How often do you send your list promotions?

Anyone? :confused:

Hey Dennis,

How are you contacting your list? Is it e-mail, newsletter, etc...?

I would try to give 3 good info content e-mails to every 1 promo.
This will keep folks from feeling they are being slammed with ads and not getting any content for their time.

Build a relationship with your list. Talk to them like you would your best friend. Be relaxed and treat them like a confidant.

If you are using a newsletter, have an area for ads (both your's and those you sell advertising space to). If using a newsletter approach, have your recommendation of the week (or month), where you review a product and have your affiliate link included.

But for e-mail, don't slam them with ads/pitches. I unsubscribe when I get 4 pitches in a row with no content. And I pray to God that they have a space on the unsubscribe form where I can tell them why I'm leaving.

Nurture the relationship. Don't just tell them the good of a product, tell them the bad, too. (maybe you could offer a bonus that offsets the bad, when they buy from you).

Good Luck,

Adam

Thanks 3:1 is a good ratio and what i was looking for. I'm using email.

Thanks again,
Dennis

I also think that 3:1 is good. It annoys me too when all people are sharing is pitches. I also think its okay to share tips about something, and at the end of the email credit that it is from the product you are promoting. I slip soft sells like that in sometimes, but try to use the hard sells less frequently.
