That is definitely the question!

Today I’d like to talk about a topic that I have been thinking about for a while now and after reading a colleagues blog post on the same subject I decided that today I would make my own post and a promise to my subscribers.

The subject is “How many emails do you send to your list?”

Now anyone who has followed my progress will know that I have built my list quite quickly using the medium of adswaps.

The first part of the plan was to join giveaways until I reached approx 200 subscribers then to start ad swapping with other marketers (basically sending their offer to my list in return for them doing the same for me to their list).

Using this method I rocketed up to over 2000 subscribers in a very short space of time. I have also tried to take the time to build up the relationship that I have with my readers but I believe that I am negating that with continuing to put out so many adswaps. I have certainly cut down the number I send out but probably not enough.

Now although it is too late to do anything about my March ads that are already scheduled and arranged to go out I can make a pledge that from April onwards I will no longer inundate my subscribers with daily emails offering other members products.

No sirree bob. This is a transitional moment for me and no longer will I be one of “those” marketers. I will set my own agenda. I won’t get hung up on hearing other marketers whooping about reaching the 3k or 4k mark. Yeaaah for meeee!! Whoooo!.

I also pledge that I will not promote a product that I haven’t seen and tried for myself.  And if I have tried it I will review it honestly for my subscribers and let them make their own minds up about whether it will be right for them.

No more.  I have a lot more to offer my subscribers.

So what will I do instead to build my business?

Well I will attempt to keep you informed of my progress in this blog. I’ve never quite been in the habit of adding a post every other day but in order to keep you informed I will attempt to do that. And that will go out as an email to my subscribers. Lol

So if anyone wants to give me any hints or tips on how to build my list without the use of ad swaps then I’d be delighted to hear them.

So I am moving into a new stage of my business. I hope you’ll stay around to see how it goes.

Kind Regards

Andy
