[4]
of the most important parts of your
[5]
business
[6]
we are
[8]
oh
[10]
okay
[11]
for everyone else though the data tells
[13]
us that there are 4.3 billion with a b
[17]
email users worldwide with literally
[19]
more than half of the planet using email
[21]
your business can't afford to not have
[23]
an email marketing strategy and unlike
[25]
those social media platforms with their
[26]
confusing features and constantly
[28]
changing algorithm and no one liking
[30]
your posts for whatever reason email
[32]
marketing is relatively straightforward
[34]
what's up i'm jamal from hubspot in this
[36]
video i'm going to teach you the basics
[37]
of email marketing setting you up with a
[39]
foundation for success that can last for
[41]
years if you find this useful be sure to
[43]
like this video and subscribe to the
[44]
hubspot youtube channel
[49]
so how do you become a master email
[52]
marketer put simply it's divided into
[53]
three steps
[55]
one build your list two maintain the
[58]
health of that list and three email it
[60]
lists with valuable content every time
[63]
let's start by building your list when
[65]
building your email list there's really
[67]
one rule and one rule only and that's
[69]
never buy or rent a list and actually
[72]
there are more rules but let's just
[73]
focus on that one for now buying or
[75]
renting an email list can lead to low
[77]
open rates bad brand appearance and even
[79]
hefty fines from privacy protection
[81]
agencies so what should you do to build
[84]
up a quality email list well here at
[86]
hubspot we built our email list by
[87]
producing free ebooks that users
[89]
discovered when searching for topics
[90]
like introduction to data visualization
[92]
or how to become an influencer maybe you
[95]
can offer a free child of your service
[96]
or an online seminar or other experience
[98]
whatever you offer it needs to be
[100]
something valuable enough to convince
[102]
users to part with their personal email
[104]
information in addition to the landing
[105]
page most websites will let you place a
[107]
pop-up to collect email set one to
[110]
appear after the user has spent some
[111]
time on your site which indicates that
[113]
they're receiving value and might be
[114]
open to more information and if your
[116]
business involves online ordering make
[118]
sure customers are prompted to opt in to
[120]
your email list when making a purchase
[122]
why is it important that users opt in
[125]
well having users opt-in means they want
[127]
to hear from you it also keeps you
[128]
compliant with the ever stricter
[130]
anti-spam policies being implemented by
[132]
governments as well as email services
[134]
themselves a double opt-in is even more
[136]
effective since it requires the user to
[138]
open and click an automated email they
[140]
receive when signing up this not only
[142]
prevents users from giving fake emails
[144]
but it also trains their email app to
[146]
recognize quality messages from you and
[149]
with that
[150]
we just thought to spam folder
[152]
way to go how you go about building your
[153]
email list we'll set the stage for
[155]
future success but just as important is
[158]
how you maintain your list this means
[160]
periodically scrubbing your email list
[161]
to remove emails that bounce or
[163]
addresses that never open your emails a
[165]
good rule of thumb is to scrub your list
[167]
every 6 to 12 months you might be
[169]
wondering what's the harm in emailing
[172]
people who don't open them right like
[173]
why can't i just i should be able to do
[175]
that right well another metric that
[177]
email algorithms use to determine if
[179]
something is spam is the engagement
[181]
ratio the more you send emails that
[183]
never get open the more likely the email
[185]
services will eventually categorize your
[187]
emails as spam make sense the good news
[190]
is that despite these increasing
[191]
obstacles to email deliverability the
[193]
overall value of email marketing is
[195]
actually on the rise in 2010 digital
[198]
marketing association put the return on
[200]
email marketing at forty dollars for
[201]
every dollar spent by 2019 that return
[203]
increased to 42 for every dollar spent
[206]
why has the roi gone up because i'm
[208]
opening everyone's emails for them
[210]
no but actually though a major reason is
[212]
an increased use of segmentation in
[214]
email marketing segmentation means
[216]
