In this post, you mention that you can't have the emails too long since readers are used to sending and receiving emails that are a few lines. Could you please tell me the number of words or lines you like to stay within for each email? Thanks so much for the great work! Sincerely, Shawn Hey Pat,

Great series you’ve got going here!

In this post, you mention that you can’t have the emails too long since readers are used to sending and receiving emails that are a few lines.

Could you please tell me the number of words or lines you like to stay within for each email?

Thanks so much for the great work!

Sincerely,
Shawn

For example, surveys, contests, or posts to come back to a video or blog post have all done very well to break from the normal "feed me information" mentality that most publishers assume readers want, but that send them scrambling for the delete button.

Very good stuff. I love it very much. I actually preach against comments like "I love this article", but I can't write anything else. :) I also had to dig in the e-mail archive to see the "filter" message, as I didn't remember it. And you are also very good in explaining the advantages of the deterrent message... Managers actually use "filters" in their daily lives. If you want to reach someone in a large company, you have the first "filter" in form of receptionist, then the admin and only after "defeating" those two you see the actual person you are looking for. I really hadn't thought about implementing "filter" to the mailing list. Thank you! Hi Pat,

I would imagine knowing that we are actually interested would be of great benefit to you when it comes to creating the content for it. No one wants to create email content if they think it will be deleted without being read. Great tactic! :) The use of a filter email is a great way to ensure you are only communicating with folks that are actually interested and listening.

The basis of the article said that if someone signs up for something, they are reaching out to you, but too often we reach back to them with a static HTML page that says "Thanks for signing up". It's sort of like "don't call us, we'll call you". It's kind of silly when you think of it, huh? I totally like the idea of replying back right away, but if you look at this article, they highlighted their FB fanpage on the "Thank You" page and increased fans by 10 TIMES! This is "Low-Hanging" fruit that could totally be taken advantage of. http://bit.ly/dcYswO I recently read this article based on A/B testing and utilizing the “Thank You” page to really connect with readers.

It was a nice surprise to actually look forward to an e-mail message. I forgot to mention earlier that your SPI list is the first one that didn’t spam me with a sales pitch in the first message.

Creating a newsletter has been on my mind a lot lately so this series is perfect timing for me. I especially like your idea of asking what future blog posts subscribers would like to see. I'm very protective with my time so currently only subscribe to a couple of newsletters - real estate investing and Internet marketing. Lately I've been leaning toward subscribing to your newsletter and now your clever [obviously effective!] use of this series was the trigger for me to make it happen.  :)   I can see your logic with the filter email idea, but probably wouldn't implement it myself until after I had a subtantial list of 3-5,000. Although I see how a more committed list that was built using this filtering system could be effective for accomplishing higher conversion rates which could then be useful in attracting advertisers. (Am I right?) I'll keep thinking about this one and may change my mind about waiting... :)             I appreciate your commitment to delivering quality content.   Kudos!

I think it would really help a site owner determine who is truly interested in reading his content. Interesting point about the filter email idea.
