3 steps to turn your social media followers Into email subscribers

By Sean Tinney November 3, 2022 Take back control of how you communicate with your audience by driving social media followers into your email list. Social media is a powerful tool for raising awareness of your brand and engaging your audience. And that’s what most people use it for. But it’s also an excellent tool for moving people into the “subscribe” stage of your marketing funnel.  Trouble is, social media can be unreliable. What would you do if Instagram shut down tomorrow? Or Facebook has an outage? Or… Twitter is sold and you no longer have access to your followers? Any of that could cut you off from your audience.  Don’t think it could happen? Three words for you: Myspace. Friendster. Google+. But with an email list, you don’t have to worry about social media ea...

See how this author grew his Amazon sales using email marketing in AWeber

By Sean Tinney September 29, 2022 Amazon is a platform to distribute products, not a sales strategy. But this author used email marketing to cut through the noise and create demand for his book series. Eric R. Asher is a former bookseller and cellist living in Saint Louis, Missouri. When he is not writing, you can usually find him reading, gaming, or buried beneath a small avalanche of Transformers toys. He is a successful author who self-publishes on Amazon. But that was not always the case. Eric had to navigate through the world of publishing to learn that writing the book is only the first step. Successful authors today need to cultivate an audience to sell books.

Get more engagement when you set email campaigns to arrive by time zone

By Kelsey Johnson July 28, 2022 Send emails that arrive in your subscribers’ inboxes at 10am (or whatever time you choose) — no matter where your subscribers live, worldwide. Effective email marketing is all about sending the right email to the right person at the right time. Now, you can send your emails at the right time for each of your subscribers with AWeber, no matter what timezone they’re in. That timing is important. Getting the content, subject lines, and branding of your emails is important, too. But if your emails arrive at a time when your subscribers are likely to be offline (or asleep), they’ll just get pushed down in the inbox by other emails. So set your campaigns to go out by time zone and start seeing better results from the exact same emails you’re sen...

It also sparked the idea for Paula’s business, List Producer, and her book, Listful Thinking. 13,000+ subscribers and growing Paula started her blog before she wrote her book to gauge interest in the topic of list-making.

How to test emails before you send them

By Pam Neely July 12, 2022 Don’t lose subscribers because of errors in your emails! Here’s how to avoid cringe-worthy mistakes. Remember that cringe-worthy moment when Steve Harvey read the wrong name for the winner of Miss Universe? Don’t be like Steve. Avoid mistakes in front of a large audience by testing emails before you send them. This doesn’t take a lot of time – maybe five to 10 minutes. It will keep you from embarrassing yourself and annoying your subscribers. One bad experience can be enough to turn a subscriber away for good. But if you do accidentally pull a Steve Harvey and mess up? It happens. Don’t let the fear of making a mistake keep you from sending your emails. You can always send an apology email.

How to Turn a Side-Hustle Into a Real and Viable Business

In the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, a fascinating shift was underway. Each year, an ever-growing portion of the workforce was counting on freelance work for some or all of their income. It was a phenomenon that many industry observers referred to as the rise of the gig economy. By 2020, there were 64.8 million freelance workers in the US alone. And experts predicted that a full 50.9% of the US workforce would be freelancing by 2028. Then the pandemic changed everything. Suddenly, millions of workers with full-time jobs found themselves out of work and exploring their options. Their predicament sent the freelance boom into hyper-drive. But it also changed the nature of the decisions workers faced. Before the pandemic, most workers were content to use their freelance work...

5 Ways to Identify Customer Pain Points So You Can Nail Your Marketing Messages

By Pam Neely May 17, 2022 Want to know why people buy – or don’t buy – from you? Understanding customer pain points will explain a lot. Knowing your customers can have a big impact on your marketing, and on your business overall. Identifying customer pain points is a key part of this. People don’t buy a product or service just because it’s cheap or has flashy features. While these reasons might influence someone’s purchase decision, they’ll ultimately buy something because it solves a problem. Don’t have time to eat an expensive sit-down meal? Grab food at McDonald’s. Can’t sleep because your neighborhood is noisy? Get a pair of earplugs or a white noise machine. Tired of driving to the gym every day? Purchase an at-home workout program on DVD. Once you understa...

4 Effective Email Marketing Strategies Post-Covid

Email has been around for 50 years now, and it's still a viable marketing strategy—provided you know how to pique the interest of your prospects. When the pandemic and economic uncertainty of 2020 changed the business world, many marketers redoubled their email efforts, focusing on a channel they could control. About 36% more marketing emails than usual were sent during the stay-at-home summer, HubSpot reported.

Marketers will undoubtedly continue to capitalize on the current success of email campaigns. Moreover, increasing investments in tools such as Outreach, SalesLoft, and HubSpot indicate t...

