I have lots of stuff come into my inbox without subscribing to anything. I read the headlines and might delve deeper into something that piques my interest. 

Intelligent, unbiased well-written content.

I can't keep up with the reading that comes to me unsolicited but in which I fine interest. I do not seek to subscribe to more. My day is already full.

Anything we do to share with another has to answer the time-honored: "What's in it for me" question. It can be general or subjective in the answering. Things pertinent to my own little world get my full attention. What I choose has to have meaning & purpose with entertainment coming in a weak last as I enjoy each moment for Life's sake. Because I do much reading, ask a lot of questions, and have always been a guy on the front lines, no need for others' opinions as the living of my life gives great input & feedback. Good question thank you

usefulness or entertaining.... it's really a win when it's both.  I subscribe to the GREC newsletter (monthly) which isn't near as good as it used to be when it was in print.  I also subscribe to my power company's newsletter that has some cool recipes and some really helpful tips. 

What I hate is ending up on lists and getting things I never subscribed to, that is a huge turn off and probably would stop me from doing business with them.

I do not subscribe to newsletters.

I do read various non-real estate blog posts on subjects that interest me. 

I enjoy my USCCA monthly newsletter.  It's filled with actual cases, charges and outcomes to know where and who membership benefited.  It's the one "membership" I feel benefits me the most.

Nothing, newsletters were popular in an age when we were not constantly bombarded with information from all directions.

I do get several dozen newsletters in my email and regular mail, most from people that feel that I need their newsletter more than I feel that I need them.

Unfortunately, most get ignored and never read, a total waste time for those who worked so hard to produce and distribute them.

No I do not. There aren't many people that actually do a good job at one. Some send a short video vs printed info. It all depends on how the sender is viewed. If you are not comfortable with video - please don't do it!

Does it count if I read your Friday newsletter?🙃 

And I just signed up for Tim Ferris. Thank you, John Meussner 

I read the topics that interest me. We get the WSJ and I scan the paper and read the items that I personally find interesting. My husband might read different things. So, when it comes to newsletters, I do the same. If it interest me I read it and if not I delete. I don't subscribe to many because there is a lot of click bait. The headline might seem interesting but the body of the article is junk. One too many newsletters like that and its cancelled. 

If there's a subject that interests me, I read it but I don't subscribe to newsletters.

Typically no. I have already ended up on enough lists, that I am going crazy trying to sort through everythig and do not welcome more inbox stuffing material. 

It has to be interesting without a wall of words

If it's of interest to me personally or contains relevant information about my business, I'll hit the subscribe button, John. Otherwise, I typically set it up to go directly to either my news, junk or trash folder.

Generally, I get onto a list by opting in for a free opt-in or a bundle where I sign up for products.  My email list is my most valuable and profitable asset.

In an industry, like real estate, where there are a lot of competitors, most are lukewarm. same in blogging.  Differentiate yourself by your opt-in and value you provide.

I get lots of compliments about my emails as I both try to provide value as well as I'm honest and down to earth.

I lose interest and unsub from the ones who don't.

I also find it valuable to subscribe to others that may be in my same area or complementary.  Usually 10% of them are good.

Like others have said, we don't have to subscribe to anything, we get so many newsletters without asking.   I unsubscribe to many, too many get emailed to me on a daily basis.

Nina Hollander, Broker and I are on the same wavelength!
