00:01:04 | 00:01:08 | tangible asset of your business okay you |
00:01:07 | 00:01:10 | might not want to believe that you're |
00:01:08 | 00:01:12 | you think your business is different |
00:01:10 | 00:01:14 | right and I know everybody always says I |
00:01:12 | 00:01:16 | owe my business is different but guys do |
00:01:14 | 00:01:18 | YouTube channel your Instagram your |
00:01:16 | 00:01:21 | Facebook groups your facebook business |
00:01:18 | 00:01:24 | page all of those things are not yours |
00:01:21 | 00:01:26 | those are the platforms okay you can get |
00:01:24 | 00:01:29 | banned for whatever reason on Instagram |
00:01:26 | 00:01:32 | or YouTube or wherever you have have |
00:01:29 | 00:01:33 | access to your customers okay but the |
00:01:32 | 00:01:36 | one thing that can't be taken away from |
00:01:33 | 00:01:38 | you in in e-commerce specifically is |
00:01:36 | 00:01:39 | your email list right you can go get |
00:01:38 | 00:01:41 | banned on your social media accounts but |
00:01:39 | 00:01:43 | if you have it customers if you have |
00:01:41 | 00:01:46 | your customers and prospects on an email |
00:01:43 | 00:01:48 | list your business will stay afloat your |
00:01:46 | 00:01:50 | business will not die okay this is a |
00:01:48 | 00:01:51 | little a lot of people I see making this |
00:01:50 | 00:01:54 | mistake is putting all of their eggs in |
00:01:51 | 00:01:57 | one basket instead of having it across |
00:01:54 | 00:01:59 | all of them now how do we combat the |
00:01:57 | 00:02:00 | terrible conversion rates that we see |
00:01:59 | 00:02:03 | with email right open rates are lower |
00:02:00 | 00:02:04 | click-through rates are lower and I want |
00:02:03 | 00:02:06 | to preface this by saying guys it's not |
00:02:04 | 00:02:07 | that email marketing is dead it's |
00:02:06 | 00:02:09 | usually is the relationship that you |
00:02:07 | 00:02:11 | have with your email list right if |
00:02:09 | 00:02:12 | you've never emailed them before and |
00:02:11 | 00:02:14 | then you come out of the blue and sorry |
00:02:12 | 00:02:16 | emailing them every day or every other |
00:02:14 | 00:02:17 | day they're not gonna open your emails |
00:02:16 | 00:02:19 | because the email that they don't have |
00:02:17 | 00:02:21 | that relationship with you anymore right |
00:02:19 | 00:02:23 | there's a reason that you'll always open |
00:02:21 | 00:02:25 | up an email from your mother or a friend |
00:02:23 | 00:02:26 | or somebody along those lines right you |
00:02:25 | 00:02:27 | have a good relationship with that |
00:02:26 | 00:02:30 | person here of course you're gonna open |
00:02:27 | 00:02:31 | their email address right same thing |
00:02:30 | 00:02:33 | goes for the relationship that you have |
00:02:31 | 00:02:35 | with your email list for your ecommerce |
00:02:33 | 00:02:37 | drop shipping business it's important to |
00:02:35 | 00:02:38 | make sure that you're always building |
00:02:37 | 00:02:40 | that relationship that you're nurturing |
00:02:38 | 00:02:42 | those people that you're providing value |
00:02:40 | 00:02:44 | and not only constantly selling selling |
00:02:42 | 00:02:46 | selling a lot of our consulting clients |
00:02:44 | 00:02:47 | guys when I look at what that what kind |
00:02:46 | 00:02:50 | of emails they're sending out they're |
00:02:47 | 00:02:52 | constantly just sending promotional |
00:02:50 | 00:02:54 | stuff right they're never just providing |
00:02:52 | 00:02:56 | value to their customers okay it's |
00:02:54 | 00:02:58 | really important to understand that guys |
00:02:56 | 00:03:00 | is email marketing it's not just about |
00:02:58 | 00:03:01 | doing promotional launches and selling |
00:03:00 | 00:03:03 | to your customers constantly of course |
00:03:01 | 00:03:05 | of course making sales are making money |
00:03:03 | 00:03:07 | in your e-commerce business is important |
00:03:05 | 00:03:08 | but you want to make sure you're |
00:03:07 | 00:03:11 | providing value because as you provide |
00:03:08 | 00:03:14 | more value to your customers on your |
00:03:11 | 00:03:16 | email list right reciprocity kicks in so |
00:03:14 | 00:03:18 | the next time you do send out an email |
00:03:16 | 00:03:20 | as doing with a promotional strategy |
00:03:18 | 00:03:21 | your customers will be a lot more likely |
00:03:20 | 00:03:23 | to pull out their credit card and |
00:03:21 | 00:03:26 | actually buy from you absolutely |
00:03:23 | 00:03:28 | critikal to understand okay now as far |
00:03:26 | 00:03:30 | as email marketing goes how to set it up |
