SEO for EMAIL +
8
1. Google SEO for Email Copying an “email” no longer works Use it as “guidance.”
9
Basic Example: Original: I have a very special video in which you’ll learn how to open your very own online business. Your Words: If you’ve been thinking of opening an online business, I have a very special video that you need to watch Still delivers same message but in your own voice.

2. Using FREE Email Service vs. Domain Name
11
2. Using FREE Email Service vs Domain Name Buy a $10 domain Forward it for FREE to your email service Trusted Domain Allows whitelisting Spam emails are sent generally from “free meals” You’re creating a “trusted sender image” with a real domain
12
3. List Scrubbing (Aka Delete Old Emails!)
13
3. List Scrubbing Why it’s important.. How you do it.. Don’t be afraid..
14
Example: Anik’s first time.. we deleted over 100,000 emails Results: Better opens (more actual openers) Better click (more clicks on email) Over time, these continued to increase due to domain trust
15
4. Link Cloaking
16
4. Link Cloaking: Why it’s Important for Your Business What is it… Why it is important
17
Why to Link Cloak.. Track Your Clicks (unique and raw) Track the locations Mobile vs. Desktop Real time data
18
Example: You send an email, you use a wrong link - can’t change it With link cloaking, you can go in, change the URL Doors closed on a offer? Redirect the traffic Offer not converting? Redirect the traffic Offer is down? Page crashed? Redirect the traffic
19
5. Best Time to Email?

WHEN is the Best Time to Email?? My PERSONAL experience with my tests 8AM - 9AM EST and 3PM - 4PM EST Sunday- Thursday BEST Fri (after 12pm EST) and Sat Worst

7. The “Ideal” Subject Line
26
Subject is one of the most CRITICAL components 50 characters or less (6 to 10 words max) “from name” CLEAR Avoid all caps, lots of punctuations, repetitive words or “trigger words”
27
8. Email Templates vs. Plain HTML
28
8. Email Templates = Promo Tab Naked HTML Emails Work Templates increase your chances in the promo tab Using the same TEMPLATE Using the same images (or ones that other’s offer) Using the same enders/signatures/legal mumbo jumbo
29
Final Results from Test? Open Rate of “Fancy” – 17.72% Click Through Rate of “Fancy” – 4.13% Open Rate of “Plain” – 20.37% Click Through Rate of Plain - 11.48%
30
9. Call To Action
31
9. Call to Action Bring it Early and Often This one is simple… Bring the call to action within the first few lines Offer it often (at least 3 times per email if possible) Use HTML cloaking to display for best results
32
10. Testing, Testing and Retesting
33
Test.. Test! Test! A Simple “Tweak” Can get you out the “junk and spam” box Means MORE Clicks and MORE Opens. Higher TRUST for domain & a potential white listing on your user’s email..
