    So much to say. Mail more often.

    Are you warming up your list?
    Are you just sending links?
    Are you sending valuable content as well?
    Are the offers relevant to the list?
    Can you consider each email you send as part of an overall
    campaign for the offer. Such as 2 or 3 content emails, then an offer email.
    Are they opening your emails?

    Just my thoughts!

      I do send emails thrice a week. I insert a sentence at the end to create curiosity and then a hyperlink(click here). I send contents regarding Freelancing. My product which i am promoting might not be the best fit for them because it tell about understanding your whole personality and then apply for a relevant job.

    Hi Syssolution,

    I opted in to your list to see what you send.

    How many people do you have on your list? How did you build it?

    According me building a list isnt easy task! in your squeeze page..make sure you have a good content or a free lessons, where people with optin, go through the it and build relationship If you are thinking of a huge money in short period, I believe you are wrong.

    Takecare!

    The question is: Are they receving the mails?
    Server that is sending emails is banned?
    Emails do not go to spam?

      You're correct! Yes, delivery is showing % wise. But not sure it's delivered to inbox or spam folder.

        I think that your emails are going in to spam, because google thinks that you are a spammer.
        Use instead MailChimp to send emails.
        For 50 mail, on MailChimp is free.
        And all the time the mails are going to inbox

    Yes definately use an autoresponder, but mailchimp is not a good solution as you'll be banned if you sedn affiliate promotions.

    You can only have real stats if you know open rate, delivery rate etc and only 55 people isn't enought to start worrying.

    Just make sure to get a decent autoresponder, and check your stats, then yu'll have an idea if your offer converts or not.

    I got my first email with the ebook delivered in my primary inbox today.

    When should I be getting the second?

    Where did you get the traffic for your landing page?

      There is no second ebook. I get traffic from Warrior forum, craighlist, youtube and direct traffic as well. At this stage it's less traffic which i get every day.

    The antispam filters can be a reason, I am using getresponse and it works very good, earlier I have used Aweber without any problems too, but swithced to getresponse cos they are cheaper. Have you tried any of them ?

      I had a account with Aweber but i cancelled it without sending any email because at that time my website was not finished and lossed some amount of money in subscription. I am using mailchimp currently and using free methods for traffic.

    My suggestion is to just monitor open rates on a daily basis, and know what emails are being opened. Then tweak the rest to raise curiosity. Also you can send your list manual broadcasts every other day, just as long as they relate to your list's niche market. Good luck

      I am sending valuable content to my subscribers thrice a week and my average open rates is 11.9%.

      It doesn't seem to be the best one. I had registered but didn't used it and preferred mailchimp.
