    Do you have a specific strategy on how to treat your optin-list?

    I am a member of many lists, and I see that a lot of people use different strategies regarding how to treat their optin-list.

    Here are a few options:
    • Some people sends out a newsletter once a week (maybe more often, maybe less..) and that's all.
    • Some people sends out an e-mail once a day or so regarding their new blogposts (they urge people on their lists to comment)
    • Some people only sends out sends out offers to new more or less interesting programs (they only use their list to earn money)
    • Some people combine all three, and sends out e-mail every time they have something on their mind
    I am wondering, how do you treat your list do you have a specific strategy?

    The reason I am asking is that I am currently just sending out one e-mail a week as my newsletter, but I am not getting much response... and I'd like more response to what I am doing (if they like it or hate it).

    Thanks

    Jens

    Some people are just sending a bunch of sales pitches to their lists, people will unsubscribe fast.Always over-deliver, and don´t just send out "money-emails"! Send useful reports, links to videos and so on.I send a new email to my list every 3 days, and the response has been great so far.

    How often do you send emails to your list?

    I mainly follow one list that I am subscribed to and I do it because she keeps is personal and always offers advertising resources that work

    I am watching different lists because I am doing the same as you getting my list email strategy together to make it effective and worth my time.
