Side Hustle Spark 164: Email subject line tips from Copyblogger

December 28, 2020December 28, 2020 / TMH / Leave a comment

I thought I’d follow up the ’email subject lines that worked on me’ post with advice and research from Copyblogger’s Tim Stoddart. (NOTE: **Tim S. offers proven templates further down in the post. Be sure to score those.)

A few more highlights from his November 10, 2020 post:

7 out of 10 campaigns with emojis received more abuse reports.
In your A/B tests, change just one variable at a time.
Incorporate data in your subject lines.

Here’s hoping the holidays have yielded a few pleasant surprises for you all.

These are just a few points made during this YouTube Q. and A. by Drayton.

Another favorite point (it wouldn’t fit on the infographic ;->):

“If you cannot find something interesting about what you sell
–every day–
there’s something wrong with you.”

hustleandconquer gets to the heart of many side hustlers’ needs and interests.

Check out his Gumroad store, as well. His book selection has changed since I first visited, but his reasonably priced content is worth a look, including the possibility of a freebie or two.

Reminder: No one is giving me perks or $$ to promote. The sites look interesting and potentially valuable for folks looking to make some extra money. Even if the topics look overly familiar, the ideas and strategies behind them might be unique and more to your liking than others you’ve tried.

Sometimes, obvious stuff just flies right past you. (And by ‘you’, I mean ‘me’, but hey, why not drag someone else into my vortex of obliviousness?)

Somehow, despite having visited her website hustleandgroove.com and run across her books on Amazon, I’ve casually dropped the ball on highlighting her work.

My apologies.

Sticking with my ‘back to the basics’ thread from Spark #100, here is Lise’s methodical, thorough post on starting and maintaining a side hustle.

I think her ‘action steps’ corresponding to each of the steps set this post apart from others with the same focus.

NOTE: This post is from 2017. I asked if it’s been updated. Still valuable, but something to keep in mind.

Side Hustle Suggestion 96: Email marketing podcast (with Daniel Throssell)

September 19, 2020 / TMH / Leave a comment

Side Hustle Nation podcast episode #404 features Daniel Throssell of PersuasivePage.com

Four takeaways:

Let your personality come through. (That’s Daniel’s #1 tip.)
Create a lead magnet that folks will actually consume!
Don’t ‘templatize’ [my term] your welcome email.
Use personal stories, but keep them succinct. [Don’t evoke the ‘Ugh, this is filler!’ reaction.]

Gotta say, the Side Hustle Nation folks do a great job of listing the interview’s key points and their exact location for those of us who have an itchy fast-forward finger. Love that feature.
