MailChimp Booted me!

Published on September 17, 2016

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I've been moving along, my site has been up for about 21 days. My first google analytics showed me 350 unique vistors already, I've gotten 2 referrals, 1 upgraded to premium so I wanted to start building a mailing list. I have some friends that I put into the MailChimp list because I asked them if it was OK. Then I composed an email and in it I directed them to one of my posts on my site, specifically bestinternetwork.com/united-games-real-or-scam. Before I know it I receive this message from them

Hello Dennis,

Ready to put this into action?

Start your free journey today — no credit card required.

MailChimp is not able to serve as the email provider for your account with the username dennis@bestinternetwork.com, because the content associated with your industry conflicts with our Acceptable Use Policy

Now thats a fine how do ya do!!!!!!!

I sent back a message to their compliance dept and it is because I have affiliate links on my site!

Just when I thought I was cruisin along good.

Before I go and set up with another email deal does anyone have any recommendations as to what service will work for our industry?

TAKE ACTION
