Jason Better posted an interesting topic on his blog earlier today about how often should you email your list. Jason’s answer (and mine too!) was very simply EVERY TIME THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET AWAY WITH IT!
Now, for a lot of people, this probably sounds like overkill. Especially if you’re not used to cranking out content on a regular basis. But, no need to fear, true believer. You can create content to send to your subscribers just as easily as you can anything else.
It doesn’t have to be hard, doesn’t have to eat up a lot of your time, and the results you’ll get from being active and involved with your list will far outweigh any negatives you can think of.
If you’re developing a relationship with your list and not just slinging a bunch of “BUY THIS NOW!” links at them, a funny thing will happen. They’ll see you as a trusted source of great info and you’ll become an adviser to them, not just another marketing guru trying to pump them for every dollar that they have.
I’m not saying that you should never make an offer to your list, whether it’s for one of your products, an affiliate product, or a presentation of your primary business. Not at all. I’m saying that it can’t be the driving force for your content. People will get sick of you very quickly if that’s all you can do.
So, where do you get content to send to your list? How do you keep them enthralled and begging to send them more stuff?
Easy. If you’ve been reading any of my stuff lately on content creation, you’ll see that you can simply apply any of those steps to create content for your email list.
You don’t have to come up with something completely new. Heck, you don’t even have to write a big long email. If you’ve got some great new posts at your blog, just tell them about it!
Here’s a sample email that I’ve used with my own list that takes a grand total of about 30 seconds to compose, link, and send.
(Exact email copy begins here. Feel free to use this for your own list. Just make sure you send them to your blog. Or, you can send them to mine if you feel like it!)

Subject: Some good stuff just for you…
Good Morning! I just put something up at my blog that I thought you’d love. It’s all about what I learned after watching the latest episode of “Celebrity Apprentice” and how you can apply it to your network marketing business.
What I learned from Celebrity Apprentice
I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the post. Leave your comments, and feel free to share the post with your Facebook and Twitter friends.

And that’s it! You don’t have to create something special just for your email subscribers all the time. You should every now and then, since they did give you their email and all, but sometimes you can just send them to your blog.
Send them to an article you just had published.
Send them to a video you just made.
Or, if nothing else, just send them an email that tells them “thanks” for being one of your subscribers. You’d be surprised how much this will make you an absolute rock star in their minds.
Whatever you do, start talking to your email subscribers. They want to hear from you, so give them what they want. Then the next time you do make them an offer, you’ll be amazed at what will happen.
Now, if you enjoyed this post, just go ahead and click the little blue and green buttons up near the top. You know, the ones that say “Retweet” and “Share”. Yep, those buttons right up there. But only if you really liked it!
While you’re here, have we connected on Facebook and Twitter yet? No? Why not? I’d love to connect with you!

Awesome Mike,
I think people over think this too much. If you write a blog post then copy and paste a portion of it to share through e-mail… not the whole thing of course… push send… done.
I feel sorry for anybody who is trying to write separate daily content for their list… but there are some things you only want to let your subscribers in on… they hear about it before anybody else.
Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks Jason!
You're absolutely right. Your subscribers should see some stuff that is not available to the general reader. But, if you're creating something for your subscribers, give a little tease of it to the rest of the folks.
You're still only creating one piece of content, but now you're using it to communicate with your list AND as another lead generation device.
I love lead generation devices. I need a few more in my utility belt…
Thanks for dropping in Jason! Very cool to see you in this neck of the woods!
