Earnings or profits derived from participating in the following program are entirely generated by the ambitions, motivation, desires, and abilities of the individual reader. Without any further ado, let’s get started. Who Is The Program For? The DIGITAL LIFESTYLE ENREPRENUER, program is designed for four types of people: 1) Those who have decided to start an Internet business, but don’t know where or how to begin; 2) Those who already have a website or online business that is NOT living up to their expectations, (everything you’ll learn here can be directly applied to your existing online business or Website);

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


3) Those who are looking for a job, have time on their hands, and would like to make some money while waiting for a new position. 4) Those who are currently employed and wish to begin developing a business where they have control in the event their job is outsourced. Almost anyone can learn to make a DIGITAL BUSINESS. Because you can just stay at one level and prefect those skills so until you reach your financial goals or keep moving to the next level as your skills and confidence grows. Students, housewives, professional people, even kids are building DIGITAL BUSINESS. The Internet’s Different On the Internet, the medium is communications, the product is information, and the content is intellectual. Anybody with a brain can play. All you need in order to start is: (1) a computer, (2) high-speed access to the Net, (3) the desire, (4) the willingness to learn, and (5) your HEAD. (While you don’t actually need a high-speed connection, you’ll want one so you don’t waste so much time waiting for things to happen while you’re working.) So what does all this mean to YOU? 1. You can start your business with LITTLE or NO CAPITAL. Unlike traditional businesses with hard assets, you don’t need to invest in building physical products, factories, inventory or stores.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


Assuming you already have a computer and Web access, you can start with little or no capital. Never before has it been possible to start a business with so LITTLE CAPITAL and still have the potential to make millions. 2. You can start your Internet business in your SPARE TIME. A Web business can be built by one person working at any time of the day or night. There’s no need to quit your day job before you’ve mastered the skills and built a new income base. 3. You don’t need EMPLOYEES. Most of the skills required for running an Internet business can be learned as you go. And to the extent that you do require the specialized skills of others, you can find these people on the Net and hire them as contractors, either by the job or by the hour. No need to worry about employees, insurance or benefits. 4. You can start and run the business from your HOME. Other businesses require a place where customers can come to purchase a product, a place to warehouse inventory, and offices to house a staff. But you can start your Internet business in the den, a spare bedroom or even a closet! All of your customers arrive via the Internet and your inventory is on a hard disc in your computer. 5. You get to be your own BOSS. This is a great opportunity for those of you who want to take responsibility for yourselves and your future. You get to do things the way you want: work when you want, wear what you want and make as much as you want. The sense of FREEDOM is fantastic! 6. You can build your business ANYWHERE in the world. You can live and work wherever your heart desires you to be. You can start it where you are, build it up and then move to where you’ve always wanted to live.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


Moving your business is as easy as carrying your laptop anywhere. All you need is a highspeed connection to the Internet. 7. You can go as FAST or SLOW as you want. There’s no urgency to build a business in the next month. Start simple, learn the basics, make some money, develop your skills and confidence and move at your own pace. The only pressure is the pressure you create for yourself. Never before has it been so easy to start a business, with no capital, and that has the HUGE UPSIDE POTENTIAL that the Internet affords. The leverage is enormous. You can now reach a world-wide market from your computer. And it will be a few years before this window of opportunity closes. As more and more people discover the Net’s potential, the profitable market niches will get filled by those who get off their butts and swing into ACTION. So Where Do You Start? I’ve talked about what a fantastic financial opportunity the Internet is. Hundreds of thousands of people make all or some portion of their living from o ne or more DIGITAL LIFESTYLE ENTREPREUR BUSINESS. What we’ve not talked about is…YOU. DIGITAL ENTREPREUR BUSINESS is built by people like YOU. However, there are three characteristics successful DIGITAL ENTREPREUR BUSINESS has. Do you have these characteristics…or are you willing to develop them?

