One main reasons for your emails being caught on spam filter is because your are not using the right email address. A lot of email gets caught in the spam filters because they are on self hosted domain, and most people are using free email service that do not trust these emails. You will have to ask your subscribers to whitelist your email.
Use a verified sender email, this greatly solves the spam filter issue. Also, write clear and relevant subject lines, avoid spammy words, personalize content, keep formatting simple, include an easy unsubscribe option, and regularly clean your email list to remove inactive or invalid addresses.
As far as I know, to prevent emails from ending up in a spam folder, one of the key tips is to use an email with your own domain and you should also continually review your contact list to eliminate invalid addresses. This tip is essential to reduce the possibility of your emails ending up in spam folders.

That's very true. A lot of people will trust your email if they come from a self owned domain, instead of free email providers like Gmail or Yahomail.
That's right, having your own domain gives you a lot of credibility. There's nothing more insecure and untrustworthy than receiving an email from a completely unknown domain. Who would open such an email? Absolutely no one. So having your own domain for your email is key.

While there is no harm in using free email service like Gmail, using your own self hosted email gives better credibility to your campaigns. However, before you send emails, you need to make sure people have actually subscribed to your newsletter
Ensuring that emails reach the intended inbox rather than the spam folder is one of the biggest challenges for businesses, especially when sending newsletters, promotional emails, or transactional messages. The first step is to focus on permission-based email marketing. Only send emails to users who have explicitly opted in, as this reduces the likelihood of recipients marking your emails as spam. Building a clean and updated email list is crucial remove inactive subscribers, bounced emails, or invalid addresses regularly to maintain a good sender reputation.
Email content also plays a major role. Avoid using spammy language like excessive capitalization, multiple exclamation marks, or phrases such as “Buy now!” or “Make money fast.” Keep subject lines clear, concise, and relevant to the recipient. Personalization helps too; addressing recipients by name or segmenting emails based on their interests increases engagement and reduces spam complaints.

Many people claim that if you write spammed Email title, then your mail can get filtered out. This could be true, however, the kind of mail provider you are using could also make your mail go in the spam folder. So you must make sure that you are using the right kind of mail provider in the first place. Avoid adding spammy text in the mail. Moreover, your email address should be professional and related to your organisation. Follow these steps and your mail might not go in the spam folder.
