How Often Do You Do Adswaps?

4 replies
I have been doing adswaps for over a month now but I think I am over doing it. I have seen some unsubscriptions everytime a swap is made and I was wondering am I doing it wrong. Typically, I am doing about 2 swaps a week, i want to know what is the optimum number of swaps I should be doing without increasing the unsubscription rate?

Also, I am doing PPC, Solo Ads, Article marketing to generate more opt-ins, is there other methods which can increase my opt-in as well? I am trying to not rely too much on adswaps even though it's a good method.

    You will always be getting some unsubs.. some just want to get their free gift and then they almost immediately unsub.. 2x a week isn't bad.. there ares ome marketers sending out 2x a day which is a bit much..

    More important though is what are you sending to your list? If you are sending valuable content and not spamming with tons of links and products you'll be ok.

    Giveaways are another way to receive optins.. check for those with big names as there will likely be more promotion... not to leave off others though.. one you still have time to get in on thenewyeargiveaway.com/contributor.php?id=39

  • I have managed lists for over 8 years now. 2 a week is ok, but if you are ramming buy buy buy messages at them you will run in to problems.

    I would prefer to do one a week and make the 2nd mailing of the week something purely helpful, nothing to buy.

    That way they will look forward to your emails and not worry about the occassional sales message.

    And keep the products related to what they signed up for.

    2 times a week is probably perfect. I am also doing 2 a week and it is working out well. You only want to send out free offers if your doing adswaps some people can be sneaky and try to put some paid promotional ads in you have to watch it. And that is not good

    But 2 times a week is perfect in my opinion. Do not worry that much about the unsubscribes like previously stated that is just the nature of the beast ( freebie seekers ) You want to keep them as low as possible but you will always have unsubscribes even if your doing everything right. Especially in the IM niche.
