Perhaps i can send them a link to a page with a direct download link for a valuable gift and ask them why they left on that page and also ask them to reconsider subscribing. in other words use the gift to gather feedback and ask them to give me another chance - but without making them subscribe to get the gift. good idea Great post tim, and also good tip Chuck about sending a gift.

A factor not mentioned is the 97% who fail at IM, they don't wish to learn more, they don't wish to be reminded of their failure in their in-box. The important part is getting more people coming than going. Mailing lists are like churches, clubs, favorite restaurants (or bars), etc. People come, people go because people are people.

I use to think those people didn't like me. Now I figured if they don't want what I have to offer they can save me the bandwidth. We build lists to make sales not to make friends. Good blog post.

With all the hype one tends to think that this only happens to their list, but it is obviously a common occurrence. <a href="http://www.Online-Income-Business.com" rel="nofollow">Michelle Jayes / Online Income Opportunities</a> Hi Tim

You have to "keep yer eye on the ball' to get a sense of any trends developing in your business. However, if watching the trend consumes positive time to develop new business, then it becomes a double whammy and the time cost becomes become high. Balance is a practice that applies to all business. Finding the "sweet spot" of timing and content produces positive results. Good Point.
