Can someone tell me how to get your list to respond? My list is in the hundreds only but not quite responsive to my offers ... even to free offers. Am I missing something?. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.
Well... did you buy / rent that list, or build it yourself, with people mostly signing up on their own. If they came to you, they'll likely be more responsive. It could also be tied to your copywriting. Maybe you're not using the best "action" language to get them to react and actually do something. Jenn
Jenn's right, you need to make sure you're Writing is making them want more. What are your offers? Any way to see a sample Email? It's not easy to give good advice on these types of Subjects without seeing some samples. Hope this helps!
I built it with a software program and at the beginning, I had a flow of action but after it started to turn to drips, and now it seems as though the nozzle has been completely turned off. Thanks for tip.
My list is highly responsive mainly because I provide them content they want to read and not just offers...try that as well...you kind of need to build a personal relation with your list...use good subject lines, let them comment and make them feel like you're actually a friend
The responsiveness of your list often depends on how you built it in the first place. If people signed up to get something free they're probably not interested in being on the list, but if they had to double or even triple opt in - they're likely to be very interested in what you've got to say. You need to catch their eye with something.. well, eye catching. Once you've got their attention you can go about building trust and friendship with them. Freebies and interaction normally do this quite well.
I have a double optin list (people who signed up from my website), and I face a similar problem. Is there any website, which provide tips for copywriting?
www.copyblogger.com is a pretty good resource for help with copywriting. As for building list responsiveness - have a search of this (and other forums), then look for something called the "List and Traffic" newsletter using your favourite search engine.
