YOUR LIST?
It’s great to be told that you need to build
a list which you can send emails to. The
problem is that once you have all the
technical stuff set up, you don’t always
know what to put in your emails.
3. WHEN AND WHAT TO EMAIL TO
YOUR LIST?
One big question that I often get asked is how
often to email a list. This can be a difficult
question to answer. First it will depend on how
you train your list from the beginning. If you only
send out rare emails your list is likely to forget
who you are. So when you do send out an email it
will probably go unnoticed.

On the flipside if you always send out
regular emails from the start, you are
training your subscribers to expect an
email from you every few days. Some
marketers successfully email their lists
several times a day!
5. WHEN AND WHAT TO EMAIL TO
YOUR LIST?
From our experience we find that most
people don’t mind 3 or 4 emails each week.
This is as long as you provide great content
that is helpful and informative.
So what type of content can you offer?

This is the next problem that marketers have.
Sending out the first few emails is easy and
you have lots to say. But as the weeks go on
you don’t always know what to say, and this is
when you start to email less frequently.

Here’s some great ways to find content. One
of the easiest ways is to set up a Google Alert
in your business or niche. Then you simply
talk about the latest news in this area. The
same can be done with an RSS feed, set up a
RSS Reader and each morning check it for
updates.

Other ideas for content include talking about
business related news and news about your
local area. You may support a charity or
organization and this gives you something to
talk about. Maybe you are into a certain
sports team or have hobby that you do
regularly.

You can also send links to things on your
Facebook page that you like as well as your
blog posts. When you start looking for things
to write about you will be amazed at how
many ideas come to you.
10. WHEN AND WHAT TO EMAIL TO
YOUR LIST?
By talking about other things in your emails
you are presenting yourself as a ‘real’ person.
This is so important as you want your list to
know who you are and what is happening in
your life. When you do this you may just be
surprised at how many of your subscribers
start sending you emails.
