Why So Many Emails, Chuck?

I've received a number of complaints about the amount of email I have been sending to my pre-launch list and to my regular craft business email list over the past week about my new product, "How to Start Your Own Craft Business." So I'm going to explain the logic behind the flurry of emails, and I hope you'll understand...

As someone who has been selling information products on the Internet for over four years
now, I have seen a lot of changes in the way that email has been treated. When I started out, email was received as a novelty, and everyone looked forward to receiving emails.

But with all of the dirtbag spammers who have come out of the woodwork over the past few
years, emails are now very difficult to get through to the intended audience. Filters and a general dislike for email have reduced emails effectiveness so that emails have trouble getting delivered, let alone getting read. Basically, most email is viewed as "junk mail."

So, in order to get my message through, I tend to send out a lot of email around events like
the launch of my new product. With people being busy, emails getting filtered or just plain lost, and a general disregard for junk email, I try to keep my message in front of the readers who are interested in starting and running their own craft business.

I know I can be a bit long-winded, but I truly believe in my products and I know they can help people in achieving their dreams of being their own boss in a business they love.

So, if you don't like all the emails, you have a couple of options:

1. Just delete the emails - this is the easiest thing you can do (like throwing out your junk mail, except you're not filling up our landfills).
2. Unsubscribe from the list - it's not going to hurt my feelings, and if you don't think the information can help, then you should just click the unsubscribe link.

I hope this clears things up about my email plans. I am going to be sending out more emails this week leading up to the end of the launch promotion - midnight EST on Friday. So don't be surprised if you see 4 or 5 more emails about the launch - I'm that passionate about the new product, and I want as many people as possible to take advantage of this special promotion.

Thanks,

Chuck
