300 Email Marketing Tips: Critical Advice And Strategy To Turn Subscribers Into Buyers & Grow A Six-Figure Business With Email
Meera Kothand - 2019
You sit down every week staring at that blinking cursor wondering what to send your email list, and then a week becomes two or more, and you can’t remember when the last time you emailed them was.2. You have an opt-in incentive or lead magnet that’s pretty much doing nothing for you or your business.3. You have a haphazardly thrown together email sequence that doesn’t bring you sales or engagement.4. You silently cringe every month as you pay out your email service provider because you’re not using any of their features.5. You’re pretty much winging it with email. If you’re nodding yes, 300 Email Marketing Tips will give you more than a bare-bones framework to put in place an email marketing strategy for your business.The premise of this book isn’t about growing a big fat email list. Email marketing is NOT list building alone. You need a coherent, holistic strategy to be successful at it.
Here’s what’s packed in this how-to guide:
What branding has to do with email marketing and the #1 thing most solopreneurs ignore when it comes to their email list
7 things your welcome email must do (but probably doesn’t!)
Why your lead magnet has to address THESE two critical points
3 ways to plan your email editorial calendar
Answers to the questions
I have thirty thousand page views a month but get only forty-two subscribers for
an month. What am I doing wrong?(See section 3 for the answer.)
- My email sequence gets a lot of engagement and opens. Everyone says they
love my stuff, but I still get no sales for my e-book. Why?(See section 5 for the
answer.)
- I have a sequence of emails set up in my evergreen funnel, but I’m not getting any sales. Is my product terrible? Should I just scrap it altogether? (See
section 7 for the answer.)
Rather than flit from week to week wondering what to email your list...Imagine creating an email strategy that enables you to take the weekend off and still see your list grow, rake in testimonials, and make sales.
Youtility: Why Smart Marketing Is about Help Not Hype
Jay Baer - 2013

To win attention these days you must ask a different question: "How can we help?"Jay Baer's Youtility offers a new approach that cuts through the clutter: marketing that is truly, inherently useful. If you sell something, you make a customer today, but if you genuinely help someone, you create a customer for life.
The Brand Flip: Why Customers Now Run Companies and How to Profit from It
Marty Neumeier - 2015
You'll learn how to flip your brand from offering products to offering meaning, from value protection to value creation, from cost-based pricing to relationship pricing, from market segments to brand tribes, and from customer satisfaction to customer empowerment. In the 13 years since Neumeier wrote The Brand Gap, the influence of social media has proven his core theory: "A brand isn't what you say it is - it's what they say it is." People are no longer consumers or market segments or tiny blips in big data. They don't buy brands. They join brands. They want a vote in what gets produced and how it gets delivered. They're willing to roll up their sleeves and help out - not only by promoting the brand to their friends, but by contributing content, volunteering ideas, and even selling products or services. At the center of the book is the Brand Commitment Matrix, a simple tool for organizing the six primary components of a brand. Your brand community is your tribe. How will you lead it?
