I've sold thousands of dollars in products & services over email for myself and for my clients
Here are 4 major fields you should improve for a more profitable email list
/* THREAD */ 🧵
To make this as easy as possible
I want to break down email marketing into 4 major fields
1. List building 2. Strategy 3. Copywriting 4. Automation
Let's go over each one, and why you should care
1. List building
No business thrives without new customers
You can only make so much out of each one
And that's why it is important to have a subscribers acquisition strategy
You can do this passively
I.e. Twitter bio
And actively
I.e Promote a lead magnet
Everyday you should put some effort into getting people inside your list
Create relevant freebies & relevant content to get people inside
Promote your list as a complementary and exclusive channel of content distribution
Make people want to join
2. Strategy
Most people give up too soon because they can't see tangible results
And more often then not, that happens because there's no strategy in place
You should be able to answer the following questions:
- With which frequency will I email my list
- What automation do I need
- What should I promote and for how long
- How will I make people want to buy this
Make sure you know where you're heading
3. Copywriting
Good copy can make or break your emails
Good copy have readers wanting to read more. Bad copy does the opposite
As a general rule of thumb you want your subject lines to spark curiosity
You want your email body to be enjoyable
And CTA to drive action
Good email writing tips:
- Talk for one person
- Write like you talk
- Be clear and direct
- Short sentences. Short paragraphs
- 5th grade English
- Add some drama and personal touch
- Use phrase connectors to make it easy to read & skim
4. Automation
For me this is the holy grail of email marketing
You can write a sequence one, and have it running forever
