Default New Member and Request Help With List Building

Hello Everyone,

I am new here at warrior forum and I have a little dilemma I'm hoping someone here can help me out with. I'm currently in the House Cleaning Niche and the site I'm running has been live for a little over 2 weeks, and so far I've accumulated 25 subscribers to my list. The problem is, No One is Opening and Reading my eMails! very few people have opened them up but most are not and I'm not sure what I can do.

I know the content that I'm providing is quality...I know people are getting my emails...but most people arent opening my emails.

I don't understand; why would someone sign up for a newsletter and not read any of the messages sent to them?

Anyone here have similar experiences, and perhaps a solution?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for your Time

Andrew

Do you have a double opt-in system? If you don't then your emails may be going to Spam. Have a double opt-in asking them to white list you.

Hey,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I do have double-opt in on. I just find it extremely unlikely that about 95% of my emails are not being opened. I'm really quite stumped and leaving me a little discouraged.

Open rates are very inaccurate. They are irrelevant if you are using text emails, and unreliable if you are using html emails because the subscribers may be blocking images.

If you want more accurate readership stats you could post your content on a blog and track clicks from your email through to your blog.
