"The TEAM! NONE of us is as strong as ALL of us!"

"THIS Spam Don’t Come in No Can!"
(Revised 06/04/01)

As Internet marketers, we ALL worry about spam complaints, but this is a very easy obstacle to overcome by keeping in mind just THREE guidelines:

ALWAYS include what is called a "no-spam disclaimer" at the TOP of your ad, and

NEVER mail to the email addresses your receive from the various CHIP programs more than ONCE, and

NEVER mail to these email addresses later than TWO DAYS after you receive them

Let’s now cover these points in a little more detail…

First of all, Point # 3, is new. If you'll recall, we've stated elsewhere that we recommend that you wait five to seven days before mailing out your confirmation/sales messages. However, many of the companies are now changing their policies! TrafficWave will cancel you if you email more than three days after you receive your list, and DTL Network has just issued a memo that they don't want you to email to any list more than TWO days after you receive it.

The reason for this is simple: There are just a whole lot of people on the Internet with "short" memories. These are the folks who post an ad to an FFA network, and then forget they did it just days later. Of course they scream "Spam!" To avoid these "short-term-memory people" the companies are therefore revising their guidelines to shorten the time span between the time you receive your leads until the time you can no longer use them.

Of the ten CHIP companies that are designed specifically for accumulating leads, five use "web-based" emailing systems. These companies are:

Simple System
MultiLinks
AltraSearch
EmailPromoter
ProMoneyMail

These five companies AUTOMATICALLY attach the "no-spam disclaimer" to your sales message. In addition, they are set up so you CAN’T email more than once each day.

The four companies that use "PC-based" emailing systems (meaning that you mail out your sales message to the leads yourself) are:

TrafficWave
FFANET
DTL Network
MyEbizPage

Below are the standard "no-spam disclaimers" that you MUST include with EACH email that you send out from each of these companies:
