You Can’t Help Me

Have a nice life

I woke up to that message this morning from an email newsletter subscriber. She was unsubscribing. I’m ok with that. I probably get about 10–20 unsubscribes a month maybe.

All good. People generally like to sign up, get their free gift and then bolt. I’m just as guilty of doing that but only if the person who is sending out newsletters bombards me twice a day. Then I’ll bang that unsubscribe button.

Just.please.stop.

Those who unsubscribe usually just say “I have no time to read all these” or “I get too many emails”. I get it. I try not to flood your inbox. I’m pretty inconsistent. I tell you I’ll send something out once a week but that rarely happens.

I’m working on that though.

It’s hard to deliver messages weekly that you think your peeps want to read. Some days I struggle to come up with inspirational emails. It’s hard to be a ray of sunshine all the time.

Have a nice life

I don’t usually read the unsubscribe notices. They all pretty much say the same thing. The ones that really make me laugh though go something like this:

“Who are you, what do you want, how did you get my email addy, are you a spammer, go away”
