    I’m afraid that weekly emails will get me blocked. I target educators and their emails are crazy inundated.

    This is right on time for me. My email list has grown a ton since going LIVE more but I’m like now what to send them. I use to email only monthly or sporadic but I’m thinking weekly. Thank you this is helpful ❤👏💯

    Oooo I just thought of a good one. I’m running on bald tires and getting new ones Friday. I was trying to come up with something to go with refreshing your social media graphics when they’ve been over-used.

    Wish I could have caught this from the beginning – it’s my specialty. I’ll have to check out the replay. You should do a follow up on the technical aspects like keeping your list clean, monitoring domain reputation, etc.

      All of those things are sooo important too. I don’t think people realize how robust email marketing really is.

    I’m like that with email. I’m lazy about wanting to write them. I’m going to start making them short and punchy.

    Kate Is there anyway to control how long it takes for your customer to get the confirmation email on your funnel? It seems like mine takes forever to go out. But I placed an order with a customer in the UK last week, and got their confirmation immediately.

      It’s Mailchimp not you. On your Thank You Page be sure to mention it takes a couple of minutes but how it’s soooo worth it.

      I’m on it…. Thanks. Is there a better EP that is also compatible with WP

    • Kate Doster
      Kate Doster on April 5, 2018 at 12:57 am

      If you want to stick with free and you don’t have too many products or autoresponder Mailerlite is excellent. If you’re looking for something more advance or you have big plans for your email marketing I would go with Convertkit. It’s easy to use and does alot of the stuff you’d paid hundreds more for a month.

      Kate Doster on April 5, 2018 at 12:59 am

      No i wasn’t rolling my eyes at you…just mailchimp. They are Notorious for that.

    Kate Doster What is the Power 3?

    • Kate Doster
      Kate Doster on April 5, 2018 at 1:00 am

      Power 3 – 1. Your freebie 2. A quick tip based on your freebie (normally hands on like download this, do that) 3. A Personal story or Soapbox rant about your industry.
