How can I get my email to bypass spam filters?

[zee]

Hello,

I have job site and I want to send an email to a data of employers to invite them to post their jobs on my site. Is there a way to have all of my emails get through to my clients?

Your feedback is appreciated.

Thank you.

No. That's the whole point of having filters. Sending emails to people who have not "opted in" to receive them is technically spamming even if you think they would be happy to receive them.

Yes there is, you can email them one by one and plain txt not HTML:D

We're a job board. Best way to get employers to advertise is to phone them and that's not a quick and easy task. You have to get past the gatekeepers. Once you've managed that, you have to make sure that you have something special to offer them. What they would say is; There are over 600 job boards in the UK alone, so why would they want to use you? If you can't offer them anything better than other job boards, then they won't use you. EVEN IF YOU'RE FREE:D You have to be special, if you're not then they won't waste their time uploading jobs. It's not easy these days to offer something really different from your competition. If you've got nothing special to offer them, then you need a huge advertising budget or lots of time to do SEO, etc.

Register with companies like Broadbean, Conkers and Idibu.

Good luck!

Not really. Take ourselves for instance; unless you are already on our whitelist you will just go directly to junk. Many organisations have had to resort to these measures because they are drowning in spam.

We are working on providing a service for sending out bulk customised emails to opt-in lists and have therefore done a lot of research into this. There is no 100% effective way of ensuring that your email gets through. If there were then all the spammers would be using it. Text only emails are sometimes caught by anti-spam filters just because they are text. The best way to send emails to multiple recipients is to make sure you are only sending to an opt-in list, and by this I mean they have opted in to receive emails specifically from your organisation - not a general paid for opt-in list. You should also use an email marketing service. Our service is not ready yet so I can suggest you do a search on google.

I recommend that you do not send "spam" from your own email domain as you may find that your email domain is totally blocked by spam filters and even your valid 121 business emails will then not get through.

I hope this helps.

It's really quite simple. Don't send spam.

Or you could send out real e-mails to real people. Read this blog post for some inspiration: chrisbrogan.com/a-tale-of-two-book-pitches/

Avoid links, images and HTML. Make sure the people know who you are and don't flag your e-mail as spam.
