Feedback please people

I’ve noticed a few people unsubscribing after recent ‘Top 10 Links of the Week’ posts and wondered if doing this weekly is a bit too much. Instead of making that decision myself, I thought I’d throw it out to you lot. What do you think? Is once a week too much? Should I move it to once a month? What would be useful for you?

All feedback welcome in the comments box below.

Thanks

    I don’t think once a week is too much. I get a couple other sites that email me the 10 most popular links once a week.

    Maybe play around with the day of the week or number of links. I work weekends and when I have downtime is when I scan my Google Reader. For me, posts like that are a great weekend read.

    Im going to leave this comment from Paul Sutton here myself (he sent it on Twitter). I’d like to collate them all in one place:

    Paul Sutton: For me the top 10 posts dominate & I never read them. Wld prefer more ‘content’

    Thanks again Paul

    Maybe give a view or indicator on why links have been selected, as some of the links I have already seen via Twitter and sometimes arm simply to lazy to click through!

    Hi Gem,

    I think it’s great that you’re reaching out and asking people what they’d like in their inbox.

    I have to say I agree the Top 10 articles dominate. I don’t feel like I receive anything else from you(?), not sure if that’s a glitch or that’s just what you send out most often.

    I delete the Top 10 e-mails without reading (I have enough content to absorb via Twitter, other feeds, e-mails, blog updates, etc.). However, I would definitely value more in-depth insights into marketing trends, that kind of thing.

    You’re a thought leader, Gem – keep up the good work!

      Thanks Nikki, that’s really useful (and extra thanks for the compliment)

        No problem – happy if I’m able to help.

        Without a doubt, you have a lot of good stuff to say. It’s just time constraints sometimes mean you have to be a bit selective, unfortunately.
