The 20 Commandments of Email.

Lessons from making over $50 Million for clients and building a 7-figure email marketing agency from scratch.

//THREAD//

1) Treat your subs with respect

People didn't sub to your list to be spammed.

People subbed to your list because you have something to offer and they're interested in you.

Keep it that way.
2) Test Everything

-Subject lines
-Email length
-Sending times
-Copy
-Angle
-Preview text

"Never stop testing and your advertising will never stop improving."

-David Ogilvy
3) Have Systems

-Welcome flows
-Purchase flows
-Abandonment flows

These will keep earning money forever.

You need sleep.

Systems don't.
4) Leverage List Segmentation

Never blast your whole list.

That's just asking to land in the Spam folder.

Focus on people who actually open your emails and click on your links.

An engaged list > A huge list.
5) Tag Everyone

Clicked on a link?

Tag them.

Purchased a product?

Tag them.

Won't open your emails?

Tag them.

If you know who you're sending emails to, it’s easy to make money.
6) Learn to Hype

Say you have a big holiday / event coming up.

You send them a discount email that day, right?

Wrong.

You send them one the day before,

One during the event,

And one after as an extended sale.

Easy money.
7) Treat Them.

Your email subs want to know more about you than your followers.

That's just how it is.

Let them know that you care by giving them discounts or unique offers.

Making your subs feel special is good for business.
8) Be Unexpected.

>Ask a question in the subject line.
>Tease them saying there's a surprise inside.
>Tell them about your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
>Make them laugh
>Tell a story

The key to good emails?

Stop being boring.
9) The Subject Line Is As Important As The Email

The subject line determines whether people are going to open your email or not.

>Beautiful design
>Solid copy
>Inbox delivery

Mean nothing if people won't open your email.

Pro tip: A/B test your subject lines & pick the winner
10) Use Preview Text

Use preview text as a "second subject line".

Examples:

- Great to have you!
- You're gonna like what's inside!
- Here's a little gift for you.

The subject line caught their attention.

A killer preview text seals the deal.
11) Make Them Feel Like They Belong

People like to feel part of something.

Anything that means something to them.

@ROGUEWEALTH leads the Roguewarriors.

@OneJKMolina has La Familia.

What do you have?
12) Don't Make Them Sick Of You

Sending emails every day is overkill.

If once a week works best, do once a week.

If twice or thrice a week does best, do twice or thrice a week.

Don't overdo it.

Respect their time and they will respect yours.
13) Don't Let Them Forget You

Conversely, don't let them go cold.

If you haven't emailed your list in months and expect them to buy from you,

You're in for a bad surprise…
14) Reignite The Fire

If people are not opening your emails, it's because you haven't given them a reason to.

So send them an email and give them a reason to.

Give them a discount
Let them ask you a question
Offer some kind of help

If that doesn't work, delete.
15) Respond If You Say You Will

Many people ask others to respond to their emails and do nothing.

Not good.

If you let people ask you questions, then make sure you answer those questions.

They'll like you more and will likely buy if you ask them to…
16) Be Useful

People subbed to your list because they wanted something from you.

>Knowledge
>Guidance
>Offers

So keep giving it to them.

Be Useful. Get Paid.

Simple.
17) Be Genuine

When was the last time you enjoyed corporate talk?

Exactly.

Speak like you would to a friend.

Nobody likes to be treated like "just another customer".

Everyone likes to be treated like a friend.
18) Quality > Quantity

It's better to have 100 people who want to hear from you,

Than 1,000 people who don't even know who you are.

Why would you email people who don't want you in their inbox and risk going to spam?

Stick to people who like you and you will be rewarded.
19) Get To The Point

People don't have time.

People don't have long attention spans.

Make your emails simple, concise and to the point.

Why should I open?
Why should I read it?
Why should I click on it?

Get clear on these three.

Watch your sales go up.
20) It's a Relationship

Business is mostly about relationships.

Treat others with respect, they'll respect you.

Help others, they'll help you.

Be useful to others, they'll like you.

Email is actually simple.

We're the ones that complicate it.

Here are 7 common email mistakes you can fix TODAY to make more $$$👇

// THREAD //


#1 Poor segmentation

Segmentation is one of the most important aspects of email marketing,

Especially for eCommerce.

Not segmenting properly can mean lots of unsubscribed, low opens, emails landing in spam, and more.

Here's an intro to segmentation


#2 Poor subject lines

Subject lines get your emails opened.

There's a lot to this that I can't fit here,

But if you're interested, my Campaign Calendar Guide has 100's of great subject line examples 👉https://t.co/kBQoyzcFry

#3 Too wordy

In emails,

You never want to be too wordy or longer than necessary.

Keep your copy as brief as it can possibly be.

Your customers are busy - provide all the info you need to sell the click, and nothing more.

And this also leads to the next common email mistake..

#4 Selling the product, not the click

Don't sell the product in your emails - your product or sales pages do that.

The goal of emails?

To sell the click.

This means inspiring curiosity to get prospects to click-thru.

Stop writing entire sales pages in your emails.

(2) Since 2016, Kushner has connived, with Saudi help, to force the Qataris (literally at a ship's gunpoint) to "loan" him $900 million.
(3) This is consistent with the Steele dossier.
(4) Kushner is unlikely to ever have to pay the "loan" back.


2/ So as you read about his tax practices, you should take from it that it's practices of this sort that ensure that he's able to extort money from foreign governments while Trump is POTUS without ever having to pay the money back. It also explains why he's in the Saudis' pocket.

3/ It's why the Saudis *say* he's in their pocket. It's why emoluments and federal bribery statutes matter. It's why Kushner was talking to the Saudi Crown Prince the day before the murdered Washington Post journalist was taken. It's why the Trump administration now does nothing.
