Thanks for all the great content in 2010. I look forward to more good stuff in 2011! Have a blessed holiday.

@ Douglas:
That’s exactly what are intentions are, Doug, beginning now. We’ll still recommend products that we create or recommend, of course, because we do like to negotiate good deals for our customers, well below normal market prices.

But we’ll have a good mix of content to offers in addition. That will of course mean more emails from us, not less, but I think most serious IM’ers and customers will be very pleased with the result.

Hi, Dennis. Good stuff. I hope you keep it coming. Also, I totally agree with Diana. Most of the “newsletters” I receive are just a fast path to a pitch page -with no content to speak of. Seems to me that if you do provide some valuable content, you should stick out from much of the rest of the pack.

People sign up for newletters to have information on a specific topic sent to them. At least that is my reason.

Many of the newsletters I’ve received from even the top marketers go something like this:

Check this out…..and so you click the link and it goes to a sales page or video and that is all.

I have pared down my emails a lot. If a newsletter gives me a pitch on the second email I unsubscribe immediately.

Taking care of the person who subscribes seeking information is definitely the way to go.

@ Connie Ragen Green:
Connie, I really appreciate the kind words, I have a lot of respect for you as well, as you already know, and glad you’re on my side!

@ DeAnna Troupe:
That’s great, DeAnna, whoo hoo indeed!

Dennis,
This is excellent information that I can put into practice immediately. You are a thought leader in the online marketing space, and it is my goal to share you and your valuable information with everyone who looks to me for training on how to build a profitable business online.

This is excellent advice! It is exactly what I have been doing all along and it has finally paid off! I made my first sale from my autoresponder by marketing to the 97% instead of looking at the 3% that buys right away. Whoo hoo!
