4 Tips on How to Improve your Email Open-Rate and Grow your Email List Immediately EP082


You spend hours each month crafting perfect catchy and key-word heavy emails for your list, only to experience a less than 10% open rate.

This can be frustrating as hell, wondering if it’s even worth all of the time and effort.

To make matters worse, you hear #bossbabes on social media touting the importance of growing and nurturing your email list and a majority of their sales come from email marketing. WTF!!!!!

In full transparency, I built a 7-figure business without any email list. Truth be told, I could have an 8-figure business if I started building my email list from day one, 11 years ago. So with my second company ProjectME with Tiffany Carter, I was determined to learn from my mistakes. After all, I have been building and nurturing giant emails lists for years with mega corporate clients. So I know how it’s done, and I know what works and absolutely doesn’t.

So you all can feel a sense of relief, the average open rate ranges from 7% to 17% depending on the industry. Most people will open an email from their bank or doctor’s office over a service based business like computer software or your cable company.

But you don’t follow me to learn how to be average, you follow me to learn how to make massive cash and change in people’s lives. Today’s episode I will spill the tea on all things email marketing.

Welcome to ProjectME the Podcast with your host Tiffany Carter, who takes the mystery out of making BIG money. A former NBC and CBS TV journalist, turned multi-millionaire entrepreneur, teaching you all things wealth, health, worth, and business.
