Why Do People Subscribe To A Mailing List If They Are Not Interested?
Yesterday I had someone subscribe to a mailing list I manage in order to receive the Six Figure Mentors information videos – which are free – actually they are “complimentary” – the FREE word tends to attract the wrong crowd! The funny thing is that this person unsubscribed shortly after, leaving the comment – “Not what I expected – just another internet training course”. This is BEFORE they even received the first video!
Now If you unsubscribe from a list that’s obviously your choice and one which I totally respect: Although I was bursting to reply – that’s simply not on – I’m a professional and even if my passion and belief in what I do and in what I choose to promote sometimes makes my blood boil when I get misguided, ill-informed comments like this, I do play by the rules.
We Want It Now !! – Right Now ! – No Waiting And No Work!!
This is why it’s funny though; In order to subscribe to mailing lists there is a process. You see an ad, email or banner somewhere that piques your interest. You click on it to learn more. In the case of SFM that usually takes you to a landing page, which gives you a lot more info and a choice – do you want to enter an email and receive some very detailed information?
In this case the answer was yes ….. and then no.
So a judgment was made without actually having enough information to go on …
If I’m honest though I really don’t care. It just demonstrates to me that this person is probably not the kind of person I can help or work with anyway.
Every stage in the SFM application process – the adverts, the initial landing pages and thank you pages, the videos themselves and finally the application process are very carefully designed to eliminate the opportunity seeker – the “Get rich quick” people.
Don’t Subscribe To Our Mailing List…..
To put it bluntly – neither myself or SFM wants them. We only want and can only work with, serious people who are not afraid to invest in themselves and work towards their goals. We can offer those people a ton of help: Every tool and resource they could ever need to successfully build an online business, an exceptional community and a level of mentoring that serious entrepreneurs the world over gladly pay many, many times more than the SFM platform costs.
Apologies for the rant today, but I needed to get that off my chest! – I’m not in the business of trying to persuade people to join SFM or anything else I promote. I just provide the information to people on my subscribe mailing list and let people decide for themselves if it’s something they want to proceed with. I do happily reply to people who ask me to via all of the contact details I provide.
I keep in touch with my mail subscribe lists regularly to share my experience of the bigger picture of SFM as an affiliate and founder member – Everyday I see this changing peoples lives in so many ways – I actually feel It’s actually my duty to share this very unique opportunity to the best of my ability. So if it’s not of interest to people that’s fine by me, but I do ask that people don’t insult me with a comment based on a complete lack or knowledge or experience!
