This email may come with a sense of irony. i.e., it could be wriggling around in your spam or promotions folder. (And if you're reading it there now, that could also be a testament to some of the points on the list in and of itselfâ¦) But if you aggressively implement as many of the 15 points below as you can, as fast as you can⦠I daresay you should see a fat bump in your engagement and sales. First two on the list are mandatory though. If you canât or wonât do these first two, then the rest wonât do you much good. All right here goes: 1. Write interesting content people want to read 2. Sell offers people want to buy 3. Mail more often, not less (assuming youâre doing both of the above) 4. Curate your list as aggressively as you can at the opt-in especially 5. Ramp up your email blocking game â i.e., block catch-all addresses, or emails that put things like âhelpâ, âspamâ, ânewslettersâ, âsubsâ, âsubscribeâ, etc 6. Delete ân block any and all bogus-looking domains on sight 7. Do the opposite of what any email grifters say who were Facebook experts last month, a crypto expert the month before that, a TikTok expert before that, but now suddenly are email experts today 8. Do a list scrub immediately to help you identify the bots, spam traps, honey pot addresses that are scraped & harvested by spammers, spam button pushers, as well as undeliverable email addresses, malformed email addresses, & abandoned email addresses seized by ISPs to âspyâ on email marketers, etc 9. Encourage people to ask you questions 10. Write opinionated content people have a hard time not replying to 11. Do your own customer service (apply Gary Halbertâs âwhite mailâ warning) 12. Rejoice when trolls & reply guys donât like you (they donât even like themselves) and pour gas on the fire 13. Periodically sell low ticket offers where lots of customers buy and have to email you to get a link back for the bonus(es) 14. Donât worry about offending the dogs, concentrate on selling the foxes (more Gary Halbert wisdom) 15. Get a free test drive of the platform I co-created with a former Navy Nuclear Engineer-turned-software developer who was also the Executive Director of Technology at Encyclopedia Brittanica and ran a multi-seven figure SEO company (i.e., knows what Google really wants, not what they say they do), after which he did the testing/tracking/automation for as many as 50 million emails per month for his clients as an email automation consultant. No credit card is needed. So you can play with the platform to see if it's your bag or not. Here's is the link: [httpsâ¶//www.EmailPlayers.com/berserker]( Ben Settle P.S. If you have no email broadcasting/autoresponder platform you're using then I suggest doing the following even though it could very well mean you using a different platform than the one I co-created at the link above: 1. Get test drives at several platforms as well as at BerserkerMail 2. See which interface you like most, that will be more likely to get you using it to send emails (the primary job of an email marketer), as if you don't ever send emails because it's too tedious, too complex, too frustrating, what is the point? How you gonna make any sales? This is why price shopping is a false economy when it comes to email platforms. 3. Pick that one you are most comfy with and run with it The above suggesting is totally "rigged" in my favor of course. I am not saying everyone who does the above will want to use BerserkerMail. Some people think using more complex, more pointless features they will never use (and that nobody else uses either, but you all pay for them anyway) is ideal. Yes, there are people who do make decisions that way, apparently. And I say all the power to 'em. But they probably won't want anything to do with BerserkerMail. From what I hear from the market (not just my opinion) nobody has as user-friendly an interface as BerserkerMail. Even the ones that did have decent interfaces ten years ago are, I hear tell (going on what the market tells me not just my opinion), dropping the ball - going out of their way to make things more complex, adding more steps/boxes ticked/screens navigated/time wasted... just to load and send a friggin' email, which is the primary purpose of an email broadcasting/autoresponder platform. It's why we designed BerserkerMail the way we did: The first and most important function of any email platform is sending emails & helping clients get as high of deliverability as a platform can. It's not all dorky the little bells & whistles and feature comparison charts, and DEI ("diversity, equality & inclusion" virtue signaling that we think is stupid and evil at BerserkerMail) or other fluffpreneur-bait I keep hearing the big ESP's are splattering all over their pages these days. All right, I probably said enough to set the affiliate shills for other platforms off. So my job here is done..
