Whitelist Instructions

To “whitelist” simply means adding our email address above to your email contacts so your email program knows it is safe to receive emails from us and doesn’t block our newsletter. Below are instructions for several popular email programs… please take this whitelist step now. At the bottom of this page is your instant access to your bonus.

Whitelist Instructions
A whitelist is a list of email addresses that you want to receive email from. By adding an address to your whitelist, you are telling the email system not to filter email from that address. Follow the instructions below for your email provider to add us to your whitelist, to ensure that you receive our newsletter after you subscribe. (From time to time their methods change so consult their help feature if these instructions don’t make sense.)