dividing your email list into smaller
[218]
groups so you can send each segment
[219]
content specific to their interest you
[221]
can segment your list by demographic
[223]
data like location company size or
[226]
anything else that's important for your
[227]
business but the real email ninjas use
[229]
what's called behavioral segmentation
[231]
which is grouping based on how the user
[233]
previously interacted with your brand
[234]
things like previous purchases life
[236]
cycle stages and customer loyalty
[238]
creating triggered email flows for
[240]
specific behaviors allow you to be
[241]
responsive to your users needs so it's
[244]
no wonder that 77 of email marketing roi
[246]
comes from these sorts of segmented
[248]
targeted trigger campaigns it's the best
[250]
tool for giving your audience the
[251]
valuable content they'll want to open
[253]
because they know it's tailored to their
[255]
interests and that
[257]
that's inbound baby which brings us to
[259]
our final step in mastering email
[260]
marketing send valuable emails the
[263]
average office worker receives around
[265]
120 emails per day that is many
[269]
out of that 120 40 are important
[272]
business emails that require response
[274]
that leaves 80 other emails vying for
[277]
attention the only way to stand out is
[279]
by having a super clickbait title for
[281]
the subject line
[283]
that's a real tip you should do that
[286]
no the only actual way is to stand out
[288]
by offering something your subscribers
[290]
want to click on because it somehow
[291]
improves their lives think about a
[293]
company like opentable who uses
[294]
subscribers past behavior to offer
[296]
useful discounts or recommend new
[298]
restaurants or spotify who send regular
[301]
emails notifying users of new music by
[304]
artists they follow these are great
[306]
examples of valuable emails that
[307]
subscribers want to receive and are
[309]
happy to open one more useful tip
[312]
whenever you're recommending something
[313]
to your subscriber be sure to remind
[316]
them of the activity that triggered the
[317]
recommendation that way they associate
[319]
the good feeling of the previous
[321]
experience with the new one you're
[323]
offering now
[324]
when it comes to emails conveying value
[326]
starts with the subject line this can
[328]
mean literally telling the recipient
[329]
what they'll get from opening the email
[332]
and try to do it in 50 characters or
[334]
less use those 50 characters to pique
[336]
the customer's interest don't give
[337]
everything away up front like me with
[340]
bobby jenkins in the fourth grade i gave
[341]
him
[343]
my goku action figure and then he just
[346]
he didn't talk to me anymore after that
[348]
leave a bit of mystery so they'll feel
[350]
compelled to open the email to no more
[352]
just be sure that whatever you tease in
[353]
the subject line is actually delivered
[355]
in the body of the email no one likes
[357]
deceptive click-baity subject lines i
[359]
was kidding before and 69 of spam
[362]
reports come from subject lines alone so
[365]
watch out now you can also use the
[367]
preheader that is the first few words in
[369]
the body of your email that get
[370]
previewed in your inbox to support the
[372]
subject line most email marketing
[373]
systems will allow you to set the
[375]
pre-header when you enter the subject
[376]
line so you don't have to worry about
[377]
altering the actual body copy of your
[380]
email and always a b tests your subject
[382]
lines so that each email you send
[384]
teaches you something for the next one
[386]
so all the messages from your email list
[389]
have been delivered and thanks to your
[390]
brilliant subject line and pre-header
[392]
good job folks are itching to read what
[394]
you sent them so
[396]
what are you going to say
[402]
crafting killer email copy could be its
[404]
own video until that time
[406]
here's some tips tip number one
[408]
keep text neat and simple with the main
[410]
point upfront use short sentences with
[413]
lots of paragraph breaks save those
[415]
verbose think pieces for your blog this
[418]
is an email tip number two write for
[420]
your audience remember those list
[422]
segments we made this is why they're so
[424]
important and tip number three write in
[426]
a friendly one-to-one style this isn't
[428]
just a good way to treat your customers
[430]

[431]
getting tagged as spam and speaking of
[434]