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


1) You’re DECISIVE and TAKE ACTION. YOU will not create your first Money Machine, much less the second and third, until you decide to take ACTION. It’s a lot of fun to dream about having money, but money doesn’t come to people who don’t see the opportunities in front of them and TAKE ACTION. You have to identify an OBJECTIVE, develop a PLAN and then start to WORK. 2) You’re NOT AFRAID to make mistakes and you’re quick to fix them. YOU must be willing to experiment, to try something, and if it doesn’t work, try something else and keep trying…until you figure it out. The Internet is still in its infancy. And it’s changing rapidly. It’s in a very dynamic growth phase. There are no hard and fast rules. There are only guidelines. What worked yesterday may no longer work tomorrow…and vice versa. So YOU must be open to change, willing to experiment and not get discouraged when it doesn’t work the first time. As someone wise once said, “We don’t learn from our successes, we learn from our failures.” Since so many variables have to work right for success, it’s not possible to make a list of the reasons. But it’s usually pretty easy to see what didn’t work and why. 3) You’re WILLING TO INVEST BOTH TIME AND MONEY IN LEARNING. Because the Internet is so new and changing so fast, the most successful people spend a lot of time and money on their CONTINUING EDUCATIONS. They constantly read books, both for new information and for motivation. They often read the same books multiple times to keep pounding the information home. They invest in courses and seminars. They spend time with other successful people looking for new ideas and better ways of doing things. So don’t think that by reading and studying this book alone you’re going to get

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


rich. Though you don’t have to spend $3,000, you must be willing to read three books on the same subject just to get different perspectives. And you’re willing to re-read the same book five times to make sure you got it all, and you start hanging out at seminars with the gurus. Then you’re on your way. There are no shortcuts to success. That’s why Get-Rich-Quick books don’t work. This book will only work if…YOU work IT. Still with me? If so, let’s get to work…. Are you ready to take action? Let’s take a deeper dive into the skills you’ll be mastering through this Ebook Course offer. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn

1. What Is Email Marketing? Email marketing is a type of direct digital marketing that uses electronic mail (also called email or e-mail) as the marketing communication delivery method. Email marketing is the highly effective digital marketing strategy of sending emails to prospects and customers. Effective marketing emails convert prospects into customers, and turn one-time buyers into loyal, raving fans. Email marketing is used in a number of ways by organizations and marketers for brand and customer loyalty building, acquiring or converting customers, company advertisements, or for communicating promotional offers and more. Email is a remarkably flexible tool that can accommodate a wide range of messages. Ads can be quite simple, or they can be flashy, multimedia packages. The aesthetic of the ad will depend on the company and the product for sale. Some ads are only text while others include images, video, and long lists of links. Let's say you own a store that sells children's clothing. You receive a shipment of summer clothes and swimwear, and you're anxious to tell your customers about the cute new selections as well as see immediate sales results. You create an email that includes photos, product information, and a special coupon that's only valid for 24 hours. Within minutes of sending your email, you get responses in the form of questions, comments, and orders. Your email marketing brings immediate results.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


Email marketing has several key advantages over traditional mail marketing, including the following: - An exact return on investment can be tracked and has proven to be high when done properly. Email marketing is often reported as second only to search marketing as the most effective online marketing tactic. - Advertisers can reach substantial numbers of email subscribers who have opted in to receive email communications on subjects of interest to them. - Over half of all Internet users check or send email on a typical day. - Email allows marketers to reach out to consumers with personalized, relevant, dynamic messages. - Transactional emails allow businesses to respond automatically to important consumer events like purchases or shop-cart abandonment. So the questions are why should one go about email marketing? Well here are a few thoughts on the matter: Why? 1. Cost – Email marketing is CHEAP, there are no two ways about it. Whether you do it yourself, or through an email marketing agency, marketing to hundreds of consumers via email is going to cost you tiddlywinks compared to other channels of advertising. 2. Success – Emails can be targeting specifically to the ideal consumer. With this concept in mind, along with email cost-effectiveness, it’s no wonder that email marketing’s ROI often blows other direct marketing strategies out of the water – The trick is that you have to get it right! 3. Measureability and Flexibility – With the analytics available today it’s easy to track responses to your emails exactly, in order to work out what parts of your campaign are

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


working and what parts aren’t. With this knowledge, you can then react instantly to modify your campaign strategy if need be. So yes… Email marketing is a vital component in many industries, especially for creating those important customer-firm relationships. Learn to use it well and it will definitely bump up your company’s success. Through email, companies can target specific customers who are interested in niche products or programs. It also provides quick and immediate communication, allowing companies to send emails to customers and get results almost instantly. Additionally, email marketing is effective in building brand awareness and customer loyalty. By communicating regularly with your customers, you encourage repeat business and a stronger connection to your business. Some people think email marketing is outdated, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Email marketing has been utilized since shortly after the birth of the Internet. It has evolved considerably since then and is still an incredibly useful marketing tool. In fact, many entrepreneurs argue that email marketing is more important now than ever before. There’s a good reason 85% of U.S. retailers consider email marketing one of the most effective customer acquisition tactics!

