| Email Marketing 039: The Non-Marketer's Guide to Getting 100 Subscribers with Andy Obusek | 13 Sep 2016 | 01:05:21 | |
Ah, yes! The first 100 subscriber mark. It is quite possibly the most rewarding benchmark in your email marketing adventures. If you haven't gotten there yet, that's not a problem! This episode is just for you. :) Join Tom T. as he chats with fellow AWeber team member, Andy Obusek of CleanSwifter.com, to dig into how he grew his list from 0 to 100 in just five months. Now, you may be thinking, "That's not a big deal, I attract 100 subscribers a week," or, "I hit my first 100 subscribers in way less time than that!" What makes Andy's experience unique is that, unlike so many of us who frequent this blog, he is not a marketer by trade. Andy is an iOS software developer and team lead, who feverishly guides our efforts in enhancing our Stats app. Andy wrote code, not copy. Andy's expertise was in refactoring, not retargeting. So how does a non-marketer with a passion to share go from Swift test automation to conversion rate optimization? And what does this mean for you? How can you apply Andy's learnings to help you get your first 100 subscribers, even if you're new to marketing? You'll just have to tune in to find out. Episode synopsisFinding your tribe and growing your list is not an easy feat, especially if email marketing is a brand new discipline. In this episode, you'll learn about the successes and failures of a passionate and unconventional non-marketer as he grew his list from 0 to 100 subscribers in just five months.

What if you had the power to create affordable and incredible game-changing content for your business and email marketing campaigns? Would you use it? As email marketers, we revel in the written word. However that means we often overlook one of the best ways to speak to our subscribers... which is literally speaking to our subscribers through video.

| Email Marketing 033: Epic email marketing tactics for independent authors with J. Thorn | 02 Aug 2016 | 00:46:32 | |
What are your deepest and darkest fears? For years, independent author J. Thorn has been exploring the question through his fear and fantasy fiction writing. He's sold over 150,000 copies of his work and topped the Amazon charts - once landing at #5 in Horror, next to his childhood favorites, Dean Koontz and Stephen King. Through his work, Thorn has developed a strong, unique voice, both in his respected genres and in the independent writers community. And he's leveraged that connection to his fans through email marketing. In this episode, we discuss valuable strategies that anyone - not just authors - can apply, to attract the right kind of subscribers, offer immediate value, engage their readers. We talk about the ways to maintain a consistently above-average open rate and find your ideal subscriber persona. We even break down J.'s unique lead magnet and welcome message, and what makes them so successful.

| Email Marketing 031: Email copywriting tactics from a daily sender with Ben Settle | 19 Jul 2016 | 00:46:45 | |
Are you using email marketing to generate an income? If not, do you want to? Writing to sell without feeling "salesy" or "sleazy" is a challenge. When it comes to selling via email, the autoresponder has made it possible to send a sequence of automated emails over time to ensure you get the right message to the right person when they need it most. Also known as "drip campaigns," marketers set up these automated emails to provide information about themselves, the problems they solve and the products they offer. You'll also find that many seasoned marketers teach their strategies and tactics for moving subscribers through the buyer "funnel" in a way that allows them to feel like they're "selling without selling." In fact, we've written a ton about mastering the autoresponder and creating sophisticated automated campaigns, too. (Not to mention, AWeber has been known for providing a great reliable email automation platform since 1998!) While drip campaigns can be effective, however, that's not the only way to influence people to buy your product or service. In this episode of the Ask Me About Email Marketing podcast, we talk with expert email copywriter, Ben Settle. Forget all the conventions of email marketing that you've clung to over the years and listen to this episode. Ben sends one to two emails a day to his main list with very few spam complaints.
