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.

Ep 784 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART THREE: FREEZE RESPONSE

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you just can’t get yourself to sell or take action in your business… this episode will explain exactly why.

What most people label as procrastination or lack of discipline is often a nervous system response called freeze, and it quietly impacts your income more than you realize.

In this episode, I break down how the freeze response shows up specifically around money, sales, and visibility. You’ll understand why you can know exactly what to do and still not do it, how your brain is wired to avoid perceived financial risk, and why your income can stall even when you’re “doing all the right things.”

This is where neuroscience, psychology, and money behavior intersect.

Ep 783 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART TWO: FLIGHT RESPONSE

You tell yourself you’ll deal with it later.
You’ll check your numbers tomorrow.
You’ll follow up next week.
You’ll finally get clear on your money “when things calm down.”

But that moment never seems to come.
And instead… you stay busy doing everything else.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the flight response with money — the pattern that looks like procrastination, distraction, or “being busy,” but is actually your nervous system trying to avoid discomfort.

This is part of a special series on money, fear, and your nervous system, where we uncover how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses shape your income, business decisions, and ability to receive more.

Because avoiding money doesn’t mean you don’t care about it.
It usually means, on a deeper level…
it doesn’t feel safe.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the fight response with money — how it shows up, why it gets rewarded, and how it can quietly block your ability to receive more.

This is part of a special series on money, fear, and your nervous system, where we unpack how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses impact your income, business growth, and financial patterns.

Because making more money isn’t just strategy.
It’s about whether your body feels safe to hold it.