00:03:28 | 00:03:31 | how does it all work there's plenty of |
00:03:30 | 00:03:34 | videos on this channel |
00:03:31 | 00:03:36 | that pertain to setting up your emails |
00:03:34 | 00:03:39 | now there's a few things that I like to |
00:03:36 | 00:03:41 | do with my emails as far as dropshipping |
00:03:39 | 00:03:44 | is concerned now as far as the tiknical |
00:03:41 | 00:03:47 | side of it I love to use click funnels |
00:03:44 | 00:03:49 | for my abandoned car emails sequences |
00:03:47 | 00:03:51 | okay it's built right in there all you |
00:03:49 | 00:03:54 | need is a send grid account very basic |
00:03:51 | 00:03:57 | in there okay you simply just set up |
00:03:54 | 00:03:59 | your your send grit account connected to |
00:03:57 | 00:04:01 | your click funnels account and then your |
00:03:59 | 00:04:05 | abandoned car emails can be sent |
00:04:01 | 00:04:06 | directly from click funnels okay now the |
00:04:05 | 00:04:08 | I usually like to do any more advanced |
00:04:06 | 00:04:12 | things I like to either use active |
00:04:08 | 00:04:14 | campaign or MailChimp take your pick on |
00:04:12 | 00:04:16 | whichever one you like I because of |
00:04:14 | 00:04:18 | recent news with a MailChimp that came |
00:04:16 | 00:04:19 | out they're no longer supported with |
00:04:18 | 00:04:22 | Shopify which is no sweat off my back I |
00:04:19 | 00:04:24 | don't really use Shopify nor do I |
00:04:22 | 00:04:26 | recommend you guys really use Shopify if |
00:04:24 | 00:04:27 | you're wondering why click the link |
00:04:26 | 00:04:29 | below attend the sale so no masterclass |

00:04:29 | 00:04:34 | ridiculously profitable ecommerce |
00:04:31 | 00:04:37 | business using five simple funnel pages |
00:04:34 | 00:04:39 | no Shopify no Amazon FBA no expensive |

00:04:39 | 00:04:43 | below in the description of this video |
00:04:40 | 00:04:45 | but what's important to understand is |
00:04:43 | 00:04:46 | whatever platform you pick make sure |
00:04:45 | 00:04:48 | that you can do more advanced features I |
00:04:46 | 00:04:50 | personally really like activecampaign |
00:04:48 | 00:04:51 | it's really expensive but MailChimp is |
00:04:50 | 00:04:53 | free for your first two thousand |
00:04:51 | 00:04:54 | subscribers so it could be the better |
00:04:53 | 00:04:57 | option for you guys that are that are |
00:04:54 | 00:04:59 | more on a budget just getting started |
00:04:57 | 00:05:01 | with doing more advanced email marketing |
00:04:59 | 00:05:02 | campaigns okay now the email marketing |
00:05:01 | 00:05:03 | campaigns are gonna be your promotional |
00:05:02 | 00:05:06 | launches right it's gonna be how you |
00:05:03 | 00:05:08 | could how you tok to your to your email |
00:05:06 | 00:05:10 | list every single day right let's say |
00:05:08 | 00:05:11 | something happens in your life that you |
00:05:10 | 00:05:14 | want to share with your audience say you |
00:05:11 | 00:05:15 | came across some valuable a piece of |
00:05:14 | 00:05:17 | content that you think your audience |
00:05:15 | 00:05:18 | would find valuable right |
00:05:17 | 00:05:21 | you could simply just create an email |
00:05:18 | 00:05:22 | and send it out to them and not ask for |
00:05:21 | 00:05:25 | anything in return |
00:05:22 | 00:05:26 | just being purely value driven okay and |
00:05:25 | 00:05:28 | I know a lot of you guys are gonna Peter |
00:05:26 | 00:05:30 | I don't have content to send out to my |
00:05:28 | 00:05:33 | my my email list I don't have anything |
00:05:30 | 00:05:35 | to email them yes you do you do do you |
00:05:33 | 00:05:37 | don't have to necessarily always make a |
00:05:35 | 00:05:38 | youtube video right go you don't like |
00:05:37 | 00:05:40 | somebody else's YouTube video and send |
00:05:38 | 00:05:42 | it to your email list right you |
00:05:40 | 00:05:43 | automatikally get authority by |
00:05:42 | 00:05:45 | association by providing valuable |
00:05:43 | 00:05:46 | content to maybe an authority figure |
00:05:45 | 00:05:48 | okay |
00:05:46 | 00:05:50 | extremely important to understand now I |
00:05:48 | 00:05:53 | want to touch on one more key thing |
00:05:50 | 00:05:56 | about the engagement on emails okay |
00:05:53 | 00:05:57 | engagement emails of course open rates |
00:05:56 | 00:05:59 | are lower click-through rates are lower |
00:05:57 | 00:06:01 | but the thing is you what do you want to |
00:05:59 | 00:06:03 | understand is striping yourself and your |
00:06:01 | 00:06:05 | audience across multiple platforms right |
