Email Spamming
Email spamming is a very wrong way of marketing your business. Unfortunately, many marketers are so much involved in it. But do you know how lousy email spamming is to other internet users?
There is nothing as stressful on the internet as opening your email box only to see a long list of interruptive emails sent without being requested. These emails are commonly known as spam or unsolicited commercial emails (UCE). It’s even more stressful to switch on your phone, and you get welcomed by numerous and repeated advertising messages to which you have never subscribed. Such emails and phone messages get sent to hundreds or thousands of people to make money by using unethical ways of advertising.
A good marketer will always send emails and messages to people who have subscribed to them. But sending such stuff to people who have not willingly asked for it is very unprofessional. Posting adverts to discussion groups and forums is also contrary to professional marketing standards. Everyone SHOULD AVOID!. Email spamming is currently a big problem for all internet users. It’s a bad practice that calls for our concerted effort to fight against it.
How Is Email Spamming Done?
Spammers get access to your contacts by automatically collecting people’s e-mail addresses listed on websites. This process is commonly known as scavenging. There are also those who use dictionary terms to develop email addresses by guessing. At times they purchase the contacts through list brokers.
I don’t know how you feel. But what you do to such emails and messages? I always feel uncomfortable with such stuff. One thing I always do is to delete those emails and messages immediately. Learn it now that when you send unsolicited commercial emails to people, who have not subscribed to an opt-in list, you stand to lose in many ways.
Lawmakers in different countries are coming up with laws and policies to restrict spammers from sending unsolicited commercial emails. If you are one of those people still insisting on sending them in the name of marketing your products, you risk having your website shut down permanently one day.
The Badness of Email Spamming Revealed
When you send emails and messages to people who are not interested in your products, you are using unprofessional marketing methods to fill their email accounts with advertising messages that they end up deleting. In the end, you get tagged as a spammer. Why don’t you save your name, your email and your IP address from being blacklisted? My friend, do not spam because it’s terrible indeed! Let’s all fight against email spamming.
When you spam, you violate the privacy of others. You become a stumbling block to those who run their businesses legitimately. Online users become overwhelmed with such emails and develop a bitter taste for legitimate online marketers. Not only that, but large emails also disrupt the facilities of Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
Since email spamming has never been good at all, I would like to appeal to whoever reads this article to avoid responding to spam. Never respond to it in any way. By so doing, you subject yourself to more spam. When you react to it, you are only telling the sender that your email account is active, whether positively or negatively. The sender then continues to send more. There is a need for a collective effort to fight against this bad practice that has stormed the internet. It is spoiling our web much. Play your role. Prevent this bad practice! Don’t promote email spamming by responding to spam!
