300 Email Marketing Tips


Book Description

Does any of this sound familiar to you? 1. You sit down every week staring at that blinking cursor wondering what to send your email list, and then a week becomes two or more, and you can't remember when the last time you emailed them was. 2. You have an opt-in incentive or lead magnet that's pretty much doing nothing for you or your business. 3. You have a haphazardly thrown together email sequence that doesn't bring you sales or engagement. 4. You silently cringe every month as you pay out your email service provider because you're not using any of their features. 5. You're pretty much winging it with email. If you're nodding yes, 300 Email Marketing Tips will give you more than a bare-bones framework to put in place an email marketing strategy for your business.

Why your lead magnet has to address THESE two critical points 3 ways to plan your email editorial calendar Answers to the questions and more - I have thirty thousand page views a month but get only forty-two subscribers for an month. What am I doing wrong? (See section 3 for the answer.) - My email sequence gets a lot of engagement and opens. Everyone says they love my stuff, but I still get no sales for my e-book. Why? (See section 5 for the answer.) - I have a sequence of emails set up in my evergreen funnel, but I'm not getting any sales. Is my product terrible? Should I just scrap it altogether? (See section 7 for the answer.) Rather than flit from week to week wondering what to email your list... Imagine creating an email strategy that enables you to take the weekend off and still see your list grow, rake in testimonials, and make sales. Imagine having endless email content ideas... Imagine creating an opt-in offer with all the right ingredients that has readers clamoring to get their hands on it... Imagine sending emails with confidence knowing exactly the impact that particular email will have on your subscribers... That's the power of an email marketing strategy! If you think email marketing is complicated and something you can't do, my goal with this book is to change that opinion. If you're struggling with any particular aspect of email marketing, this book will give you a fresh perspective on how you can tackle it too. Intrigued yet?

Written clearly in an engaging voice, it explains in depth the whole process: from determining objectives to establishing readers’ needs, conducting research, outlining, and designing a template; to writing the first draft; to editing for meaning, accuracy, concision, style and emotional impact; to creating glossaries and indices; to proofreading and working with reviewers. The book also explains how to exploit the psychology of perception and motivation, collaborate effectively with business colleagues, manage documents holistically across an organisation, and deal with the other everyday practicalities of managing knowledge in a corporate environment. Every section of the book is packed with questions to stimulate thinking and generate meaningful answers, and dozens of examples of what works and why. The book’s also rich in practical examples drawn from real life, anecdotes, humour, and visual aids.

And anyone keen to explore further will benefit from the bibliography and links to videos and other online resources. The book is ideal not just for professional business writers, such as editors, technical writers, copywriters and creative directors; it’s also suitable for anyone whose job requires them to write, whether it’s something as simple as an email or as complex as a set of policies or a handbook.
