That's a great question, Anne. I suspect there will always be turnover, and maybe it's not noticed for a year or so.

Of course, if the second marketer is getting good results with the constant blasts, it will continue until sometime past the time when it doesn't work. Your unsubscribes may be part of a trend. Would be interesting to know how long it takes them to notice.

LOL Cathy, I'm sure you are. :) And it shouldn't get to the point where people stay with you only because they admire you for your past work. If I didn't have the same knowledge you do, I'd have unsubscribed ages ago.

Deceptive ad, isn't it? I've not seen it (have I?), but neither impression you mention would be one I'd be willing to send.

Why do I have a feeling I am a recipient of that same marketer? ;-) I am also to the Unsubscribe stage. If I hadn't admired the person's work so much in the past and felt the person delivers high quality, I would have unsubscribed long ago.

I also hate those "only 2 spots" left. I've been watching an ad of a "limited supply - only 100 produced" of a certain product for months. Either people hate the product or they're lying about the number produced (or both)). ;-)
