π¨ Fellow Small Business Owners π¨
I wanted to share something unusual that recently happened with my website.
In a single day, I received over 300 email subscriptions. What caught my attention was that many of the signups appeared to be variations of the same handful of names.
I'm not sure of the intent behind it, but it was enough to make me review my website, email list, and email marketing practices.
If you collect email subscribers through your website, it may be worth taking a few minutes to:
β Review your subscriber list regularly
β Make sure your unsubscribe process is working properly
β Keep your email marketing platform up to date
β Monitor for unusual signup activity
Whether this was spam, bots, or something else, it's a good reminder that small business owners need to stay vigilant online.
Has anyone else experienced a sudden surge of suspicious email subscriptions? I'd be interested to hear what you've seen.
