"Email marketing? That’s just spam, right?"

Not quite.

Dr. Mehmet Yildiz’s article, Why Email Marketing Is Not Sleazy or Spammy, dismantles this common myth with real-world examples and a fresh perspective.

Done right, email marketing isn’t about blasting inboxes—it’s about fostering trust and delivering value.

Take Julie, a nutritionist frustrated by social media algorithms. With well-crafted Sunday emails, she connected directly with her audience—who eagerly signed up for her insights.

Or a startup that turned email into a customer success tool, offering timely tips and case studies rather than aggressive sales pitches.

The difference? Consent, relevance, and value.

Even corporate giants like Amazon, Harvard Business Review, and Patagonia use email marketing—not for spam, but for personalized, engaging communication.

If email marketing was just "sleazy," why do the world’s most respected brands swear by it?

Key Takeaways:

• 📩 Spam vs. Strategy: Ethical email marketing is permission-based, while spam is intrusive, generic, and often deceptive. Big difference.

• 🔍 Social Media ≠ Ownership: Unlike social media, email lists give direct access to an engaged audience—without algorithmic interference.

• 💡 Smart Selling: The best campaigns don’t “sell” outright; they educate, build trust, and let sales happen naturally.

• 🏆 Proven by Leaders: Apple, Google, and Tesla all use email marketing—because when done right, it’s personal, effective, and far from spammy.

Cold email gets a bad rap. People say it’s spammy, annoying, or ineffective.

But tell that to Lauren, who just landed a $50,000 client—and a meeting with a massive brand—because she stuck with it.

In my conversation with Ryan on Grow Your Video Business, we broke down how to make cold email actually work. It’s not about mass-blasting inboxes—it’s about strategy.

Here’s the key: Every reply matters—even if it’s a no. Replies improve your email deliverability, meaning your next email is more likely to hit the inbox instead of spam.

And here’s a big mistake? Never send cold emails from your main domain. You need separate domains and inboxes to stay in the game.

Want an even better strategy? Instead of sending a generic pitch, offer a personalized video audit—but only after a prospect shows interest. That way, you’re only making videos for leads who are actually worth your time.

Key Takeaways:

• 📬 Every Reply Counts: Positive, negative, or neutral—each response helps keep your emails out of spam and boosts your success rate (0:24).

• 🚨 Protect Your Domain: Sending mass emails from your main business domain? Stop. You’re risking blacklists—set up dedicated outreach domains instead (13:53).

• 💡 The 5-Line Email Framework: Purpose, problem, solution, social proof, and call-to-action—no fluff, just results (21:41).

• 🎥 Smart Video Outreach: Don’t waste time making 100 videos. Instead, offer an audit after a lead expresses interest (25:24).

If your email campaigns aren’t making as much money as they should, the problem might not be the offer—it might be that no one is seeing them.

According to Max Sturtevant, 90% of brands are landing in the spam folder without realizing it. In his latest video, Email Marketing Deliverability Is EASIER in 2025… Do this NOW, he explains why inbox providers like Google and Yahoo have tightened regulations and what businesses need to do to stay out of spam.

The key? Your domain has a credit score based on email engagement, technical setup, and sending patterns. A low score means emails go straight to spam. A high score ensures they reach the inbox—and the right audience.

By following Max’s three-step framework, businesses can increase open rates to over 50% and ensure their email marketing efforts actually drive revenue.

Key Takeaways:

• ⚠️ Your Domain Reputation Matters: Google ranks your email domain like a credit score—bad score? Emails land in spam, not inboxes (2:13).

• 📉 Stop Sending Blasts: Email providers flag sudden mass emails as spam. Warm up your domain and send consistently—at least one email per week (6:56).

• 🎯 Focus on Engaged Subscribers: Sending to inactive contacts kills open rates. Prioritize a 30-day engaged list for better inbox placement (9:23).

• 📢 Content Quality Counts: Sales-heavy emails turn subscribers off. Mix in personal-style emails, humor, and value-driven content to boost engagement (10:34).

My Last $.02

In a digital world flooded with noise, your ability to create trust and deliver value is what truly sets you apart. By focusing on quality communication and ethical strategies, every email you send becomes a chance to build lasting relationships and boost your success.

Thanks for reading—here’s to transforming your email marketing into a powerhouse of engagement and growth.

Until next time, happy emailing!