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


Email marketing is a powerful driver of sales & revenue for your business, and has a greater reach and return on investment than any other channel available to marketers today. 2. Different Types Of Email Marketing Campaigns You Need To Be Sending Your Email List Do you know what types of emails you should be sending your email list? You probably know that email marketing is the best way to sell online, but after you grow your email list, then what? Email marketing is a practical, low-cost marketing tool that combines convenience with technology. It provides small business owners with the ability to reach more customers, which in turn can result in increased sales. But what about the follow-up email? Or any email that may be included in an automated email workflow?

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


It's time to stop focusing on the design of just your biggest sends, and spend some time stiffing up all those other emails you're sending. Most business owners today use email marketing campaigns to promote all sorts of services and products, from babysitting services to mobile phones and beyond. Why You Need Different Types Of Emails? The problem with many ineffective email marketing campaigns isn’t that they send emails too frequently or infrequently. It’s that the content they’re sending isn’t differentiated enough. If you’re simply sending out the same old weekly newsletter over and over again, your subscribers will stop being interested in your emails before they have a chance to convert. The other problem with ineffective email marketing campaigns is that they don’t include a good mix of “value” based emails versus “selling” emails. If you are constantly sending either one or the other type of email, you’ll either turn your subscribers off or you’ll never sell anything. Be willing to mix things up. Your subscribers will appreciate it, and you’ll enjoy the benefit of higher open and click through rates, leading to increased sales. To get you started, let’s review some of the different types of emails you absolutely need to be sending your list… 1. Welcome Emails Series Welcome emails are the first email your subscribers receive after they’ve confirmed their email address. Since this is their first interaction with your brand in their inbox, make it memorable and worth their while. After all, subscribers are highly likely to open and click welcome emails compared to other

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


types of promotional emails. These are the automated responses an organization sends when a new subscriber joins an email list. Welcome emails have among the highest open rates of all types of emails, so be sure your welcome emails make a great first impression of your organization’s emailmarketing program. These emails are a huge opportunity to upsell, build credibility and trust, and enhance your brand. Another type of transactional email, the welcome email is the perfect option for thanking and providing more information to people who have signed up for your newsletter, product trial, or other offer. It’s a simple email that tells them how happy you are that they’ve subscribed, and then lays out some of the things they can expect to receive in their inbox. 2. Educational Emails Series These types of emails should help solve a problem or answer questions that an organization’s subscribers may have. A good opportunity to send educational emails, for example, is to highlight new content on your website or to share an interesting article or blog. 3. Newsletter Email Series Sent on a regular basis—such as monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly—newsletter emails are a great way for organizations to reinforce their industry expertise, build loyalty and engagement with subscribers, as well as grow a list of qualified prospects and customers. Newsletter emails inform customers of current promotions, sales, and the newest offering. Newsletter emails are more than merely sales tools; they also help develop a long-term impact on readers.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


4. Press Release Email Series Press releases are a marketing tool underutilized by most small businesses. A press release is typically associated with print publication, such as newspapers and trade magazines, but can be used by small businesses to communicate with customers, informing them of a particular new inventory item or promotion. Unlike a newsletter or catalog, press releases focus on one message and are designed to inform readers and entice them to visit the business online or in person. 5. Offer Email Series This email includes a discount, coupon, or some other special deal that you send out to subscribers as a “thank you” for being on your VIP list. Offer emails typically have high open rates. Whether or not your business model includes offering sales and discounts, it’s a good idea to send out some sort of special offer just for your subscribers every now and then. This shows your appreciation, and drives sales. 6. Free Gift Email Series Did you know that the average office worker receives 121 emails per day? Furthermore, open rates for marketing emails hover right around 18 percent. So, if you want your email to be one of the few that’s actually opened, you need to give free value now and again. An exclusive, free gift email sprinkled in to your email marketing campaign will work like magic to keep your subscribers engaged and, well, subscribed. So what kind of a free gift should you send?

