Email marketing has been very useful for my business, and depending on your business, chances are it should be able to help in new ways, over and over again. If you think it’s right for your business, that’s great! And don’t worry if you’re a beginner.
If you are already using it, then I hope this can give you some new ideas!
Note: just so you know, the recommendation link is an affiliate link, meaning I may receive a commission for purchases made through that link. The commissions would come at no extra cost to you and would be paid for by the merchant.
Your Free Cheat Sheet
I’ve made a document that may help beginners and email marketing pros:
It briefly summarises everything you need to know, which might serve as a useful reference guide.
Before Starting, Consider This
If you’re looking to start email marketing then my advice before starting would be to:
- Collate a list of your customers’ or prospects’ email addresses
- Write some automated content that could be sent to them
Depending on your business, you could also think of some squeeze page & sign-up bait ideas.
Completing the above 2 steps means you’ll be ready to implement changes right away before spending money – because you’ll need to buy an email marketing subscription.
Email Marketing Subscription?
Yep. We all have to pay for it, but it more than covers its costs! If you’re looking for an email marketing provider then I’d suggest visiting:
ecommercepreneurs.com/emprovider
This will redirect you to my current recommended provider. Having used many different providers before, I’ve discovered that many are either:
- too expensive;
- have annoying flaws (e.g. having to manually remove subscribers, or limited automations);
- don’t have or make you pay extra for valuable features (e.g. tagging or scoring);
- or have hidden charges (e.g. double or triple charging for subscribers who are on multiple lists).
My recommendation is one of the cheaper options with great features and no annoying flaws. The above link will update if I ever find a better provider that delivers more value.
Thanks for Reading
I hope you’re able to see how easy email marketing is, and how it could benefit your business.