Imagine your marketing efforts led to a $3 billion contract for your company. What would that campaign look like? Would it be full of Super Bowl ads, massive postcard mailing campaigns, TV commercials, billboards, and magazine spreads? Would the message be conceived by a genius of marketing methodology, a pillar of the advertising industry who crafted a message so perfect, so undeniably inventive and clever that no decision maker could refute it? OR… would it be some goofy engineer with a twitter account, a genuine interest in his company’s objectives, an aggressive and highly public development strategy, and a willingness to share information (both good and bad) with the world? To the consternation of every old-school marketer in the business, it’s the latter. SpaceX, founded ...

Companies are making big money on social media. And you can too. The trick to social media marketing is knowing the foundations of what makes it work so well. Making money for your business is a huge pro (and what might be your goal on paper), but social gives companies an opportunity that was harder to come by before smartphones became our best friends. With social media, you can develop a relationship with your audience in a way that wasn’t possible before Facebook went viral. We get to use social media to talk to our audience and show them we really know our stuff. The right social media marketing strategy speaks to your cold, warm, and hot leads on one platform. And that’s what leads to revenue. When people see you as more than a company with a fancy logo and more as a r...

8 Top Brainstorming Techniques to Help You Write Killer Emails

By Kaleigh Moore March 30, 2021 Never waste time trying to think of a topic when you should be writing! I can’t think of anything to write. Sound familiar? Of course it does. It’s one of the top reasons our customers give us for letting their email marketing flatline. They just run out of ideas or topics to write about. Even pro writers come up with major email block. Ann Handley, co-founder of Marketing Profs and the popular book “Everybody Writes,” only sent two emails to her subscribers in 2017. (In fact, the lack of communication was her catalyst behind revamping her entire newsletter strategy.) But when your emails stall, you can’t make connections with your subscribers. You can’t sell. You can’t gather feedback from your audience. You’re leaving money on th...

How to Overcome Email Marketing Fatigue

Email fatigue is a real thing, especially with the continuing pandemic. Email marketing is far from dead, but it is getting harder and harder to get your branded emails opened and clicked. What is Email Fatigue? As the name suggests, email fatigue is when a person doesn’t want to read emails and feels more willing to delete, unsubscribe or send emails to spam. Email fatigue is something just about anyone feels from time to time. Gone are the days when people would diligently click each and every unread email in their inbox to read what is inside. Gone are the days when people would actually be looking forward to receiving a new email. These days a full inbox is nothing new or exciting. And it has been getting worse. Back in 2017, two thirds of Americans felt overwhe...

Why You Should Clean Your Email List (and How to Do It)

By Kelly Forst March 9, 2021 Want to run a successful marketing campaign? Then it’s time to clean house. You built up your list of subscribers. Now it’s time to remove a bunch of them. Because a clean email list can work wonders.  In fact, cleaning your email list can improve three key metrics: deliverability, open rates and click rates. The better these metrics, the more successful your email marketing campaign will be. That’s because a smaller list of engaged subscribers — people who actively read and interact with your content and brand — are more valuable than a larger list of subscribers who never open your content. In fact, lists with numerous inactive email addresses typically have higher rates of bounces, spam complaints and unsubscribes than ones that do...

People spend a lot of time worrying about their email open rates, but there’s another email metric that’s just as important — click-through rates. Click-through rates reveal how many subscribers clicked a link in an email, as well as how many times they clicked it.  What is a good email click-through rate? This is a tricky question to answer. Email marketing benchmarks vary widely among industries, business size, audiences, and more.  To better understand small business email marketing benchmarks, we conducted research asking survey respondents to self-report their click-through rates. Here’s what we found.  While it’s nice...

9 Sponsorship Packages Tips for Virtual Events

One of the major concerns for event organizers as they shift from in-person to virtual events is how to drive maximum revenue through sponsorship packages. Unlike the established patterns of in-person events, creating sponsorship deals for virtual events is relatively uncharted territory. You will need to approach the process creatively to offer exciting value propositions to sponsors. To secure sponsor commitments, your offerings should be tailored to creating experiences that enable sponsors to achieve maximum brand awareness, qualified-lead generation, sales, and relationship-building. You can achieve those goals by re-evaluating the various aspects of your event.

There are simple email content split tests that can have a big impact, like these 9 easy split tests below. Email ...

Use Email Marketing to Create and Drive Traffic to Your Content

By Sean Tinney November 19, 2020 Creating and delivering content that your audience raves about is no easy feat. Here’s how photographer Jared Polin uses video content to build his audience and drives traffic with email. Jared Polin went from unknown Youtuber to one of the biggest names in photography. His journey began in 2008, when Polin filmed a video of himself talking about his camera gear. It was awkward. He was visibly uncomfortable in front of the camera. But he kept going. He created another video. And another, and another. In 2010, he launched his website Fro Knows Photo to show off his photography expertise and land some freelance jobs.
