Double or Single Opt-In? What Does It All Mean? (2025/522)

If you’re building an email list, you’ve probably seen the terms single opt-in and double opt-in — but which one should you choose, and why does it even matter?

In this episode, Charly breaks down the key differences between single and double opt-in, and how each impacts your compliance, deliverability, and lead quality.

✅ You’ll learn:

  • The legal implications under spam legislation like the Spam Act
  • Why double opt-in helps you maintain a cleaner, more engaged list
  • How single opt-in can increase list size — but at what cost?
  • How to choose based on the “heat” of your leads and your marketing goals
  • Tips for reducing friction in the signup process while staying compliant

Don’t just guess. Understanding opt-in methods can protect your reputation and improve your email results.
