When is the best time to send a follow-up email after an initial offer? And how many follow-ups can/should be sent? I read somewhere the 7 follow-ups is good…is this not too much?

Great Question no more than 3 emails a week. A follow up email it is good to send one out immediately while your offer is still fresh in their minds.

A good trick is to offer a higher price initially then in email 1 offer the item at a discount. That works well if you can do it like that.

One other thing don’t blast them with too many offers they could start blocking your emails. Try to find some good related information to pass on for free, that will keep them interested. One more thing at the end of you emails Send out offers after your email in a ps. or pss. format.

As for the 7 follow ups. that might be a myth.

ps. You can buy this widget at a great bargain price
