If I hadent enjoyed previous postings of yours so much this one would have persuaded me to unsubscribe. The point is valid but there was no thought provoking content here.

But what you said makes absolute sense. It’s analogous to a free group I run for disordered eating. Some people love the group, some not so much (I help people discover “why” they use food, instead of focusing on the behavior itself) and once someone said, enraged, “How DARE you tell me this has something to do with thoughts or emotions? I am a food ADDICT.”

Oh-kay… She wasn’t right for the group, and not everyone is right for the list.

I feel a lot better. Thank you.

Best unsubscribe ever.

I run a blog and website on how to deal with breakups as well as improve relationships. I also offer a free e-course for those that sign up.

Just recently I had someone sign up on my email list and then immediately unsubscribe (like 45 minutes later). This person’s reason for unsubscribing was “suppose to be free”.

After looking at my AWeber stats, I noticed that this person got their 1st lesson of the ecourse and then clicked on one of my affiliate links to an ebook on how to get your ex back. I’m guessing she expected every single link within my emails to lead to a freebie. I was hoping she would have understood that the e-course itself was free, but that some links within the emails lead to relevant products for sale.

At first I was a little bummed at this unsubscribe. But after watching your video, I realized that it was probably best to let this person go. She was probably a “freebie seeker” who loves getting on different email lists to see how many freebies she can get.

We had to laugh – as that’s what marketing is all about!

i unsubscribed after 3 weeks coz they send the same sales newsletter 3x a day 5 days a week. of course i had to include my reason and i wasn’t angry or anything. i just wrote there ‘this company sends 3x a day the same email for the whole 3 weeks i’ve been a subscriber”.

guess what???

the effing owner or whoever that was sent me an email saying “f#ck you! good riddance!”

i did not reply coz i don’t want to argue with a lunatic. but i was upset coz i have every bit of reason to unsubscribe and then that person replied like that. no wonder they’re sending redundant sales letters 3x a day, 5 days a week…. THEY’RE DESPERATELY IN NEED OF CUSTOMERS!

i have the last laugh.

I don’t have any way to prevent people from sharing the emails. I give each subscriber permission to share them within their office. I have only run into 2-3 instances of people republishing this content on the Web. Based on click-throughs I don’t see any indication that people are passing the newsletters around much.
