If you’ve ever ghosted your email list (whether intentionally or not), you’re not alone! In this episode, I’m sharing a big surprise I discovered while reviving my neglected email list for an online side business that I own—and a surprising decision I made as a result.

If you haven’t listened to Episode 82 yet, go back to hear all the things not to do when starting email marketing. But this week, I’m updating you on my progress: the surprise I found when I dug into my list, and why I suddenly completely changed direction from my original email marketing plans. You might be surprised by my advice at the end!

In this episode, we’ll cover:
  • The surprise that changed my perspective on my “dead” email list
  • Why email marketing can work for you, even when you aren’t working
  • The strategy behind re-engaging cold subscribers (without tanking your sender reputation)
  • Why I didn’t move my list to a new email platform—yet
  • How online business owners often jump ahead of where they are (and how I’m avoiding that mistake)
  • The reality (i.e. limitations) of using MailChimp’s free plan 
  • How to stay financially smart with your onlines business decisions

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
