Question on length of autoresponder emails

I haven't launched my sequence yet but after some research, this is what I decided to go with.

1 2 3 5 7 9 11 13

And every 3 days after that.

Every 2 days for about 2 months and every 3 days after that.

Every 3 days in my book.

I know 6-figure earners who spam my inbox twice a day with their email sales pitch. No good content in them, just a sales email. Of course... they get instantly unsubscribed.

Some people email their list twice a day others email their list once a week it really comes down to what you feel comfortable with

Personally I would hate to email any of my list twice a day that in my opinion would be obsurd and I'm pretty sure that my un subscribe rates would go through the roof

At the same time you DON'T want to email so far apart that you get the "who the hell is this guy" because that is just as bad as emailing too much

Now for me personally, when ever someone joins my list I email them every day for at least a week because this is when they are most interested

After that I spread my emails 2 days apart and then 3 then

I like to steady off and send emails every 3 - 4 days, any longer than that and I think it's too long

My buyers lists and broadcasts are different though but I won't get into that here otherwise I will be here a week explaining what I do and why I do it :-)

Bottom line is be a bit realistic and use common sense when sending out emails. Most people won't want to be bombarded with 2 - 3 emails a day but at the same time 1 email every 2 weeks will be just as bad

It isn't about their length, apparently: it's about their frequency and the length of the series.

To me, it makes no sense at all to send a series of 11 autoresponder emails. What are you going to do after the 11th one? Just stop sending them? I have lists from which I derive more collective income after the 15th email than I do before it.

Ultimately, the answer to all these "How should I ...?" questions, regarding how you communicate with your subscribers is that it depends on their expectations. And you're the person who sets their expectations!

I'm going:
1,3,5,6,7,9,11,13,16,20

You'll get a varied opinion on this question edyang. What I would suggest you give some thought to is consider who your subscribers are and what and when they would find information relevant.

IMHO it's not the quantity of a follow-up sequence, but the quality (relevance). I don't feel enough of us spend time creating a persona calendar of who we are trying to engage.

Perhaps you guys are troubling over this question too much.

The frequency is not important. The value you deliver is.

There is nothing wrong with emailing every day, sometimes I send two in a day, but every single one of my emails is helpful. I create genuine content because I care about my clients. I tell them things that will help them. I only mention my products casually.

PROVIDE VALUE...and your other problems will be solved. My subscribers love me.

Thanks for all the input. Agreed that quality is of utmost importance. I spent a lot of time crafting the emails to make sure that I'm teaching them something useful (hopefully). There's no selling in the autosequence email at all. I will likely take up some the suggestions here and run it out when the quality material I have at hand tapers off, and from there move to broadcast messages or newsletter type emails.

The OP is not sending affiliate type emails here . or maybe I am looking under the wrong rock. The OP is running launch sequence which is geared towards building anticipation and getting them on a pre-sale list.

Total different animal than affiliate email series or even production emails. Need to be hitting them with success stories and hyped case studies that are written in a way the reader puts themselves in the story. They envision how much better off they are going to be .. just as soon as they are able to get their hands on this miracle in waiting.

This is very subjective. Just follow what you feel comfortable.

I think if you'll ask 100 IMers about it, you will get 100 different opinions. I would say go with whatever seems right to you.

For the first 5 days, i would recommend sending two emails per day, to get them to know you and see what you are all about