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


An easy way to start is with something downloadable. For example, Slides sends out a huge pack of free design resources to download. 7. Reorder Email Series If your company sells a product that needs to be reordered regularly, such as vitamins or ink cartridges, you can use a reorder email program to remind customers before they run out. Coming up with an effective reorder email strategy for your products/services could result in a significant boost in sales and revenue. Especially if you run a subscription service, or sell consumable goods that are ordered in regular intervals, a simple reorder email can be an effective way to retain customers. 8. Shopping-Cart Abandonment Email Series One type of transaction email that’s essential for any online store is cart abandonment emails. These are the emails that you send out when potential customers add items to their online shopping cart, but don’t follow through on a purchase. These could provide an opportunity to increase your potential profits since approximately two-thirds of shopping cart transactions is abandoned. Typically set up as a series of trigger messages, shopping-cart abandonment emails encourage users to come back and complete the purchases they started at a company’s ecommerce site. If you have a shopping cart and aren’t doing recovery emails, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity. 9. Birthday/Holiday Email Series Sending birthday or holiday wishes to your subscribers is a great way to keep your organization top of mind. And because of the fantastic targeting, these emails tend to get a remarkable response.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


To send birthday wishes, you would have to collect date of birth information on your signup or subscriber profile forms. By also including a special offer or coupon in these emails, you can help boost interest and possibly new sales, as well. 10. Thank-You Email Series The lifeblood of a small business comes from good customer service, and thank-you marketing emails are compelling and rewarding to patrons. Customers feel real value when a business takes the time to respond to their experience and ensure that all expectations were met. Thank-you emails should be customized to the consumer and include current and future offers, along with a small token of gratitude, such as a discount on the next purchase. 11. Event Invitation Email Series Email can be a great vehicle for promoting an upcoming event you're hosting. But if you want to invite your contacts to an event and motivate them to register, it's extremely important to clearly showcase why that event is worth their attendance. A great way to do so is through visuals. A lot of events cost money to attend, and most cost a pretty penny. So if you want to attract registrants, cut down on the copy and show potential registrants why the event will be awesome. With these emails, you can create a comprehensive email campaign around your events— including webinars, presentations, and conferences—to help build interest and encourage participation. Event emails would include invitations, follow-up invitations, reminders, and thank-you emails.

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


12. Catalog Email Series Catalog email marketing is much like newsletter email, but focuses on images and short descriptions with pricing, rather than communicating through the use of short articles or dialogue pieces. Catalog emails can be compared to hard copy catalogs sent through the mail, but they do not require printing and shipping costs to be incurred. 13. Video Email Series Video email is another form of email marketing that is a hybrid of newsletter and catalog marketing--combining a narrative with images, video footage, and graphics. Video marketing requires more technical expertise than other email marketing tools. 14. Lead-Nurturing Email Series This type of email helps you move a lead through your sales funnel, while cutting the amount of time required by a sales team to educate prospects about your services and products. Lead-nurturing emails should be short emails with the main purpose of driving prospects to take action on your website. 15. Anniversary Email Series Celebrating a subscriber’s anniversary for joining your email list is another excellent opportunity for keeping your company top of mind and encouraging sales. At the end of the day, your emails should not only be visually appealing, but they should also be valuable. Focus on sharing the key information in the most appropriate format depending on the type of email you're sending -- and the audience you're sending it to.

After all, what's the use of a crazy-beautiful email if it doesn't provide any true value to the reader? Getting the best results from each email campaign requires a comprehensive strategy, effective implementation, and continual improvement of a number of components that work together to deliver against your campaign goals. Deciding where to expend your energy and spend your time is a major challenge for email marketers. Do you spend time generating new subscribers, or is it better to focus on writing different types of emails to convert your subscribers into paying customers?

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


80% of marketing executives state that email helps a lot to acquire and retain customers. In fact, it is better than Facebook as your followers are more likely to subscribe to your email newsletters than engage you on Facebook. Another impressive stat is email gives higher conversion rates than the combined power of search and social media. With email, you can garner the attention of tech-savvy Smartphone users as a survey shows that 88% of them check email on their phones. What are the top benefits of email marketing? Perhaps the most important one is you can send personalized messages to target consumer segments. This is something you would not be able to do on social media. Email marketing is also cost effective, measurable and easily shareable, and it serves to improve brand awareness. Other advantages are flexible design as you can send text, images, and attach files, and scalability for large audiences. In addition, email marketing is less than intrusive than phone marketing and green friendlier than postal marketing. Do you want to automate your email marketing campaigns?

