KUDOS news is back...

kudos · 04-10-10, 04:31 PM

Hi,

As some of you will already be aware (because it's in your inbox), I have just started dispatching the KUDOS newsletter for this month.

I couldn't believe it when I checked when the last one was sent. Sorry for the lack of newsletters over the past year. I sent them regularly for 5 months but then stopped when the news dried up.

I have redesigned the newsletter and it is now much simpler and therefore will be easier to send each month. It used to take me a good 4-5 hours to write, test and send the last ones. From now on it will only take me as long as it takes to write the content. Lovely

Hope it helps with those referral conversions!

Lee

Ubër as opposed to über?

I haven't recieved my newsletter yet. Do I have to add you as a contact in hotmail or something?

Give it time.

Mailing list managers like phpList (what Lee uses) don't send all emails at once, so as to avoid spam blacklists. They'll go out periodically which could take a while given how many email addresses there probably are!

That wouldn't hurt but you shouldn't expect your newsletter until tomorrow.

They are sending now but there are so many it will take several days to send them all.

I have some clever software which throttles the sending to certain domains like hotmail etc to avoid being blacklisted as a spammer. Downside is it triples the time (and some) it takes to send them.

Thanks, is the e-mail support@kudosnetwork.co.uk or something like that?

arcticfox · 04-10-10, 04:47 PM

Already got mine, I love the bit about the free green if you reply before midnight.

Grrrrrrrr, I panicked for a bit there

kudos · 04-10-10, 04:58 PM

I forgot about the million pound giveaway! lol

Gave away a million pound worth of greens in the first newsletter for anyone that wasnt about. Great days!

(thanks Chigley for answering q's)

£1E6?! Blimey...
And, no worries

**MJ10** · 04-10-10, 05:00 PM

Cheers lee. Looking forward to getting it!

Andyb123 · 04-10-10, 05:01 PM

You gave away £1,000,000?
wow...

kudos · 04-10-10, 05:03 PM

I wasnt actually a million pounds. The value of the greens was nearly a million. Ofcourse this isnt real money so it isnt such a big deal. If every single user cashed in then it would be an issue ofcourse.

Now I think about it maybe it was half a million. Cant remember

It was a lot anyway, whatever it was! lol

digger600 · 04-10-10, 05:17 PM

haha well I still haven't used mine

Just had a new lovwefilm go approved so 2 more to go to the six I need

Hope I get the newsletter soon

and hopefully it'll convert some as I've even stopped emailing them now

Djoscar · 04-10-10, 11:07 PM

Thanks!

Are these being sent out in any particular order? Like, sign up date, or alphabetical order?

kudos · 04-10-10, 11:10 PM

sign up date. Well in actual fact is simple in ID number order. So the larger your ID number the later you will get the newsletter. Its not even a 10th of the way through yet.
