Important!
If you are one of my active subscribers, you would have noticed how my subscriber count has fallen from 277 to 227 in just a week.
It looks like someone randomly subscribed and reported the emails from my newsletter which led to all my emails going to spam folders (at least for Gmail users).
I had to remove any inactive or scammy-looking subscribers from my list.
I need your help. Here’s what you can do:
If you find any email sent by me in your Spam folder, mark the email as “Not Spam.” You should be able to see my emails in your primary inbox.
If you can, please reply to this email with a “Hi!” or any other message.
Even better (a bit of work here), please safelist my email. Here’s how you can do it.
