Why Your Email Personality Matters More Than Templates

If you’ve spent any time in the world of email marketing, you’ve probably seen countless templates promising higher open rates, better click through rates, and more sales. “Use this subject line.” “Copy this welcome sequence.” “Steal this proven email.” Templates have their place.

What to Do When Nobody Replies to Your Emails

If you’ve been building an email list for any length of time, you’ve probably experienced it. You send an email you spent an hour writing. You hit send, wait for the responses to roll in, and… nothing. No replies. No questions. No conversations. It feels like you’re talking into an Read more

Why Selling Less Often Can Increase Revenue

When people first get into affiliate marketing or online business, one piece of advice seems to appear everywhere. Sell more. Promote more. Mention your offer in every email. Post more links.

How to Write Emails People Feel Were Written Just for Them

Have you ever opened an email and thought, “This person gets exactly what I’m going through”? Then you’ve probably opened another one five minutes later that started with “Dear valued subscriber” and deleted it before you reached the second sentence. The difference is rarely better grammar or fancier copywriting. The Read more

Why Readers Trust Emails More Than Social Media

If you spend any time online, it is easy to assume social media is where all the attention is.
