> Download Craigslist Mailer 2.0.1.0 from here http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-GET-...ail+sender
> Add SMTP sender accounts (yahoo, gmail, etc.) http://i.cubeupload.com/cPKEIa.png
in the SMTP Host use 465 and 587 both works but in 465 you need to check the SSL
> Select the "Sender Account Pattern". You have two choices:
loop: start from the first to the last or
rotate: start from the last stopped
This will rotate your SMTP sender because gmail only allow 500 per day per account so just like Sailira said (above) 6 gmail accounts will send your 3000 emails. Just play with the other settings like Wait ____ seconds between two emails.
> Create your message. Put your test email in the "Recipients" tab then click send to see if everything is working fine.
> Send.....
To your success.

How Do I Lower My Complaint Rate?
How Do I Lower My Complaint Rate?
If you find that your complaint rate is getting a little too high, it's important to take a look at what might be causing it.
Keep in mind that a high complaint rate can affect the deliverability of your messages, and if your complaint rate remains at an excessive level, your account may be terminated to prevent further unwanted messages from being sent.
While each list is different, there are some common solutions that you might consider when you are working to lower your complaint rate.
Keep in mind that a high complaint rate can affect the deliverability of your messages, and if your complaint rate remains at an excessive level, your account may be terminated to prevent further unwanted messages from being sent.
While each list is different, there are some common solutions that you might consider when you are working to lower your complaint rate.
When Collecting Subscribers
- Use Confirmed Opt-In
Sometimes it takes only one incorrect email address on a list to cause issues. If someone repeatedly receives messages from you they did not request, they very well could mark each message they see as SPAM.
The only way to know 100% that each and every address receiving messages on your list belongs to someone who requested your information is to use the Confirmed Opt-In feature. - Don't Take Permission For Granted
When adding subscribers to your campaign, take a moment to think about what kind of permission was given to receive email messages from you.
Has each and every person specifically requested to receive email messages from you? Was it clear to them that they were doing this when you got their permission? If not, simply don't add them to your list.
Read more on acceptable and unacceptable lead sources in our Knowledge Base. - Check Your Traffic Sources
Just as you need to make sure that people on your list have asked to receive email from you, you also need to ensure that the people who are coming to your website are coming for the right reasons.
Purchasing traffic can have negative consequences, as many services that sell traffic, even if that traffic is marketed as being "targeted" or industry-specific, often generate a lot of bogus results or people who did not come to your website intentionally. Even if these people do sign up to your list, they often won't remember visiting your site in the first place, causing them to not recognize your messages and potentially mark them as spam. - Set Expectations
Tell your subscribers what they can expect to receive.
If subscribers sign up thinking that they will get one thing, and you end up sending them another, they may report your messages as spam. Laying out the basics up front can avoid this problem - include information about the content you'll send, and how often you will be sending it to them.
When Sending Messages
- Make It Easy To Unsubscribe
People are going to unsubscribe from your list. That being the case, you want to make sure that they know how to do that, and feel comfortable with the unsubscribe process. If they can't easily unsubscribe, or they don't trust your unsubscribe method, they are likely to mark your message as spam.
One strategy for making the unsubscribe process easier is to place an unsubscribe link at the top of your message. In AWeber, just use {!remove_web} anywhere in your message to create an unsubscribe link. - Watch Your Frequency
Sometimes, subscribers mark messages as spam because they feel they are getting an overload of messages, which is obviously bad. On the other hand, rarely receiving messages can cause subscribers to forget who you are and why you are sending them messsages.
Testing different frequencies will help you to see what performs best for your campaign. - Include Only When Appropriate
If you are including multiple lists in your broadcasts, be sure that the information you are sending is applicable and related to what subscribers in all the included lists signed up for. If it is not exactly what they originally requested, this may cause complaints.
If you include lists, make sure that your "from address" is the same so subscribers recognize where those emails are coming from - seeing an email from an address they don't recognize can cause subscribers to think that you are sending spam. - Maintain Consistency
Maintaining a consistent image, along with sending consistent content, makes sure that your subscribers will recognize your messages - if your campaign becomes inconsistent, your messages may be seen as spam.
- Permission is a required foundation for getting email messages
delivered, but it is not the only necessary component of an effective
campaign that avoids complaints.
SPAM may have many definitions dependent on the perspective of its definer, but for deliverability the most important perspective is that of the ISP delivering your messages. Increasingly these services are defining SPAM as anything their users have expressed that they don't want in their inbox using the "Mark as SPAM" button.
Read more on how to maintain relevancy once you've gotten permission from subscribers - hold to the expectations that you set when your subscribers signed up. - When subscribers receive email and they do not know why they got it, they are very likely to think that the message is spam.
