Simple question on autoresponders vs newsletters / broadcasts
Here's my simplistic thinking..so apologies if it sounds trivial to anyone 
Say you have a list (in this particular case one of my IM niches) and mail them say 4 times a week
1. You can either choose to write the contents/promo/whatever emails on a daily basis as you go (that's what I mean by "newsletter / broadcast", depending with autoresponder you use)
2. Or you can choose to program an autoresponder series with pretty much the same content. And if you need to send any time-sensitive promo/JV/etc you can just send it as an additional broadcast / newsletter
The advantage of 2 is that you know for sure that every subscriber in your list receives the same emails
A slight disadvantage is that in some instances subscribers may receive more than one email from you a day and that may annoy them. But I think if your autoresponder sequence is decently spaced between messages (say every 2/3 days) this should be a minimal risk
Question: isn't it better to go for a type 2 solution and that ensures none of your work writing the emails to your list goes "wasted" for the subscribers that join at a later date?
Guess you can only find out the real answer by testing but wondering if anyone had had similar experieces / ideas?
Hope the question makes sense..
PS: appreciate many people use a combination of both autoresponders and newsletters / broadcasts..and I do too. Just wondering if a "pure" autoresponder solution would be more time-efficient...
