OK I bought your WSOs, but don't email me 120 emails!

I totally agree with txconx. How hard is it to send out a simple survey and ask the people if they just want just the update notifications or if they want to receive other offers as well and just segregate the lists. Hell they can even give them that option on the thank you/download page for that matter. It’s a great way to keep people happy and avoid having them unsubscribe from the list.

After all a happy customer is a loyal customer…

This actually makes so much sense that I'm thinking there must be marketers that have already gone this route. It is too bad (ridiculous really) to have to have to choose between missing updates on what you bought, and being inundated with several emails per day.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to use surveys, as Tim Castleman did a while back, to ask subscribers how often they'd like to hear from you. Maybe a cool software app would be something to integrate your autoresponder with a survey and a list segmentation tool, so that depending on their answers on the desired frequency of contact question, they get added to the autoresponder series that goes out as often as they said they want to hear from you.

Obviously, there will still be complainers who forgot who you are, but that should cut way back on it.

You don't want to have people on your list that really don't like your stuff, but they stay on to avoid missing updates. Much better to have one less subscriber, or a subscriber you only promote to once a month, and still likes you, than a pissed off one! Some wise marketers have pointed out that the IM axiom, "the money is in the list", should really be phrased, "the money is in the RELATIONSHIP with the list". It shouldn't be one where the members feel they need a relationship therapist to help them deal with anger issues.

...What she said

A big thanks to everyone who has informed me there is an unsubscribe option.

Wow I didn't know that!

sarcasm ending. I really did know that.

Yes the quality of your content is important, but sadly most people who send out the most emails usually contain constant barrage of affiliate offers. But even good content like water is good for you but you can even overdose on those :-)

All those from the school of it doesn't matter how many emails you send out as long as I'm making money. Great if that's working for you. If 1 email a day is good, why not test 10 per day or 100 per day? Who knows sending out a 100 emails per day to your list may drive away 95% of your list but if you are making more money then that's all that matters right?

There are lot's of ways to make money (and more money) but I guess we all need to decide how we will and how we won't do business.

Were you expecting something different when you created this thread?

Sarcasm usually breeds sarcasm... negativity breeds negativity...

Yes, but you have to consider the seller... You wouldn't want to work hard to create a product then not be able to capture that customer's email address? That's like throwing hundred dollar bills out the window...

Granted, there are others measures you can take, for example I use the integration between Imnica and WSO Pro to automatically add folks to my list when they purchase WSOs because I hate opting in after purchase too, but I know that I would be doing the same if I didn't have the integration options available...

Getting 20 emails a day? Yeah, you're definitely getting an Unscubscribe from me. I also can't stand when people tweet constantly in a day...they also get deleted.
