You Might Be Breaking the Law With Your Emails

Hey ,

Let’s start with a possible scenario:

You sign up for a free checklist or a webinar from a business coach and suddenly, you are getting a full email sequence you didn’t know that you agreed to.

Now flip the script.

Are you doing the same thing to your audience, without even realizing it?

If so, your are not alone. Most creators and entrepreneurs are unknowingly breaking email marketing laws because no one ever taught them the rules that protect customers from spam and deception.

3 Laws That You Need to Know:​

• CAN-SPAM (U.S.) You must let people unsubscribe and be honest about who you are.

• GDPR (Europe) You must get clear permission before emailing someone.

• CAN-SPAM (Canada) You must tell people what they are signing up for and get proof that they said yes.

Common Mistakes I See Every Week:

And still not be legally operating as a business.

• You collect emails for a freebie but don’t mention they are also joining your newsletter.

• Your emails don’t have an unsubscribe link.

• You don’t show your business name or mailing address anywhere.

• You are using a form with a pre-checked opt-in box.

Compliance Tip of the Week:​
​Audit your current email forms and practices and fix mishaps right away.

Here’s a checklist to get started:

• ✅ Make your unsubscribe link easy to find in every email.

• ✅Show your business name and mailing address in the footer.

• ✅ Be clear about what people are signing up for (“ You’ll also receive my weekly newsletter…”).

• ✅ Use double opt-in so people confirm their sign up.

Compliant emails don’t just protect your business… They show your subscribers that you respect their time, privacy and trust.

When in doubt, consult a licensed attorney to review your email marketing practices.​
