There are all kinds of mailing lists. Some of you have been building up
subscribers like crazy but the topics of your emails are a far cry from Christmas
shopping. How far youll be able to go towards earning some affiliate
commissions on holiday gifts will depend a great deal on the relationship you
have built with subscribers.
If you have been all business all the time and pop up now with a hey look at this
great gift email your subscribers are going to be checking to see if someone has
hijacked your email address. Hopefully your approach has been a bit more
personable. It pays to let your subscribers catch glimpses of the human behind
the business.
You dont have to go overboard and share the emotional roller coaster of your life
with everyone, but you can share occasional stories from your home life. A family
vacation photo, a short story about how quickly your daughter learned to ride her
new bike or how Tinkle the family cat taught you a lesson in patience; these are
all great little bites of life that will help your readers feel like they are getting to
know you.
