Thanks Will. I’ve heard good things about “Mass Control” 🙂 The tried-and-true stuff tends to get around because it’s indeed so effective. Thanks for reading!

Hey Kareem!

Great post. I’ve found out about email drip marketing a few years ago from the “shady internet marketers” such as Frank Kern’s “Mass Control” products and it’s fascinating to see the same techniques and sequences surfacing in the mainstream.

But it works. Thanks for providing so much value as I learn a lot from your posts. 🙂

– Will

Thanks for the comment, Chris. I agree that pressuring people to buy probably isn’t ideal, but I think timing between emails is more a function of the product you’re selling and should be tested.

I think that the key to these sort of email campaigns is to spread it out over 3 or 4 weeks, in addition to providing information and value. If you compress the timeline too much (such as every day or every 2-3 days), you might get better results in the short term, but you will be alienating the majority of your potential long term customers. People don’t like to feel pressured to buy something, particularly if they haven’t figured out if it has value for them yet. By sending emails too often that’s what you’re doing.