There is no exact flow for email marketing as it consists of all the best practices – so in order to be successful in email marketing, you should be following the best practices closely. Below are some terms and concepts that should help guide more successful email marketing campaigns:

FREE TRAINING: "How to Earn a 6-Figure Side-Income Online"


1) Permission The most important key in email marketing is to get the permission of the audience before contacting them. Members, who are not subscribed to your marketing emails, should NEVER be sent an email whatever the reasons. Transactional emails such as order confirmations, e-receipts, or password reminders serve other purposes and therefore can be excluded from this strict rule. Members, who are subscribed to your newsletters but are not totally engaged with you company, should also be approached with caution. Subscribers should ideally consist of users, who REALLY want to receive emails from you.  

      

Do not have the newsletter subscription opt-in box pre-ticked by default. Try to be as simple as possible – do not ask for great details in the first step of information collection. Feel privileged that your potential customer chooses to share their email address with you! Make your visitors feel comfortable and safe about your registration forms. NEVER force the visitors to subscribe to your newsletters to become a member. Tell them that they are free to unsubscribe from your newsletters in just one click. Always let them know what will happen once they subscribe to your newsletters and give information about the benefits. Allow them to choose communication frequency. Do always include your company details and contact information. Do not buy lists, do not crawl websites to increase your list size, and do not share your list with other companies, even if the other company is a sister company or you belong to the same group.

2) Content Content is the visual design that your subscribers see in your newsletters and the correct message should be given to the subscribers. Most of the deliverability issues are caused by sending irrelevant contents to the subscribers, which results in increased unsubscribe and spam complaint rates. Nobody will be interested in reading a totally unrelated newsletter to their needs and preferences.

You should definitely be sending messages on what the users have subscribed for in the first place. If they subscribed to hear about discounts on a specific product, inform them about available discounts on that product. The message should always match the user’s interests and needs. The visual design of your content should also be consistent. Do not change the look and feel of your content every time you launch a campaign. Make your subscribers feel like they are reading a newspaper whose design stays the same. Your company should have a well structured email design, which your subscribers will get used to.        

Deliver the message the subscribers are asking for. Send emails that you know the audience will be interested in. Be consistent in the design. Use personalization in your content to maximize open rates. Provide an easy-to-find and visible unsubscribe link in your content. Include company details and a link to your privacy policy in all of your email campaigns. Always use the same “from name” and “from address” to gain trust and build reputation. Create mobile adaptive designs.

3) Segmentation Successful segmentation can guarantee that the right message is reaching the right person. It is the key point to increase open rates and generate higher revenues. Segmentation can be done based on demographical, geographical or behavioral data. You should let go off the idea that you will make less money if you do not launch the campaign to all of your subscribers. Sending the same content to all subscribers without segmenting them will result in deliverability issues, higher unsubscribe and spam complaint rates, which will then lead to less revenue. Almost 99% of your male subscribers will not be interested in and be happy about receiving daily discounts on female goods. 

Do not send the same content to all your subscribers, i.e. do not send bulk emails.

 

Segment your list using demographical, geographical or behavioral criteria’s. Make your subscribers feel like the email is tailored to their special needs only.

4) Timing Timing is one of the most critical points in building up loyalty. You may be sending your email campaigns daily, weekly or monthly but irregular timing in your campaigns can make your subscribers feel uncomfortable and cause complaints for your services, which can in return damage your brand reliability. TV shows and radio programmed, for example, always start on their scheduled days and times. You should be scheduling your campaigns exactly like a TV show – so that the subscribers wait for your email, which will make them feel comfortable and therefore create trust. 5) Deliverability You may follow all the best practices but still be delivered to the spam folder. It is a sign that something is wrong either with your content or there are a technical issues involved in your email’s infrastructure. You should think of deliverability as a “science”, which you experiment gradually by doing tests. Do not expect your ESP to deliver your messages right into the inbox. ESPs are companies that provide you with an infrastructure to send emails. So you determine your own delivery rate. You should be careful with your campaign’s content in order not to be specified as a spammer by the ISPs. Sending regular email campaigns and to the active members will help you maintain a higher reputation. Keep in mind that the IP reputation is not as important as it was before. The main point you should be dealing with, is the reputation of the sender, i.e. your sender reputation. 

Monitor your IP reputation scores.

