Somebody ‘unsubscribed’ from my blog on Friday.
That’s uncommon. I get lots of [new] subscribers signing up each week, but relatively few (if any) unsubscribers.
So I always sit up and take notice when anyone unsubscribes. Especially because when anyone unsubscribes they get the chance to tell me why.
Sometimes those comments are really helpful. They make me blog better. However, yesterday the person who unsubscribed simply left the following parting comments…
“Unattractive and boring”.
OK, those comments are not very helpful… but that wasn’t my first thought.
My first thought was…
S A Y W H A T ! ? ! ?
Boring? Am I really? Hopefully my friends don’t think I’m boring… and I have it on very good authority (OK, my wife) that I’m attractive. 
So he was (hopefully) talking about my blog.
The strange thing is… the day he unsubscribed, I’d just given away a web script. For free. Did you see that? It was in a link at the end of my last post.
If you didn’t see the link, or realise what it was, let me explain so you don’t miss it…
That little script can be the difference between 100% Internet Business Automation, or being chained to your desk at a specific date and time.
How? Well it allows you to run 24 hour specials (or any ‘XX’ hour specials) on your blog (a VERY powerful strategy… it’s how I make most of my money through this blog) and at the end of the special, have the price automatically increase to full price.
Dr. Martin Russell got that. Check out his comments.
He commented that being able to automate price increases at the end of 24 hour specials was literally the final element in him being able to 100% automate his blog marketing. (I suspect that like mine, his blog is the hub of his online marketing operations.)
On the subject of ‘unatrractive (blog)’…
Yes, I agree with my unsubscriber… this site isn’t ‘exciting’ or contain any fancy ‘branding’. (Maybe I’ll play around with the graphic design some day, but it’s definitely not a priority.)
Helping you, my reader/business owner most definitely is a strong priority… and that goal can only be achieved by providing quality content (blog posts) as frequently as I can.
If you get excited about the prospect of discovering ways of selling more online and exploding your customer base by hundreds of percent in just a few days or less, of scientifically optimising your marketing strategy and blogging as a means of growing a business… then I welcome you to stay subscribed.
If not, or you simply think I’m a boring bugger or unattractive then feel free to unsubscribe any time… (but “Shhhshhh…… don’t tell my wife”.)
Yours interestingly,
Ed.
PS. Comments are open. Click the ‘comment’ link below and leave me a note… how do you find this blog?
And if I don’t get ANY comments then I’ll assume you all LOVE this blog to bits, and can’t get to sleep at night in anticipation of my next post.
Or maybe you think it is boring. If so, please leave a comment and tell me to buck my ideas up! (And helpfully tell me how.)
For example am I covering topics that interest you? Or do you want a change of tack?
(Most recently the focus has been on creating video based information products to grow your front-end business customer and client base and earn extra money online… and also the topic of blogging itself. In both cases I’ve also backed up my free blog posts with two… if I may say so… exceptional products.)
What topics do you want more of? What do you want less of?
I look forward to hearing from you in the comments… or vote your 100% unconditional love of this blog by staying silent.
