Do You Email Your List Everyday?

Neither one of you clearly know what the
hell you're talking about.

My follow out emails go out every day for first 2 weeks then every 2 days after that with broadcasts going out when a new post is added to the site or I have something else I want to tell them about (news, announcements, promo message).

My unsubscribe rate is very low, my subs are happy, and my open and click rates keep increasing.

SHOULDN'T YOU TRY TO SHARE SOMETHING OF VALUE EVERYDAY, I MEAN EVEN IF YOU SCHEDULE IT IN YOUR AUTORESPONDER YOU CAN HAVE IT GO OUT.

If your on lists that 'bang' your inbox as you say and you get 'blind' to them, then you need to be on better lists. I email my list quite often, and since I provide real and true value to my list I get thanked by them every time.

I noticed another person talking about 'list tolerance' again if your mailing awesome content that people want to get, and not just advertisements they dont have to 'tolerate' anything, since they want your emails.

Its not how often you send. Its what you send.

A little harsh but 100% truth in just about everything you said.

I treat my lists as gold. I probably spend more time with my lists getting people to unsubscribe as I do gathering new daily lead flow. I am only interested in the ones that TRULY wanted to be there in the first place.

I also highly segment my lists and know who is interested in what, which addresses how often I email them.

KNOW your lists and keep them organized. As for emailing them daily, if there is an upcoming product launch or event that one of my buyers lists would be interested in, I prep the followups with them for each day. For instance, I try to tell them at the end of one email what to expect on the next one. On the next one, I remind them what I told them I would be sending them. It tends to keep them more engaged.

Every email marketer has different approaches, but the only time you have to worry about subscribers getting "Bored" is if you don't make the content engaging and worth their while. Ask yourself when you send one of your emails if you would just delete it or would it catch your attention.

Just my 25 cents worth...

Since no one answered my question (and no one has to) I'll put in my best couple of guesses/observations.

1. Most if not 100% have NOT tested this option at all. In order to do so, they would have to go a month or a week without sending anything to their list. And one "cycle" (month/year/10 days/etc.) may not be adequate for testing purposes. Then, let's say after testing it for several cycles at a monthly frequency they'd also have to compare that to several cycles of a 3 week frequency or weekly frequency or whatever.

2. Those that do things willy-nilly (no rhyme or reason) are no worse off than those that use testing as a defense/reason but that haven't actually tested things fully.

In fact, it's the exact same situation. One set of people goes by their feelings such as not liking to be bombarded by email so they choose to email less frequently. One set of people goes by their beliefs along the lines of if a prospect isn't reading your email they may be buying somebody else's stuff so we better send all we can send.

Both, without proper testing, are guesses based on feelings.

3.Those that say less frequent emails are wrong in some way (losing money proposition) surely don't believe that long time, respected, and apparently successful marketers such as Dave Ramsey (1 x a month), Paul Myers, Terry Dean, Jimmy D. Brown, Amazon, Microsoft, Neil Patel, Yanik Silver, etc. somehow are willingly leaving tons of money on the table by not mailing daily. Maybe they don't know that emailing 10-30 x more would get them a lot more money or something????

4. Those that say that daily emails are wrong in some way, as someone mentioned it above, are probably on the wrong lists. There are a number of marketer's emails that I get on a daily basis (and some more than one email a day) and read many if not most of them as soon as they come in. A couple examples include Brian Tracy, Men's Health, Early to Rise, and Craig Ballantyne but there are others.

While I look forward to emails from these people that send stuff daily, have never unsubscribed, and have taken action on their emails, I personally have unsubscribed from or ignore many if not most of the typical churn and burn, hit them hard lists no matter their frequency frequently encouraged here. For example, most of the free tools/reports that I have signed up for on the WF in exchange for an email are on the ignore/unsubscribe list.

What you think and $1 will get you a cup of coffee in a paper cup.

If you told them you would email daily, fine.

Once you exceed the permissions given, you are spamming, whether it meets some legal definition or not.

Not long ago, I signed up for a "weekly newsletter". What I got was: NO newsletter, daily (sometimes more) affiliate pitches, daily (or more) solo ads and NO working unsubscribe link. Tell me again how I gave permission for that bullshit...

I do email every day at the start for 2 weeks approx. to keep them remember me guys)) I am here, than after 2 weeks I start to slow down and email every 3 days....

Others aren't making money

Exactly and who cares. You can't be scared of losing subs. You pay for them to be on your list, so I'm glad when they leave. I add about 100 a day and lose 20 a day.

If you make $100 a day by emailing every day, then your only goal should be to keep adding subs and keep sending emails.

If youre trying to build a following, a relationship for what ever reason than email them when you feel like it.

But if you really had that great of a relationship wouldn't they be happy to hear from you daily???

I'm currently deployed and my wife would probably be upset if I just emailed her once a week.

Lol so you only "harass" your list once a week?

I got some bad news for you bud: if you consider the emails you send "harassment" then you're in the wrong business.

I'm somewhere in the middle. I think once a week is entirely too long; there are so many other marketers' lists that your subscriber will be on and hearing from more regularly that they may just about forget who you are if you only mail them four times a month (unless you send out a boatload of gold when you do).
Everyday, on the other hand, is a bit much in my opinion. I think you only can do this successfully if you contact them everyday, but don't SELL THEM everyday. If you're providing an e-course or just giving great content, then when you DO sell them twice or three times a week, it won't come across as nagging or pushy.
Just my two cents.