So remind them! You can use personalization options like {!add_url} to provide the URL of the website that your subscribers signed up on, or just explain the purpose of the list: take a look at this example from our blog post about how to make use of preheaders in your messages. - Finally, make sure that you are using a from address with a domain
(that's the part after the @ symbol) that is the same as your website.
For instance, if your website was http://www.example.com/ you should
have an email address like "newsletter@example.com".
Using a from address that your subscribers will recognize will not only improve your deliverability, but also help maintain a consistent message to your subscribers, letting them know who is contacting them and giving them an address to reply to.
- Permission is a required foundation for getting email messages
delivered, but it is not the only necessary component of an effective
campaign that avoids complaints.
List Maintenance
- Launch a Reengagement Campaign
Subscribers who have been on your list for a long time may lose interest in your messages, or even forget who you are, especially if they haven't heard from you in a long time.
Sending a message targeted specifically towards these people can help you recover those subscribers - for more advice on setting up a campaign like this, take a look at this blog post on reengaging inactive subscribers. - Remove Inactive Subscribers
If you can't get those subscribers to reengage with your list, it may be best to stop sending to them.
Sending to subscribers who are no longer interested in what you have to offer are much more likely to report your messages as spam. For a step by step walkthrough on identifying and removing inactive subscribers, consult our knowledge base article.

Top 10 Causes for Spam Complaints
At AWeber, we want to provide the best service possible. We want you to have the best deliverability possible; the best performance. In a nutshell: complete satisfaction.
Our Best Practices Manager, Kristie Sullivan, helps us help you meet these goals. Kristie helps customers maintain their accounts by providing tips for proper list management. Part of this job entails helping manage spam complaints.
This means she’s our go-to person for learning what causes spam complaints, which bring down your deliverability, and what you can do to fix the situation. She identified the top ten reasons why spam complaints occur.
First, What’s a Spam Complaint?
When someone marks a message as spam, their email client uses a feedback loop to tell us a complaint was made. Here’s how the “mark as spam” buttons look in different email clients:
Mac mail:
Yahoo:
Gmail:
The Causes and Their Solutions
1. Lack of expectations being set
Subscribers aren’t clear on what they signed up for and when they’ll be getting emails.
Solution: Provide details in the web form, confirmation message and welcome message that let subscribers know what’s going on and what they need to do (confirm, check email certain days, etc.)2. Unrequested content
If subscribers get information they did not request, that’s spam.
Sending information regarding related products or content can fall
under this category. For example, if someone signs up for cooking
recipes, they should not get sent offers for cooking supplies, because
they did not request offers about cooking supplies.
Solution: If you’re unsure about the content you’re
sending, don’t send it! If you run multiple lists, make sure only the
list that requested that information gets it, instead of every list you
have. 3. No confirmation message
When subscribers don’t confirm, there is no audit trail. There is also more of a risk that they aren’t as interested about the information being sent.
Solution: This one’s pretty easy: turn on confirmed opt in! Don’t forget to customize the confirmation message so it sets expectations for your email campaign. 4. Invalid from address
Subscribers won’t be able to reply with any questions or concerns they have if the from address is invalid. This can be frustrating, and lead to complaints.
Solution: Invite communication. Don’t stop at using a
good from address; invite subscribers to give you feedback and contact
you on social media. People like talking to people, not businesses. If
you ever need to change your from line, make sure you let your subscribers know. 5. Lack of company branding
If the from name and address are there, but
not related to the domain the subscriber came from, the subscriber might
not recognize it. If they can’t recognize it, they may think it’s spam.
Solution: Stay consistent with your branding.
Make sure the name on your website matches the name in the from line,
include the same logo in all of your messages and use the same
signature. 6. Poor traffic source
Purchased traffic can produce bogus results.
These visitors aren’t necessarily arriving at your site because they’re
interested in you. These subscribers can forget who you are or what
they signed up for by the time they get an email from you in their
inbox.
Solution: Bring in your own traffic. Use social media to spread the word about your business, write guest posts and talk in forums on other sites in your industry and practice good search engine optimization.7. Misleading subject lines
It’s good to have a catchy subject line,
but leave out the lies, please. This means don’t put “Re:” in front of
the subject to trick subscribers, don’t reference anything irrelevant
and don’t talk about enclosed account information if there’s really no
account involved.
Solution: There are plenty of ways to present the topic of an email in an interesting way:- Offer to teach something
- Ask a question
- Announce something new
- Offer a solution to a problem
8. Hiding the unsubscribe link
If there is a lot of blank space between the
end of the content and the link to unsubscribe, it’s harder to
unsubscribe for subscribers that want to leave. If they can’t find the
unsubscribe link, they may mark the message as spam since that will
solve the problem.
Solution: Include an extra unsubscribe link in your pre-header.
