Thinking of CC’ing Your Subscribers? Think Again!
Thinking of CC’ing Your Subscribers? Think Again!
Posted By Crystal Gouldey On June 20, 2011 @ 8:16 am In Email Marketing | 1 Comment
You have a message you want to get out to all of your contacts NOW. You’ve been meaning to get an account with an email marketing service provider, but haven’t done so yet. What do you do? Are you just going to use that carbon copy (cc) option your email service has?
Stop!
Using cc to send out your emails will only hurt your email marketing efforts. Besides losing out on all the features [1] an email marketing service can provide, you can damage your reputation as an online marketer.
Why is cc’ing so bad? We’ll break it down for you…
VIOLATION OF PRIVACY
When you cc people on an email, everyone can see the addresses that email was sent to. This can be a problem for a number of reasons:
Some of your subscribers may use those email addresses to send their own messages to.
Spammers target these [2] types of emails when data mining. If they find yours, they may be able to collect your subscribers’ information.
Even if your subscribers’ information doesn’t get abused, they’ll be able to tell you aren’t taking steps to keep their information safe.
There can be a “reply all” mishap. There are plenty of horror stories [3] about an email meant for one person getting sent to an entire group of people.
Takeaway: If subscribers find they can’t trust you [4] with their information, they certainly aren’t going to buy anything from you or want to remain on your mailing list.
CAN-SPAM BREACH
Are you familiar with the CAN-SPAM Act [5]?
The CAN-SPAM Act, a federal law with a set of rules for commercial emails, requires you include a valid physical postal address, along with a clear explanation on how to unsubscribe [6], in every email you send out.
This information is added automatically when you use an email marketing service, but it won’t if you’re using your personal email account. This means the responsibility falls on you to remember to do this every single time.
But what happens if you forget?
Takeaway: If you don’t have your postal address and clear information on how to unsubscribe, you are in violation of federal law.
SUBSTANDARD LIST MANAGEMENT
If a subscriber marks your message as spam [7], they need to be promptly removed from your list.
Email marketing services have an automated feedback loop [8] that can identify and remove that subscriber, but not your personal email. Just like that, you’ve opened yourself up to more complaints [9] that will negatively effect your sender reputation.
Same goes for if someone tries to unsubscribe. You’ll need to constantly be on top of your unsubscribe requests [10] so you don’t send messages to subscribers that opted out. Processing unsubscribe requests in a timely matter is also another rule under the CAN-SPAM Act.
Another point you should keep in mind, your ability to track subscriber activity [11] for that cc’d email will be limited. Your list may be made up of inactive email addresses [12] not even reading your messages, and you’d never know.
Filters are becoming more strict, and messages can be filtered because of inactive email addresses and high complaints, two problems we already identified you might be having from using your regular email service.
Takeaway: If you don’t manage your list properly, your messages will be less likely to reach your subscribers’ inboxes, and your campaign will become less effective.
SENDER LIMITS AND DELIVERABILITY PROBLEMS
When you’re using your personal email, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) limit the number of emails [13] you can send at a time. This will make your email marketing efforts much more time consuming. Instead of just creating one message in your email marketing service, you’d need to create multiple copies. And instead of everyone getting it at once, you’d have to send it in waves.
But the even bigger problem you’d face is having your messages end up in the junk folder [14]. ISPs can filter messages [15] for a number of reasons, and sending to too many people is one of them.
Takeaway: If you’re cc’ing a lot of people, your message can get filtered and your subscribers may not even get to see your message.
DON’T SABOTAGE YOUR ONLINE MARKETING EFFORTS
Beginning to realize you can be your own worst enemy? Fortunately email marketing services like ours can change this by keeping your reputation safe and your deliverability [16] high.
If you want to get your email marketing campaign started on the right note, try an AWeber account [17] for $1 for the first month. Your subscribers will appreciate it – and so will you!

So You Finally Stepped Into The World Of Making Money Online
So you have finally stepped into the world of making money online. You too, like the others, have decided to start with the affiliate programs. Also, you must have heard that it’s not a big deal to make good money with affiliate marketing, provided you choose the right programs and do some strategic planning while promoting your affiliate products. So far so good.
Whether you are promoting other people’s products or promoting your own products – that doesn’t matter because after all it is nothing but your own business and your means to earn good money. So whichever be your case, I am sure you would not want to leave money on the table and invite others to steal your share of profit.
Even though the industry of affiliate marketing is pretty competitive, but if you are cautious and are strategic in your marketing techniques then, it could be very profitable for you.
Take a close look at the industry, you will see that not every one who gets into affiliate marketing is successful. People who are doing well leave no room for failure and take all security measures and understand its importance.
Yes! Security is one of the key factors in affiliate marketing. If you do not adopt proper security measures, then your business will be at high risk. One of the most important way to restore security is to protect your affiliate links. Do not take them for granted. A bit of carelessness on your part in regards to affiliate links may cost you a lot of dollars.
Do you know the long complicated links that you send to your prospective customers not only look convoluted, but they can create a lot of problems too! If you send such an affiliate link to your customers, then the smart ones will definitely figure out that you are promoting someone else’s product, and they would rather visit the parent company. Also, if your link does not function then your customers have to type a really long URL into the browser, which will definitely put him or her off.
You could be a victim of even a worse situation. What if some devious Internet pirates steal your affiliate links and replace them with theirs. If they do that, then you get no commission at all.
