Email Deliverability

Start Engagement From Day One 

Email marketing is a great way to grow your business and make sales, but, the first hurdle in email marketing is email deliverability, or making sure that your emails are reaching your subscribers and they are opening them. There are ways to make that happen and the following is one that you can easily do. 

I’m sure you’ve heard that readers have to “know, like, and trust” you before they’ll consider spending money with you. 

That’s why it is so important to write engaging emails, ones that start a conversation between you and your target audience.

And the best time to start that conversation is on day one. Not only will it help you build your business and learn more about your customers, but it will also help with email deliverability. I don’t have to tell you that spam filters catch more and more emails, particularly if you’re marketing a product or service in them. Add to that the Gmail promotions tab, and it’s a wonder that anyone actually sees and reads your emails.

Benefits of Using Templates in Your Business

the benefits of using templates in your businessDo you use templates in your business? Most of us have a few places we use them, but you probably didn’t realize that they can save you time (and offer other benefits) in every area of your business. If you’re not using templates now, it’s time to start.

What Are Business Templates?

Business templates are readymade documents where you change just a few details each time you use them. You save the template on your computer or online and whenever you need to create that type of content, you use the template.

Here’s a list of possible Templates which can be used for various purposes:

Are You Hiding From Your Business?

are you hiding from your business - life coach associationIf you are thinking that the day-to-day tasks of your business are becoming a burden, you may just find that running your business is so overwhelming, that you ‘hide’ from it day after day. It can be simple tasks – like writing an email, or calling up the professionals (similar to the ones who provide Janitorial Cleaning Kingston) for the monthly cleaning of your office!

You procrastinate. You spend whole days not doing the tasks or in not involving yourself in the routines you know you ought to create… or you camouflage your procrastination by making yourself busy as a bee with business activities that do nothing to further your goals.

You soothe yourself over these non-essential activities by saying things like, “well, spending time on social media is essential” or “well, learning the history behind the evolution of modern radio will give more depth to my podcasts” or “well, one day I’m going to write a book, so taking a course on formatting for Kindle was a good idea”.

You want to be the best coach possible, so that you can fully support your clients during transformation and change. But what makes a good coach great? Answer: the learnable skills they develop.

Tips on Outsourcing to Reduce Business Overwhelm

Tips for outsourcingA big reason for online business-owner overwhelm is not knowing when, and how to use outsourcing.

Mistake number one: Being unable to delegate and let go-even when you’re paying someone to do a specific task for you. (Micro-managing is a sure-fire way to alienate your contractors.)

Mistake number two: Not making an outsourcing plan. As you might guess, this can’t start too early. The best time to look ahead and decide exactly what you want to outsource (and how much you will need to budget for it) is when you first identify your mission and goals.

What do you outsource? A common answer is “administrative duties”. But, in fact, you should outsource any part of your business that can drain energy from your main mission. 

Anyway, let us take one more example to understand the above-mentioned words better. If you’re actually a good bookkeeper, but that was the very profession you left in order to start coaching, don’t do your own books. During the time you are doing your books, you’re not making money, and you’re not creating the strong connections with your audience that your business needs. So, plan to outsource it.
