I have been in this business over four months. One thing I’ve learned: don’t sign up for every little free offer of a report or free e-book. Why? Look at my inbox. I’m getting a gazillion messages offering more freebies.
Now I know that we all want to build our email lists so that we can sell our product. Heck, even I have one on this site. But, sending out autoresponder emails emails everyday? Sometimes those offers are for the same thing.
At first, I read everyone of those emails and clicked through to see what was being sold. Most of the links offered very similar product each in its own niche. But how many gurus are out there? What’s really annoying are the emails from one source that send you a shotgun splattering of unrelated offers.
There’s niche finding, article writing, secret tools, keyword tools, and the biggest of them all – LIST BUILDING. One guy has sent 19 messages in 14 days. Another has sent the same message with the same offer three times in two days.
I guess it works. But it is very annoying. You can’t call it spam because you opted-in. You can always unsubscribe or wear out the delete key.
Lesson: Opt-in only if you really want the freebie that’s being offered. Choose your purchases carfully. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
PS: You can opt-in on this site on the Free Stuff page!
