Email Marketing & The Competitive Edge


Email marketing has become an essential component of any successful marketing strategy, and modern social sellers are no exception. 


Social media is saturated with competitors making it harder for Modern Social Sellers to stand out from the crowd, and email marketing provides a competitive edge, offering a direct line of communication to a captive audience who has already expressed an interest.


This highly effective strategy builds relationships with prospects and customers while promoting a social seller's brand in an authentic way- increasing intimacy and sales.


What’s Holding Modern Social Sellers Back From List Building?


Typically, only the top earners in a given company leverage the power of list building and email marketing, and it's because most network marketers think it requires a huge budget and a ton of time to build and nurture an email list.


But that's simply not true!


After serving personality brands in the digital marketing space for the last three years (and coaching 100's of other marketing agency owners to online success), I’ve realized that many marketing agency owners, especially those that specialize in paid advertising, aren’t willing to offer network marketers free strategy calls.


So more often than not, Social Sellers who want to leverage an email marketing strategy, must either invest in a high-level mastermind, or figure it out solo.


And thats simply not fair!


Social Sellers are Personality Brands and like any other online business, email marketing provides extensive leverage and influence. 


The most important take away here is this…


People don’t buy into your products or your company what they buy into is YOU! 


So above all it's imperative to create a customer journey in that moves people through the buying process. I get it! Most social sellers have no clue how to create a funnel page to capture people's information, nor do they know how to write an automated email nurture sequence that builds know, like, and trust. 


Therefore, it’s there's this massive sense of  overwhelm that keeps Social Sellers from deploying this effective, traditional marketing strategy in their business. 


And that’s why I’m here! 


To break down the barriers and bridge the gap, so Social Sellers can get started in few simple steps while avoiding the overwhelm completely! 



Email Marketing Ignites Attraction Marketing & Turns Leads Into Customers


Attraction Marketing has enabled Modern Social Sellers to attract ideal leads without the need for spammy tactics like cold dm’s and company graphics with lazy “help me reach my goal” copy. 


What they don’t know is that social media algorithms typically only share their content with an average of 6% of their warm market. Yikes!


This means building and nurturing takes a ton of time.


See Attraction Marketing is only the front end of a full marketing strategy. You still need to develop know, like, and trust and build a relationship based on value before offering someone a solution. 


And that requires allowing leads to spend time with you and evaluate your solution before you call them to action.


It's no secret. Many social sellers spend a significant amount of time each week creating content and nurturing relationships in their dm’s. Email marketing enables you to get more eyes on your message, and automate relationship building, without being attached to your device 24/7.


If you’re willing, email marketing can help you create massive Authority and Influence. Here are 5 reasons why leveraging email marketing for your business today is the most modern thing you could do for your biz.


     1. You don’t actually own your contacts on a social platform and you rely solely on social media    algorithms to deliver it. If #platform down trends, you get banned, or locked out, you lose access          to your people. Email marketing allows social sellers to communicate directly with prospects and customers in a personal and targeted way. By providing valuable content, promotions, and updates, social sellers can build trust and establish long-term relationships with their audience.


     2. It’s the number one way to drive traffic and sales for social sellers as it's the second most effective channel for sales, following organic search. Email marketing can effectively drive traffic to a social seller's website or landing page, and ultimately, increase sales. By including calls-to-action and promotions in their emails, social sellers can encourage subscribers to take action and make a purchase.


     3. It provides massive value and positions you as an authority people trust. Providing relevant information helps Social Sellers establish themselves as experts in their field while building influence. This helps convert leads into customers as they learn to like and trust you and the solution you're providing.


     4. It enables automation and segmentation. With email marketing, social sellers can segment their audience based on factors such as interests or behavior, allowing them to tailor their messaging to specific groups. This can increase engagement and sales, while allowing them to automate initial emails into an evergreen nurture sequence that works 24/7 to build relationships. 


     5. Email marketing is a low-cost marketing channel making it an attractive option for social sellers looking for big returns on a small budget. According to a study by DMA (Data & Marketing Association) email marketing has a media ROI (Return on Investment) of 42:1. Meaning for every $1 spent, the average return was $42. Not bad, right? 