           

Do not send to your inactive members, who have not responded to your emails in the past 6-9 months. Be aware of the spam traps and try to eliminate them by sending to your active list. Avoid using phishing links in your content. Add an unsubscribe link to the top of your content. Ask users to add your sender domain to their address book. Provide a link to the online version of your email in all of your campaigns. Privacy policy and company details should exist in every single campaign. Keep the text/image ratio to a minimum of 50% Do not use bright red, green colours in the content. Do not use all-uppercase words. Try not to use too many special characters in the content as well as in the subject line. Try to follow all the deliverability best practices.

6) Test The success of an email campaign can always be increased by testing. Testing can be done by using A/B split tests on the subject line, content, call to action wordings, etc. By doing so, you will have the chance to monitor the open rates, click rates, as well as the purchasing rates and then analyze the winner campaign to then continue with it. Testing cannot give you an ‘exact’ result but it will help you progress with the best performing version of a campaign. Perform an A/B test before launching your campaigns. Try to test every existing criterion that you have: subject lines, content or CTAs.

5. Email Template Design Tips You Should Always Follow So how do you make sure your messages stand out in a subscriber’s inbox? Well, great content, for one. But another extremely important factor: email design. Eye-catching emails that effectively communicate your message will improve metrics like open rates, click through rates, and conversions. Not only are most of your customers opening their emails on a mobile device, they’re clicking through to your website and often making purchases while on the go as well. We love using our Email Design Workshop blog to show you how to build creative, effective email campaigns, step by step, with plenty of detail. But sometimes it’s nice to have a shortand-snappy list with tips and ideas all in one place. That’s I have rounded up top email design tips for you, so they’re easy to scan, reference, and remember. I hope you find them useful as you kick off email marketing and plan your best email campaigns ever! One important thing to note about our list: Because mobile opens now account for up to 70% of all email opens, making sure your emails are readable on a mobile device is THE most important thing you can do to make your email campaigns as effective as possible. Without further ado, here’s top email design tips list for your business: 1. Be brief Think of your email as a teaser. Readers have short attention spans and are increasingly reading on mobile devices on the go. Your email should be a preview of what’s to come when readers tap your call-to-action button and get to your website.

2. Don’t Rely On Images To Be The Only Visually Interesting Part Of Your Email Images can increase your span score and be slow to load, or they may not appear at all depending on a reader’s settings. Capitalize on flat design tactics and bold HTML background colors to create a dynamic, visually-interesting email without depending on images. 3. Don’t Overcrowd Your Header Cut down on extraneous links (social media, special sales, etc), menus, and extraneous text. Your email is not a website. 4. Don’t say “Click here” on your CTA button Don’t waste space by telling readers where to click, especially because on mobile devices, readers are tapping, not clicking. Skip it and tell readers directly what they should do using a clear, direct action verb; try “Reserve my spot now” or “Get my free ticket.” 5. Don’t Put Your CTA Button First Research has shown that placing a CTA button below the fold actually increases clicks by 304%! Let readers know what they’re signing up for first—with great copy and visuals— then invite them to act. Reference the inverted pyramid. 6. Minimize Image File Sizes Allow for quicker load times on mobile devices with images that don’t exceed 1MB. 7. Tell Your Story In Multiple Ways Readers take in information in different ways: use multiple formats to improve comprehension and retention. Vary your content between videos, infographics, text, images, illustrations, and more. Have fun! And monitor engagement. 8. Alternate Between Two Email-Safe Fonts Using too many fonts can be distracting. Stick with one or two, and use them consistently: try using one font for all headers, for example, and another for body text to improve scan-

ability. 9. Clearly Label Advertisements Make in-email ads distinguishable from the surrounding email content with a special label and/or with a change of color in the header or background. Use a consistent approach so your readers always know when they’re looking at an ad. 10. Start With The Subject Line About 35% of readers decide whether or not to open your email based on the subject line alone. Stand out by putting some thought into your subject line. Try getting readers curious about your email with a line that asks a question, promises a deal or coupon, has a “how to,” or includes a number. Selecting the right email marketing application is a difficult decision. Each one has different features, drawbacks and price points. The Best Email Marketing Services Are: 1. ConvertKit 2. GetResponse 3. Ontraport 4. Constant Contact 5. AWeber Keep in mind what your current needs are as well as your future goals. Once you have all your lists and data in one program, it may be a hassle to switch providers when you need a system with more features. Select a provider now that can grow with your business and subscriber lists in the future.
