Email marketing may seem old-fashioned in the current digital marketing landscape, but it’s still essential to communicating with your customers. Unlike social media channels, you have more control over your emails' messaging and scope of reach. However, sometimes your emails fail to reach your customers' inboxes and land elsewhere. How can you avoid that? How do you make the most out of your email marketing efforts?


In this episode, Sharran breaks down the seven lessons he learned from sending seven million emails. He wrote all the emails himself and analyzed the results, so he deeply understands what works and what doesn't.


Today's episode is not just informative but also tactical. If you can implement the strategies and tactics Sharran discusses, you will see a massive improvement in your email stats. So get ready to take notes.



“Everyone can write ChatGPT emails, and the more you see an ocean of mediocrity, the more your personal stuff will stand out.”
