To make your email legal and non spammy, include your contact information at the end of every email you send. Most autoresponder and email management solutions have provisions for this. You'd do well to use them.

Give every subscriber an opportunity to remove himself from your email list if he decides that he doesn't want to receive your emails any more. That way, you are really living up to the ethics of legal email marketing.

5. Work on your subject line.

Your subject line can make or break your email marketing campaign. Put some little effort on your subject line.
