In this 2 hour workshop recording, I share the 20 concepts I recommend to those getting started with email marketing, along with clients of mine who have been doing it for a while.
Here's what's covered:
Seeding your email list – don't depend on Google
Optimize early for things that don't scale
Don't shy away from 1:1
Don't focus too much on "hard" segmentation early on
Build in the open
"Scrappy" usage of P.S.'s to encourage dialogue
Consult -> Group work -> Live workshop -> Cohort-driven course -> Evergreen course
Pre-pitch, segment people based on need and identity
Incorporate segmentation stats into your sales emails
Don't focus too much about personalization initially (yeah, I went there!)
Forget about multiple lead magnets. Just redescribe a primary lead magnet.
Stop "nurturing" and start creating customers
Offer the shortcut vs. the long road
Ask people why they don't buy after a pitch
Live launches suck for your subscribers
The 3 reasons why people buy during a pitch
Don't throw people head first into your newsletter
Back your hard pitches with lots of soft pitches
Automate how you get feedback, testimonials, etc (it's really easy to do)
Get off the content hamster wheel
