5 stages of... email?


I'm gonna let you in to a little secret about effective email sequences today.

This is the core of all of the email sequences I create, and the reason why they help people print money.

It's also one of the key elements I'll be explaining in the upcoming email marketing workshop.

This approach is at the core of the below success.

In the above, we created a simple 2-week email sequence and sent it to a list that hadn't been emailed in 2 years.

But in those 2 weeks, we reactivated the list and made almost $14k by the end of the promo.

What's the secret?

You've got to think about WHY people buy - or more accurately why they DON'T buy.

A lot of people approach email promo sequences with the thought of...

"If I just say buuy now enough times, people will do it."

It don't work that way.

You have to consider the different cohorts within your audience and the adoption lenses they view offers through.

Here's what I mean.

Picture your audience.

Do they all have the same goals, struggles, and reasons for taking action?

No.

There will be overlaps, but to think they're all the same is madness.

That difference means they'll look at your offers through different lenses.

Some people are price sensitive and want to know what they're getting and the guarantees you offer to minimise risk.

Others are very technically minded and want to understand exactly how the thing works to make a more informed decision.

Others focus on the problem, some on the solution.

Some might be motivated by the transformation.

All of these people have different questions and hesitatiosn that stop them from buying.

A good email sequence doesn't say the same thing over and over again.

It addresses different problems at different points to remove obstacles and help people feel comfortable spending money.

Some people need only one, others need 2-3 to be addressed before they buy.

There's no exact science to this, but in the upcoming email marketing workshop I'm going to share the "catch all" plan I use.

This is a sequence I've used across different industries and price points that removes the majority of obstacles and helps your ideal customer feel comfortable buying.

Which is a fancy way of saying "this helps you make more cash".

Couple of days back I was on a consult with a GM+ member. They've just finished building some new offers, but wanted help in structuring the acquisition side of the equation. In 20 minutes, I mapped out a full $1 product funnel that: Had a potential order value of over $300 Reused 80% of assets they already had Needed maybe 1 hour of work to finish Will pre-sell these same users on their primary offer They're off working to et the thing live right now. And once they've got it up and running,...

Yo! I'm fast running out of time today so this is gonna be a super quick email. In GM+, we were analysing some AI-based front-end offers we've seen in the wild that are are selling for $7-$97. Simple stuff at their core. People create a custom AI agent that handles a painful problem for the target market. Sell access to it and the user gets the outcome in under 5 mins of effort. To better understand it, I've built my own and amd building a new funnel around it. I'll be launching ads for this...

Most people don’t have a strategy. They just copy what looks cool. ... Nice ad? Copy it.... Decent headline? Swipe it.... Pretty funnel? Clone it. But without knowing why it works... or even if it works, you’re just guessing on a faster timeline. The smart move? Look at what’s performing, then break it down. Who’s the ad really targeting? What problem is it addressing? Where does it sit in the funnel? What’s the angle behind the copy? If you get that right, you’re not just collecting tactics....
