Improve low open rates for your email newsletter and you'll often earn more revenue from your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the latest iOS updates make open rates less accurate, they\u2019re still relevant to determine the health of your list and the trend for how your email marketing is performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I 10x-ed my own open rates from below 5% to 46-50% on average.<\/strong> And I\u2019ll explain what I did, so you can get the same results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we dive into the meat of this email though, I want to introduce you to my friend Justin Moore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Justin is the founder of Creator Wizard and has a free weekly report that's gonna get you PAID!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join 6K+ creators & sign up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don't improve low open rates, you\u2019re leaving money on the table and are missing out on an opportunity to build a deeper relationship with your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Email marketing still generates a 42x ROI according to Oberlo but given the 330 billion emails hitting our inboxes every day, standing out in the inbox is harder than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You surely have tried more than once to \u201cmake email work\u201d. After all, neither you nor I want to be at the mercy of Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn algorithms to show our messages to our audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I started taking email seriously, writing newsletters felt like pulling teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I would have rather stuck my hand into a lawn mower than written an email newsletter I knew not even 1 in 20 subscribers would read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ok, that\u2019s a bit drastic but you get the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Putting effort into something you know won\u2019t pay off sucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet, we don\u2019t improve unless we repeat what we do and double down on what works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what I did to increase my email rate from 5% to 46-50% within roughly 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first hurdle you need to take is to actually show up in the inbox instead of going to spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I started by moving from ActiveCampaign to ConvertKit. Immediately, my open rate jumped from 5% to 15%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can get an extended trial for ConvertKit<\/a> because we\u2019re friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll also want to set up DKIM, SPF, and other technical records that your email service provider can help you with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The subject line decides whether or not your subscribers open your email once you\u2019ve made it to their inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what @ecomchasedimond<\/a> has to say about subject lines:<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy email open rates matter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
