Want the solution?
Its not clicking the confirmation link in the email. The reason a LOT of companies do that is because they designed their list to be DOUBLE OPTIN, which requires the 2nd step of clicking the confirmation link. Sure, gmail can still use that as a sign though, but that's not the main reason.
I'm gonna drop a real bomb on you all though.
Want to get your email in the Inbox more? Ask the reader to "tell you something".
An example would be after sending them an email about all kinds of tips and tricks for running a business, ask them at the end of the email to tell you their "top frustrations with running a business".
Guess what happens?
They send you an email now.
Don't you think Gmail would think this was a pretty damn strong signal/trigger to allowing future emails from you to that person's primary inbox ( and not the promotions tab )?
Now you also get feedback you might need for your next post or email or product.
Now you also see who is active in your list and who isn't.
Now you lock that customer into a relationship too ( not speaking about Gmail here ).
Your welcome.
