Email Marketing for Digital Creators
All you need to build trust, boost sales and connect with your audience.
For Memberships. Courses. Masterminds. Programs. Digital Downloads. The Works.
Leveraged. Scalable. Flexible. Freedom giving.
Online offers are the answer - or so they say.
What they don't tell you is that there is A LOT of work that goes on behind the scenes. And much of that secret sauce is email marketing.
This is what is hiding underneath the tip of the iceberg:
> A quantity focused, email list building strategy to get high numbers onto your email list – a must-have for online course creators ready to scale
> Self Liquidating Offers, Tripwires, Upsells and Evergreen Funnels carefully crafted to maximise conversions
> Launch strategies that go for months with pre-launch warmup, waitlists, webinars or challenges and, of course, the open cart
> Onboarding, off boarding and retention strategies to maximise repeat business – crucial for online course creators looking to increase lifetime customer value
> Constant analysis of numbers and conversion rates to optimise every step
It's A LOT!
But the good news is once you have it set up, it just runs. And that's where the promised freedom comes in.
EMAIL MARKETING IS THE BACKBONE TO MAKING IT HAPPEN
HERE'S A FEW WAYS TO MAKE THAT ALL EASIER & QUICKER FOR YOU
Make your lead magnets irresistible
Skip generic and predictable. Instead hone on in a key pain point and give them a quick win.
Segment your audience from the start
Send different emails to different subscribers based around what you know about them and what actions they have taken. This way you'll be nurturing those who need more detail and selling to those who are ready to go.
Integrate with all your extra apps
The more you know the better. Connect your email marketing software with your Cart, Learning Management System, Forms, Contracts and even Meta ads.
This is what makes onboarding and selling seamless. And less opportunities for dropoff.
Get more out of every email you send
Make it easy for subscribers to get on waitlist, join your programs or engage with your prelaunch content through smart header and footer blocks.
This is also the place to add conversion boosting details like testimonials, quick-answer icons and social proof. Building that anticipation.
Get instant feedback on ideas and offers
Don't create before you sell. Instead, get solid proof your subscribers want what you have to offer through soft launches and beta rounds.
By having an email list you have a go to audience which can validate your ideas before you create the thing.
It may take some time to land on the right idea but a lot less time than creating something for 2 years and getting the same result.
Make data driven decisions
Selling and launching can be emotional - but your decisions shouldn't be based on emotion.
Understanding and interpreting your data will be what tells you what is working and what isn't. So you focus your time and energy on the 20% of changes that will really impact your bottom line.

What software should I use?
Good question! And the answer is whatever you will actually use!
So if you are already using something, you are happy enough with it and it has the functionality your growing business needs then no need to switch "just because".
You may also already have email marketing built in with your sales and delivery platform. As long as this isn't holding you back from key features. That's ok.
But if I were to recommend something…
It would be MailerLite if you just need something simple to start
Not only does it provide all the essential email marketing functionality, it does it at a fantastic introductory price and is very simple to use.
Or if you want have a lot of different scenarios and/or you want to manage multiple offers and audiences, I would suggest ActiveCampaign.
A versatile email marketing platform designed for businesses that want to do it all. With advanced automation and CRM capabilities it’s perfect for those looking for flexibility and scalability.
