#unwebinar @unbounce @amy_e_ellis
USING WORDS IN YOUR SUBJECT LINE THAT TRIGGER SPAM FILTERS
HOW SPAM FILTERS WORK
• Spam filters assess every email for ‘spammyness.’• Emails that meet a certain ‘spammyness’
threshold get put in the spam folder.

#unwebinar @unbounce @amy_e_ellis
AVOID THESE COMMON MISTAKES
• Using phrases like ‘click here’ or ‘once in a lifetime opportunity.’• Going crazy with exclamation points!!!!• Using all caps.• Coloring fonts bring red or green.• Coding sloppy html, usually from converting a microsoft word file to html.• Sending an email that is one big image.• Using the word ‘test’ in the subject line.
