How many emails would you send per day to lads?

Myself probably 50

I'm not nearly that ambitious. I send ten e-mails on my most productive baiting days.

1 or 2 lol to each one

I send maybe one a day to each lad. If they tick me off (I usually first check my accounts when I wake up... usually without my morning coffee, so it's not hard for them to irritate me) I may let them hang for a few days. I also usually avoid replying on weekends just because I like to be a jerk that way.

Leaving your idiots... err... I mean lads hanging for a few days is fun and validating. The panicked e-mails hoping you are okay are well worth it. And it's not too hard to come up with some excuse as to why you weren't in contact.

Depends on the situation. I have a fellow baiter's lad on safari (he'll post about it later) and I've done possibly 50 - 100 emails so far today. But for normal baits at the beginning I try to keep it at 1 per lad. After the bait develops you kind of have to adjust it as needed, sometimes doing none for a couple days.

Per lad, one a week, sometimes two, he shouldn't expect me to sit behind the computer all day just to wait for him writing back. I got more to do then hang around until he is willing to send me something. I tell him that I email him from the public library were nothing is possible, no scan, no other programs to install, no phone, no loading pictures or faxing and I sure don't hang around there all week, just to please him. He wants my attention($), so he works/waits for it and when I'm good and ready I'll answer maybe Wink

And that must be why my baits are so slow and boring Laughing

But they sure waste his time a lot. Wink

I might use that in my Baits, but have to wait for the Monthly mobile service. Very Happy

i meant i sent 50 ASEMs per day

When I start a new bait, it is 500 ASEMs per day. I sent over 50k for one bait before.

i like to send each lad an email a day when im starting out with them. Once we get to know each other a bit and they start asking me for money i tend to just email them a couple of times a week as i figure they are unlikely to drop me once they think the money is close. I try to give them forms etc to keep them busy whilst they wait for my next thoroughly unhelpful correspondance however, as i would hate for them to get bored!

It depends .. it varies from 0 to 500 ... the 500 being ASEM's from a repository when there' s little action from Ladania, and I' m bored .. on avarage I' d say 10 per day.

As I am told that I am the most irritating person you could ever wish to speak to, my aim is to reply to every Lad who sends out a scam mail. Very Happy

I'll have to agree, with ASEMs I send at least a few hundred out. Plan out a good 5-15% bouncing (depending on how fresh the mails are), at least 10-20% responding with script, <5% responding off script, and then maybe only one or two actually going the distance.

I'm new to the ASEM world, relatively, so your mileage may vary.

Edit to add: I was working on a response chart, checking the percentages from the various type of lad's, which were on script, which were off script, etc. And then using this to gauge the effectiveness of a chosen ASEM, but I forgot about it until now. Back to work I guess