All in all, email marketing can be a highly effective tool for modern social sellers, allowing them to build relationships, drive traffic and sales, and provide value to their subscribers.

As a personality brand you likely need to master both content writing and copywriting unless you outsource your marketing and social media management. Ask yourself this question first and foremost… What is my purpose for writing? Content Writing If your goal is to deliver value... and you want to inform, entertain, provide value, and get people to spend time with you and your brand then Content Writing is your jam. Content writing takes many forms from quick tips to long form storytelling. It comes in many packages including blogs (this is content writing), social media posts, articles, emails, newsletters, and e-books. SEO is a key component of content writing because it enables your content to be found. It is why I’ve included a blog on my website. This doesn’t mean you have to be an SEO expert. I’m a big proponent of focusing on your zone of genius and outsourcing/getting help with the rest, so you can stay in your lane. Strategy is important and I highly recommend producing content that is Evergreen. It is possible to repurpose content on multiple platforms, and I highly encourage you to do so. Copywriting The difference between good copywriting and great copywriting is... the latter takes the SELLING out of SOLD. Pun intended. The goal of copywriting is to persuade someone to take action. If done well it leaves the person wandering how in the world this person violated my head space. Their next steps are clear and it leaves people more afraid of missing out on what you have to offer than about the cost of working with you or buying your course. It can be short or long form. It's no secret that today many of the most successful brands are storytellers. This is because storytelling brings a human dimension to the customer journey that accelerates know, like, and trust. Empathy plays an important role here and is woven into the art of persuasion. Unlike content writing, copywriting only requires a basic understanding of SEO. The ads you see online, in magazines, and on television are all examples of copywriting. It's imperative to focus on one call to action per landing page or email. When people are faced with too many decisions it creates noise and confuses the reader. This can most certainly inhibit the decision making process. Make your call to action clear and concise. The chart below is great for a quick reference:

How To Turn Your Idea Into Content!

It’s true, like 100% in the bag, all joking aside and it may be difficult to hear... Your business, the one you spent your very livelihood building, well, it’s NOT about you. Stop spending countless hours on activities geared towards selling yourself to your ideal client. If you want new clients... If you want to book out your coaching calendar... you’ve got to meet your clients where they’re at and craft messaging that speaks to their soul. And to do this you have to have a very vivid, detailed picture of who your ideal client is. I’m not talking surface level here. You need to know what keeps them up at night. What fears do they have that maybe they have not yet fully realized. And as a result of this, what are they thinking, feeling, and doing that continues to keep them stuck. When you bring light to this, then and only then, can they possibly receive what you have to offer. If DONE well your marketing will leave them wondering how in the h*** you violated their headspace. If you're having difficulty landing clients (outside of targeting the wrong audience) it’s likely because of one of 3 core reasons. ✔️ They don’t believe in your product/service. ✔️ They don’t believe in YOU. ✔️ They don’t believe in themselves. Here’s a few things you can do differently, starting today, that will help... Instead of outlining what services you provide and how great they are, speak to the client's pain. Show them what’s possible instead of telling them. Stories are the number one way to do this. It’s a topic so important I couldn’t begin to cover it, and do it justice here. In saying, I highly recommend purchasing Donald Miller’s, Building a Story Brand. Remember. Be open and honest about who you are and always, always lead with authenticity. It’s never a good idea to make unrealistic promises you can’t keep. Yet, it’s possible to show people what’s possible through the use of testimonials and case studies. Ask questions.. Ask about their concerns, fears, and what is holding them back. And then speak to these things. People NEED to be the hero of their own stories. So coaching is often about listening to a person’s problem and ensuring they are able to buy into their own vision. They must know transformation is possible. By focusing on these activities you will engage your potential client, build trust, and an open line of communication. There is no playbook! You’ve got to know what the person on the other end is thinking to be able to meet them where they are and help them in their journey. I leave you with one line. GO DEEPER.
