For an e-mail not to be considered SPAM, the recipient:
a) must have agreed to or requested to receive an e-mail from you,
b) may be a friend or family member or an acquaintance (old or fairly new) with whom you have built up trust.
Some Options for creating your e-mail list:
1) Safelists
These work in various ways, one of the most popular being for you to view e-mails to score credits, which you then use to send out your own e-mails. Instead of trying to advertise directly using many paragraphs to explain your case (when the reader is just clicking from one mail to the next to try and score credits), include just a few powerful words and a link to a simple and to-the-point squeeze page where they can fill in a short form requesting more information.
2) Traffic Exchange Sites
Use a splash page with a contact form or a page with a link that goes to a squeeze page with a contact form.
3) Building Up Trust
Make friends on other sites--social sites, writing sites, forums, any site where you can communicate with your fellow members. Once you have built up trust with your new friends, tell them, in a friendly manner via e-mail, all about SFI. Do NOT do this if you cannot be a genuine friend and have ONLY one goal in mind.
4) Newsletter Subscribers
Have a form on your Website or blog where your site's readers can sign up to receive your regular newsletter via e-mail.
5) Opt-in Mailing Lists
Do your research. Make sure the opt-in mailing company is appropriate and reputable, and don't use an SFI-provided Gateway URL.
Abiding by the Affiliate Agreement rules:
* Be sure to mention that you are only an independent SFI affiliate, and not an employee or staff member of SFI.
* Make no claims or promises about how much one might earn at SFI, other than what is already mentioned or explained on the SFI website.
* Never mention your own earnings anywhere, to anyone.
* Get your facts straight. Be sure that anything you say is true as stated on the SFI Website. If you are in doubt, even the slightest bit in doubt, either don't write about it at all, or go search for what you should be saying.
In conclusion: Write your e-mail (or content for your newsletter) in a friendly way, as if you were blogging or talking to a good friend face-to-face.
