Spammy Words
Avoid using the following words anywhere in your email, whether preheader, subject line or copy:
- This email is not a spam
- Best price
- Cheap
- No questions asked
- Free
- Money
- Win
- Winner
- Rich
- Save
- Income
- Profit
- Debt
- Weight loss
Apart from the words, the context also matters. As spam filters are getting more advanced, they won’t automatically send your emails to spam if they contain words like “discount code” or “claim your offer.”
