Thank You for Unsubscribing! You Made My Day!

Hello Everyone:

One of my blogging colleagues Melanie Kissell from Solo Mompreneur  posted an article titled “Are People Unsubscribing from your list?”

People subscribe to your list because you offer an ebook, report, newsletter and other goodies. They are not committed to be on your list for the long-haul. Do not take it personally if they unsubscribe. It’s just business.

I had no clue of what it was like being unsubscribed until I starting sending out newsletters and videos out to the people that subscribed to my list. Now, I learned first hand of what it’s like to experience being unsubscribed by others. I just wanted to say. “ Thank You for Unsubscribing! You Made My Day!

Here are three lesson that I learned from being unsubscribed.

1) People sign up for so many free offers that it gets so overwhelming when they start receiving tons of emails on a daily basis. One unsubscriber wrote that the information was good, but it was way too much. Great feedback. Maybe I should scale back from 7 days of information to 5 days of information. Thank You for sharing.

2) Those subscribers who stay on your list will want to receive your emails whether it is on a daily, weekly or on a monthly basis. If they are no longer interested in you, they will unsubscribe.

3) Do not take it personally. When people unsubscribe, it does not mean they do not like you or your product/service. They joined wanting your free ebook or tip sheet and the information you offered. There is no obligation for the subscriber to stay on for the long run.

Relating with people online is so different then meeting someone face to face. Again people buy from those who they know, trust and like. People subscribe for many reasons as well as unsubscribe too. That’s why there is a comment box when they unsubscribe asking them why.

What has been your experience with people subscribing or unsubscribing? We love to hear from you.

Happy Blogging!
