Select frequency and book inputs on our personalized book recommendation email.

What does this feature do?

This is a beta feature, and if you want to try the personalized book recommendation email, go to our My Book DNA page. There, you can fill out 3 books/authors you love and 3 genres/topics you love. Then, on the next page,e you can see some results and subscribe to a weekly email.

This email is 100% personalized and delivers book recommendation ideas every week (with no duplicates).

What are we adding?

Ability to change the frequency of the email.

Readers will be able to change it from weekly to every 2, 3, or 4 weeks.

Ability to change the books, authors, genres, and topics that go into it.

We will make it easy for readers to change the books, authors, genres, and topics that generate the personalized book recommendation email every week.

Integrate this into the 3 favorite reads of the year system.

At the end of the 3 favorite reads of the year submission, we ask readers if they want a weekly email with personalized book recommendations. We hadn't hooked that into this system yet and are doing that now (plus, we will add everyone who signed up previously).

We are building this now 😀!

Why is this update important?

• Email marketing is a big focus of ours. This email is testing very well, and I want to reach 1,000 subscribers in the test pool before we roll it out widely. We are close to hitting that, and once I get more testing done, we will roll this out widely.
• We want to implement the frequency change option before we improve the accuracy of our genre/topic system (which will improve the accuracy of this email). Why? Readers have told me that is the #1 feature they want, as many do not want a weekly email (especially more casual readers).
