Use Segmented Emails Strategically Create segments based on subscriber behavior and preferences. Use polls and interactive elements to gather data, then tag links to track which subscribers are interested in which offerings. 2. Build a Helpful, Responsive Website Your website should be fast-loading, mobile-friendly, and provide genuine value. Focus on Google's E-E-A-T framework: Experience, Expertise, Authority, and Trust. 3. Create Content on Your Website First Publish content on your website before sharing on social media. This builds your owned digital assets, improves SEO, and gives you more control over distribution. 4. Leverage Email Metrics for Continuous Improvement Track who opens, clicks, and takes action. Identify your most engaged subscribers and create VIP segments for them. Use this data to refine your messaging over time. 5. Implement Scheduled and Automated Email Sequences Set up automated sequences that trigger based on subscriber actions. Create welcome series, nurture campaigns, and re-engagement flows that work around the clock. 6. Repurpose Content Across Multiple Formats Take one long-form piece and break it into blog posts, social media updates, podcast episodes, videos, and email newsletters. Maximize your content creation efforts. 7. Focus on Long-term Relationship Building Not everyone opens emails the day you send them. Be consistent with your schedule, provide ongoing value, and build trust over time rather than chasing quick sales.