The pre-header is good for including links to view online versions and
also provides the subscriber with easy access to their preferences. 9. Sending too much or too little
Even if the emails are what subscribers
requested, sending too many emails (multiple times per week) can lead to
spam complaints. On the flip side, sending not enough may cause
subscribers to forget why they’re getting these emails.
Solution: This goes back to setting expectations.
Somewhere in the expectations, mention how often they should expect to
get emails. Stay consistent with send times. 10. Poor list maintenance
Sending emails to subscribers who have been
inactive on the list for a long time is risky and not cost effective. If
the subscriber hasn’t opened an email in months, they’re probably not
interested anymore and more likely to complain.
Solution: There are a couple solutions for this.
Subscribers that haven’t opened in a couple months (or whatever length
of time you feel is appropriate) can be deleted from your list. If you don’t want to delete any subscribers right off the bat, try sending a reengagement series to get their attention.

TL;DR: If you are already in the ‘dog house’ go scroll down to find some actions you can try to speed up the process of reinstating your account.
Welcome to the new Instagram! This born-again Instagram is a total paranoid, over protective and has a zero tolerance … to spammers … or anything that ‘looks and acts‘ like spammer.
Don’t get me wrong, the intention is good, in general. It is designed to get rid off fake accounts and spammers that had riddled the service for so long.
Unfortunately for the young and inexperienced users, just a slight ‘unintentional‘ mistake will get them banned! And the worst part is more often than not you’ve got NO clue whatsoever as to WHY you got banned! Sometimes they don’t often give you warning or message.
Instagram today has become a treacherous land to navigate through, it has more traps and mines than Afghanistan after the war. One wrong move and you will feel the wrath of Instagram gods.
But fret not! We’ve come up with these recipes to guide you through the trial of becoming a master of your own Instagram fate. Follow these guides and at least you have a bigger chance to live a normal life as an Instagram citizen:
1. If you’ve just created a new Instagram account, DO NOT start Liking or Commenting on other people’s photos straight away. This is what fake accounts usually do. Instead, DO start with posting your own photos, at least 10 of them, but not at the same hour, do it 2 a day. After one week past, you can start with your liking or commenting.
2. DO complete your Instagram profile, including uploading your profile photo and write a short bio. Do not expose yourself to Instagram hunt and destroy Sentinel bot.
3. DO NOT stop posting photos! Again this is a typical things that spammers do. DO post more and post regularly. Twice a week is enough if you can’t do daily post.
4. DO NOT Like excessively! This will surely get you banned. The limit is 350 per hour, but I suggest not to max your quota.
5. DO NOT Follow people en-mass! This is considered to be a spammy and bot-like activity. The limit is 20 per hour. And remember that you can only follow as many as 7500 people, no more. So choose who you follow wisely.
6. DO NOT post multiple duplicate comments – including emoji. As soon as Instagram detect you doing this it will put you straight away in ‘detention‘! You won’t be able to comment anymore for as long as you are in this proverbial dog house. For how long? Nobody knows.
If you manage to get the notorious ‘Action Blocked‘ message from Instagram, well … you better pray that Instagram will let you in. I’ve heard from various users that the ‘detention’ time can range from a few hours to a few weeks!!!
7. DO NOT mention users that don’t follow you on other people post, unless they mention you first! This usually happens when our photo has been selected to ‘win’ some competition/weekly challenge etc. and we have people congratulate us. Your first instinct would be to thank them, each of them. Well, try not to do this to much, and definitely not by mentioning more than one people in one comment. It sucks I know, but as I mention at the beginning of this post, this is the new paranoid Instagram.
By the way, the limit to mention other users is 5 per comment. This seems to be ok if they are your followers and when you do it on your own post.
8. DO be careful when you use Like or Follow Bot services. As a matter of fact, I would suggest that you refrain yourself from using these services. However I won’t deny that there are cases where the use of these bots have its merit. And I am not going to stop you from doing that as long as you understand the risk that you are taking. Instagram and its parent company Facebook has been getting better in detecting these type of activities lately, so don’t say I didn’t tell you so!
9. DO NOT ignore the Community Guidelines! There are probably tens other things that can get you locked out from Instagram that we don’t know the reason about. So I urge you to read (again) the Instagram community guidelines and try to follow the rules written in there.

Now all of these feel like as if we are living in a dictatorship country, and a little bit of sledgehammer solution, but this seems to be what Instagram had decided to do to try to curb the spammers, fake accounts and bots.
It’s better to be over cautious nowadays, because once you get banned there is no way to tell when or if you will get your account back!
But but but I am already in the ‘dog house’ – what should I do!??
