Ever find an email you opted-in to receive in your spam or bulk folder?

Popular email providers (AOL is by far the worst about this, followed by Yahoo) often decide that emails you requested are spam. They’ll put them in your spam folder. Sometimes, they don’t deliver your emails to you in any folder.

If there are emails you want to be sure to receive (like emails about new posts and videos in the Marketing Rebel Insider’s Club)…

… you can take the “spam / not spam” decision away from your email provider by “whitelisting” email addresses you want to be sure land in your inbox.

Spouses, children, and close friends should probably join Marketing Rebel on your white list 🙂 .

There are three simple steps to getting the emails you want in your inbox.

1. Reply to the email. Just one time. This might be all you need to do for big email providers like Gmail / Google and Yahoo.
2. Add the sender (stan@marketingrebelemail.com in this case) to your Contacts.
3. Follow your email provider’s whitelisting steps. The primary email providers are down this page.

NOTE: Email providers change their steps frequently. If you find something on this page out-of-date or missing, please head to MarketingRebelSupport.com and let us know.

You should test this process immediately by whitelisting the email address that sends you information about your Marketing Rebel products and coaching programs – stan@marketingrebelemail.com.

LAST TIP: – If you send bulk emails to your prospects and clients, check out Part 2 of the email marketing course available to Marketing Rebel Insider’s Club members – Getting Email Delivered… Read… and Acted On. That lesson is about doing everything you can to keep the emails you send out of the spam filter.
