First of all, thank you for subscribing to my email newsletter!
I am excited to share my experiences with you, so we can learn and go far together. I will be sharing my best tips on getting website traffic, building a successful online business, maximizing your profits, and more.
But before I do that, I want to make sure that you can receive my emails because the next few days are gonna feel like Christmas…
Why is this important?
Many e-mail and internet service providers have put in aggressive programs and filtering system to block unwanted e-mails (also known as spam).
I applaud their intention to protect all of us from spam, but everyone agrees that the current system is far from perfect.
Often these programs block e-mails that you actually want to get. Here’s how you can help the system prevent “false positives” and join the fight against spam.
Solution: White-list Emails from Syed
A whitelist is a list of email addresses of people who you want to receive emails from (and the system will never block those).
It’s a way for you tell your email provider that Syed is my friend, and I actually want to learn from him.
When you do this, email providers actually use your list to make adjustments to their overall filtering system which in turn helps the entire world!
Here’s how you can whitelist my email before your delivery is interrupted
Of course, every e-mail system is different. Below are instructions for some of the more popular ones. If yours isn’t here, please contact your ISP’s customer service folks for their instructions.
Also if you forward me their answer, then I will add it on this page for others.

1. In your inbox, find an email from [email protected] (ex your welcome email)
2. Drag this email to the “primary” tab of your inbox.
3. Add me to your contacts, so we can be friends.
4. You’ll see that all my emails will go to your primary folder in the future!