When you get banned it usually takes Instagram from 4 hours up to 4 weeks to reinstate your account. What can you do to speed things up? You can try some of the following actions which had been reported could make the process quicker, though they don’t always work:
- If you get one of those pop-up message like the screenshot in the point 6 (the Action Block), use the ‘Tell Us’ button to tell Instagram that they’ve made a mistake. I’ve had some people commenting in this article telling some success stories using this method. After they use the button, Instagram came back (presumably via your registered email address) and was asking some more security information. Instagram then ask the account holder to write the full-name, username and a code Instagram sent to them on a piece of paper and take a picture of themselves holding the paper. After sending the picture to Instagram their account got reinstated after a few days.
- Use this official online report form to reach Instagram.
- Edit your Bio. I’ve read from some of the comments in this article that changing your bio had made the ban successfully lifted.
- Do a clean install of your mobile OS. This seems to me a little bit of a sledgehammer approach. But desperate time requires desperate measure. Besides, it’s been reported in the comment that this method worked.
- If your account is disabled – well … that must had been a really serious violation indeed! Reading on this official Instagram Help page, your account can be disabled without warning! If you feel that this was a mistake, you can appeal by logging in back to the account and follow the instruction there.
In the meantime, keep trying every day and see if your ban has been lifted, don’t be afraid to try, your account won’t get deleted or something like that for just trying.
If you come across other reasons that one can get banned or blocked from Instagram, please do share in the comment below, I will update the list with your report.

The reality:
Most people won't even try to do what is taught in this course, because - like most things that are worthwhile - it's perceived as being too much work, or too complicated, etc.
Then something else will come along and s**** up their time. Or distract them.
Or they'll just tell themselves that "it won't work," or "this is not for me," or "I'll do it... next week."
And "next week" never comes.
Do I know that this will work for you? No. For me? Don't know that, either.
But THESE things I DO know:
1. IF you don't take some kind of ACTION in the direction of your goals,
you're guaranteed to fail. Won't work.
2. IF you don't DO anything but criticize, pick things apart, and don't believe that something will work - for you or for anyone - WITHOUT TESTING IT FIRST... you'll fail. It won't work.
3. IF you continue to download bright shiny object after bright shiny object and NOT apply what you've learned - or only apply it a little bit, then give up at the first roadblock, guess what? Fail. Ain't gonna work.
Now, I'm not meaning to sound harsh here... even if I may come across like that in this post.
The truth is: I'm also talking to MYSELF just as much as I'm talking to YOU, if you haven't or aren't having the success you deserve now. Or if you've HAD success with something else, and are still trying to 'figure this internet marketing shit out.'
So the best way of having success with this OR ANY program is to:
1. Learn a little.
2. DO and APPLY what you've learned so far.
3. Figure some things out based on what you learned so far.
4. Do some more.
5. Keep learning and keep applying. Remove what doesn't work and continue to apply what does.
6. Rinse and repeat.
Having said that, let me add this:
There are things out there that are being sold that are pure crap.
We ALL know this, and that's why this wonderful forum exists!
I love this place, and happily come here every day. (I probably shouldn't, but I do, 'cause of all you cool people here... and the cool shit that's shared!)
But there's also stuff that's sold/taught/shared that DOES have value in it.
Sometimes, the things that are taught are criticized by otherwise people with good intentions. They say these things because they believe them, and because they're expressing their opinion. And everyone's opinions are based on their individual experiences in their lives.
Are they right? Yes. Are they wrong? Yes.
But what makes it right or wrong for YOU?
Only YOU can decide that for yourself.
Here's the problem:
IF you learn/read/see something that looks interesting to you, and you HONESTLY feel like it could work,
then what should you do?
Should you come to the forums and read what everyone else (including those who haven't tried it yet) are saying?
Maybe.
But you shouldn't choose NOT to do something that you believe could seriously make a huge difference for yourself and your family, simply because someone is expressing their negative opinion about it.
Because you may get in to a bad habit of continuing to do this... over and over again.
You start to become like an attorney - continuously looking for the BAD or the WRONG in something.
But attorneys do that in order to offer a solution for their clients and get paid for it.
If you keep looking for the bad in something, you're simply developing a bad habit of looking for an excuse not to do something, in order to remain in your comfort zone.
Am I right?
Please don't ask me how I know all this. :)
The Take-Away (regarding this or any other program):
The ONLY way to decide if something truly works or not is to DO it and discover the truth for yourself.
Ask yourself, "Hey, self... What's the worst that could happen here?"
For example, if you use this program (the Kenny Cannon/Mario consulting thing), you'd only be out a few hours - from watching his endless videos (yeah, he DOES talk a lot! lol) and probably less than $50 (if that).
But what you'll GAIN is extremely valuable!
You'll get phone experience - with actual prospects!
You'll have the opportunity to offer value to biz owners.
You'll gain skills in the most coveted and lucrative area: Sales (marketing, too).
And - you just might - get a client or two or three who will pay you thousands of bucks for helping them.
Or, you could just ignore this and move on to the next item in the feed.
It's up to you.
