Aweber unsubscriber questionnaire

As far as I know, aweber already supplies this.

Re unsubscribes in general, don't worry about it. If you look at any list's unsubscribes, most of them are bots of one kind or another, rather than genuine subscribers.

That's the benefit of using a list manager like aweber; you don't have to deal with all the junk. They do it for you.

I use Aweber, but not the unsubscribe feed back option.

All my subscribers have always been confirmed opt ins, so if they want to leave, then it's their choice.

I have used a feed back tool, that was many years ago when using another AR and believe me, the positive criticism that you receive is virtually zero. Just about everything is venomous and negative criticism and even though only a small minority will unsubscribe from your list and far less, will leave any feedback. I consider it better not to get that kind of feedback.

I like to try always to be positive, but most feedback will be negative, incoherent, vindictive and spiteful, as a lot of it comes from people who can't find success themselves and are frustrated. They think that the list owner is successful, so they vent their anger - against the list owner!

IMHO, unless you are getting large numbers of unsubscribe requests (then you definitely need feedback) - don't bother asking for feed back - unless you are very thick skinned.

Just my thoughts,

Hi, I have been presented with such a questionnaire numerous times.
By the time I hit the unsubscribe link the relationship has already ended and I have no interest in completing the form.
Waste of time having such a tool in my opinion.
Cheers

I didn't realize (guess I just didn't think about it) that people give venomous type responses... OR that you think it isn't worth doing.

When I unsubscribe from a list - if presented with the feedback box, I often DO post why... and there's usually only three reasons (in no particular order, often #2 is the most though)

1) I already know/use the info and haven't found anything new that they could provide for me,

2) Too many emails/pitches for everyone elses products (hey, I know they need to earn money online, but sending emails for other people's products 2 times daily is NOT practical, just ticks people off).

3) I get too many emails and am simply unsubscribing from most to free up my inbox. I always mention that it's not the person's fault, I simply don't have time to read every email that comes through and need to focus on my own business.

Obviously if I subscribed in the first place, there was something I was interested in... the problem is keeping people interested by providing quality articles or posts, not just pitch after pitch.

We're all guilty of it sometimes. (But it's why I RARELy ever send an email for anyone else's product to my list, especially through those big launches. People get bombarded and hate it).

Just my 2cents.
