[5 Easy Steps!] DIY Email Marketing
In the video above, you’ll find out how I achieve astounding email marketing open & click-through rates using a simple 5 step process.
The email campaign I feature in the video was sent 3,911 contacts, and you’ll notice the open rate is above 34%, and the click through rate flirts with 8%.
How do I get such glorious numbers?
I apply a simple 5 step process, and here it is:
Step 1: List Management
I make sure mailing lists I manage are current. I take out email addresses that bounced and addresses that have not opened emails in X number of weeks/months.
Step 2: Subject Lines
I write compelling subject lines and intro text that are irresistible without being spammy, often merging first names, my contacts’ city, etc.
Step 3: Template Responsiveness
Because you have no way of knowing what type of device will be used to read your emails, you have to make certain your email templates offer the best possible user experience.
Here’s the template I used in the video:

You’ll notice it looks great on a desktop computer, but since the template was designed for mobile users first, the user experience gets even better on mobile phones.
Step 4: Calls To Action
All the emails I produce are visual masterpieces that feature strong calls to action that are placed strategically throughout each email template. Then I make sure to send contacts to landing pages that are intelligently designed to convert prospects optimally.
Step 5: Deliverability
There are certain times of the day and specific days when readers are more likely to open and read emails. So, I make sure I send emails on days and at times that will maximize open & click-through rates.
There you have it!
