Honestly, most are doing email marketing completely ass-backwards. By that, I&#8217;m referring to the frequency of communication.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re on my list, you understand that you&#8217;ll get an email from me at least twice per week. Sometimes I may also send up to 5 emails in a week.<\/p>\n<p>The inexperienced marketer may say that&#8217;s just way too many emails, but here&#8217;s the deal.<\/p>\n<p>My content is not for everyone and I frankly I don&#8217;t want just anyone on my email list. I want people who are committed that I can build a relationship with, provide great business-building strategies to, and empower them with a skill-set that pays them over and over for life.<\/p>\n<p>For every unsubscribe I get due to &#8220;way too many emails,&#8221; I gain 97 more email subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>Far too many times businesses and marketers are concerned about the wrong things. I (like you should be) could care less about those that unsubscribe from my list or no longer elect to be a Facebook fan. I&#8217;m only looking to attract a certain type of person and not trying to appeal to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Think about this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>How often do you communicate with your best friend or close members of your family? There&#8217;s a good chance you talk to, Skype, or email them multiple times per week. Right?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m going to strongly encourage you to treat your email list like your family and keep in contact with them at minimum of a couple times per week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is hands-down one of the most important ways to build an active and responsive tribe. A few years ago I was skeptical until I began to send more emails myself. A funny thing happened, as I began to get more traffic, better social activity, and many more sales.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d recommend that 80% of your email content be value-driven and the other 20% be promotional. Also, train your readers to click. I go into that more in-depth in <em>The Ultimate Email Marketing Domination Guide<\/em> at the link below.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p>Did you like this post?
