Default Anyone else feel like Yaro mails out too much?

Yaro mails out some pretty high quality content, which is a relief in this industry. But anyone think he mails out too much? I have a feeling he might be hurting his business; as someone who appreciates the quality, I'm still subscribed, but I have a feeling that's going to change pretty soon.

I get mailed about once every other day... and I think that should be more like once a week. Anyone else have any feedback here?

Nope, doesn't bother me at all.

If the quality stays top notch and it is worth reading, then I have no problems with folks that mail out 3-5 times per week.

If it's just pitch after pitch after pitch, then it doesn't matter how often or how seldom they mail out, I'll unsubscribe. Yaro hasn't fallen into that trap yet.

I never used to think so before, but recently I began thinking that Yaro is actually kinda on the low end of the spectrum in terms of quantity, the only person I can think of who is lower is the Bencivenga Bullets which are mailed out once a month.

What made me think this was first of all being a part of Rich Schefren's email list, as much as I love Rich and his work, I actually unsubscribed because it lacked relevance at the time and was so much and so far the grand daddy in terms of quantity is Perry Marshall.

I am signed on to two of his lists and every day I get AT LEAST an email and in every email it ends with a pitch. Love Perry and his work too and think he is a genius but that is definitely a little much and I usually don't read the emails unless the headline really grabs me.

Yaro on the other hand I always read because its like getting my Sunday paper with the special section that comes out only once a week.

However, your problem is probably coming from the fact that he is emailing you lessons AND the Blog Traffic Tips AND the promotions. What I recommend you do is if you are using Gmail is to set your emails so that all the e-lessons are immediately archived and placed in a folder called "Blog Mastermind Lessons" or something equivalent.

Then when you are ready to work on your weekly lessons, you refer to the folder. That will definitely lessen the pressure. That's what I did and so far it has worked great for me.

Sorry this response was so long

I think it depends on how many of his mailing lists you have subscribed too. Which lists are you on?

It is true that Yaro mails a lot. Still, the content has quality. I keep all mails in a separate folder, so I do not see what is the problem.

Question How much is too much?

Personally I don't think that Yaro mails out too much or too little. For me every day is too much but less than once a week is too little. I have been on lists where you feel like you are getting bombarded with email, with very little content except affiliate links.

As others have commented, it's not too bad if there's something worth reading

Default Think his emails are about right, sending them wise but

I think he's diluting his own message by promoting all the 'big guru' launches 2-3 days in a row. If you've been online over 24 hours, you probably are already on their lists so it does get a bit aggravating.

I now subscribe through my Google Reader, so I can read them as I get to them instead of the clog in my email. Might want to try resubscribing in a reader, then unsubscribe from the email list.

I use google apps for domains with a widescreen monitor, so I can see a snippet of the email w/o actually clicking into it. It makes it pretty easy for me to skip the guru style emails from all of my lists when I'm not interested in the product.

I appreciate every single bit of information that Yaro hands out. I've learned alot reading and listening to Yaro and I think I can speak for a lot of people and say they've had the same experience.