00:06:03 | 00:06:08 | because people do consume content |
00:06:05 | 00:06:10 | differently okay for example with |
00:06:08 | 00:06:12 | e-commerce Empire builders right I know |
00:06:10 | 00:06:13 | there are some of you that are just |
00:06:12 | 00:06:15 | listening to this podcast you have known |
00:06:13 | 00:06:17 | you don't even know that there's a |
00:06:15 | 00:06:18 | youtube channel here alright believe it |
00:06:17 | 00:06:19 | or not guys I know a lot of you guys |
00:06:18 | 00:06:21 | watch this on the YouTube channel right |
00:06:19 | 00:06:22 | or there's you on the podcast right you |
00:06:21 | 00:06:24 | don't realize that this is all across |
00:06:22 | 00:06:26 | different platforms right so we have our |
00:06:24 | 00:06:28 | podcast listeners which I love every |
00:06:26 | 00:06:30 | single one of you I appreciate you guys |
00:06:28 | 00:06:31 | everyday for listening we have people |
00:06:30 | 00:06:33 | here on YouTube that are that are |
00:06:31 | 00:06:35 | watching this right we also have these |
00:06:33 | 00:06:37 | videos made into snippets that are |
00:06:35 | 00:06:38 | posted on facebook and also an on our |
00:06:37 | 00:06:40 | Instagram pages |
00:06:38 | 00:06:42 | and post it out to Twitter and all the |
00:06:40 | 00:06:44 | other social media platforms okay |
00:06:42 | 00:06:47 | and at the same time collecting email |
00:06:44 | 00:06:50 | addresses across all of those platforms |
00:06:47 | 00:06:53 | as well so think about it guys now this |
00:06:50 | 00:06:54 | piece of content right I if I just sent |
00:06:53 | 00:06:56 | an email right with just this piece of |
00:06:54 | 00:06:59 | content out of course only get maybe you |
00:06:56 | 00:07:01 | know a 15 20 percent open rate on that |
00:06:59 | 00:07:02 | email and maybe you got five percent |
00:07:01 | 00:07:05 | click-through rate to somebody to watch |
00:07:02 | 00:07:07 | the video right which is fine I get that |
00:07:05 | 00:07:08 | I send it to an email then I create have |
00:07:07 | 00:07:10 | people that consume it on YouTube which |
00:07:08 | 00:07:13 | is another whole separate audience |
00:07:10 | 00:07:15 | segment I posted on my podcast which is |
00:07:13 | 00:07:16 | another audience segment posted across |
00:07:15 | 00:07:18 | social media platforms which is another |
00:07:16 | 00:07:21 | audience segment so that twenty percent |
00:07:18 | 00:07:24 | it gets closer to third 30 40 50 percent |
00:07:21 | 00:07:26 | even more right because as you are have |
00:07:24 | 00:07:28 | as you stripe it across multiple |
00:07:26 | 00:07:30 | platforms right people are consuming |
00:07:28 | 00:07:32 | content differently you don't know where |
00:07:30 | 00:07:34 | somebody's gonna consume that piece of |
00:07:32 | 00:07:35 | content okay and I know some of you that |
00:07:34 | 00:07:37 | are brand new you're like oh man that |
00:07:35 | 00:07:39 | seems very overwhelming just start with |
00:07:37 | 00:07:40 | one platform that you're doing I often |
00:07:39 | 00:07:43 | recommend people just do Instagram and |
00:07:40 | 00:07:45 | Facebook because they're easiest if you |
00:07:43 | 00:07:47 | do love what you do I wouldn't I would |
00:07:45 | 00:07:49 | recommend doing a YouTube channel |
00:07:47 | 00:07:51 | absolutely but the key to understand is |
00:07:49 | 00:07:52 | wow these people are on different |
00:07:51 | 00:07:54 | platforms your customers they're |
00:07:52 | 00:07:56 | consuming your content it's important to |
00:07:54 | 00:07:59 | push them and get that email address as |
00:07:56 | 00:08:00 | well from them so you're creating that |
00:07:59 | 00:08:02 | real asset for your business this is |
00:08:00 | 00:08:03 | there's a reason that I recommend you |
00:08:02 | 00:08:06 | guys use sales funnels instead of a |
00:08:03 | 00:08:09 | Shopify store right it's for this very |
00:08:06 | 00:08:11 | reason these funnels they automatikally |
00:08:09 | 00:08:13 | immediately when somebody lands on your |
00:08:11 | 00:08:15 | store they collect an email address |
00:08:13 | 00:08:16 | there is no if ands or buts your |
00:08:15 | 00:08:17 | customer doesn't have a choice they have |
00:08:16 | 00:08:20 | to give you the email address or leave |
00:08:17 | 00:08:22 | right building that asset immediately |
00:08:20 | 00:08:24 | right right from the beginning the right |
00:08:22 | 00:08:27 | from the moment that somebody lands on |
00:08:24 | 00:08:28 | your on your store's page so I hope that |
