- How often should I email my list?

- Send 2 to 4 emails per week to an engaged list. Less than once a week and sender reputation decays (deliverability falls); more than 5 sends per week and unsubscribes climb. The Brunson Soap Opera (5 daily) and Seinfeld (3-4 weekly) patterns sit comfortably in this range.

What's the nuance?
Send daily during the first 5 days after opt-in (Soap Opera Sequence) – cold subscribers are most engaged in the first 72 hours.
What else should I know?
Steady-state cadence (Seinfeld pattern): 3 emails per week is the sweet spot for most indie SaaS lists.
What's the common mistake here?
Quality varies more than quantity. 4 specific founder-voice emails outperform 2 generic newsletters.
