'Yes, by emailing more often, I'll tell you now, there were typos in those emails. Absolutely...
But they were sent, and that was the thing I was committed to.'
'You have to decide what you will and what you will not talk about...
You can put your own boundaries... Don't feel like you have to share everything.'
'Yes, you get people unsubscribing, yes, that is gonna happen. But the people who stick around are the ones who actually want to solve the problem, and they want to hear from you.'
'If you email more often, which is what I do, I email every day, I'm getting 365 tries a year at figuring out the perfect message...
Every day is a new chance for you to show up and test a new message.'
'By sending more regular emails, my ability to re-engage email subscribers is way better than anybody else I know...
So for example, I'm emailing say 30 days in a 30 day month. That means if the person hasn't opened or clicked an email in 30 days, I know they've had at least 30 emails.'
'One of the reasons I try and always write my daily emails in real time, that like that day rather than batching them...
It's much more like reality TV... They get to see the different moods you are in.'
'And when you're sending that many emails, you'll find that you do start bringing more of yourself into them.
And that means people come up to you and say, oh, I've got a cat too, I really love cats...
And when they do that, what are they proving? They're proving that they know you. They know things about you.'
'What's really interesting about email open rates... So for most people, they'd be happy with an email open rate of, I don't know, 30, 40%. But even if you're getting 40% open rate and you've got a sizable email list, that means that 60% of the email list are not really reading your emails... By emailing more than one a week, every day, I found that across a week, more than 80%... of people on our email list will open an email in a week's period.'
'First of all, one of the things you have to do in order to make this work is you have to give yourself permission, and I know it sounds kind of crazy... So there's three things I did to give myself permission. The first thing was, I told people that at the point of signing up, I said, this is what you're gonna be getting.'
'Yes, it does sound like a lot, doesn't it? Like, I'm gonna email my list every single day, and I've been doing it for more than 10 years. In fact, I've done it in multiple industries, done it B2B and B2C.'
