lookout for your emails since they will be getting information that they want and won’t unsubscribe from your list.

Your email marketing campaign should always provide value to your subscribers.

Always try to give the lots of value through your email marketing and you will be rewarded by having more subscribers and in the long run make lots of sales. Remember,the success of your email marketing campaign depends on avoiding the above mistakes.
