    Hey all,

    I'm currently creating a full e-mail affiliate marketing course, which I will be giving out for free, in return for subscriber lists of newbie affiliates.

    I've got it all together, but now for the actual compartmentalization of the course, I'm at a dilemma.

    Should I create a detailed, but long [2-3 weeks, each day] marketing course, with shorter-sized emails?

    Or should I create a 1-2 week course which has a ton of content in each email?

    I really want to give everyone a full overview and a good comfort level with affiliate marketing, but I'm not sure if I should do one or the other for them not to give up.

    Thanks,
    Vadym

    I would suggest 2-3 weeks program because it will give time to newbies to digest the info and understand it comfortably. In the other case if you send them emails with lots of content then they can get confused, lose interest, and may have difficulty in understanding the material. In other words there's a probability that they might get overwhelmed with lots of info.

    Alright, terrific, I was thinking the bombard of emails on a daily basis with lessons might get them to stop opening it altogether.

    So... people can send me daily PMs asking for help in aff marketing, but they can't type in "short" or "long"?

    Go figure.

    I made it easy. There's a poll now.

    I would definitely suggest giving the affiliates a three week email course, because there is a whole heck of a lot of information to be had in marketing.

    Furthermore, I would arrange the information and sort it so that the affiliate can benefit from the first couple of email lessons and give them with those beginning email lessons, tasks that they can get to work and push towards their goals.

    Don't make your emails too long. I reckon people get annoyed if its too long to read. So I guess split it up accordingly.

    Second option man, but yes, don't make your emails too long, don't add useless stuff, pure unique and useful content. ;)

    Lol Claudio, if it was junk I wanted to email, I'd have finished this a long time ago, and wouldn't have asked for public opinions :p
