Chase Dimond | Email Marketing Nerd 📧 @ecomchasedimond

Weird Email Marketing Tip:

Increase the font size of your emails.

The bigger your font is.

The easier it is to read.

The more people will read your emails.

The more clicks your CTA's will get.

How big?

Anywhere from 16px to 20px.

You really shouldn’t be afraid to promote your work. If you’re proud of it. If you think it’s good. If you think your audience would find value in it...

Promote it.

People think great copy is snarky, sassy, or clever.

No, great copy converts. If it doesn't, it's not great copy.

You can have what feels like great writing and it's still not great copy. The desired action is what matters, period.

Did you ever keynote a conference and they said you weren't live yet and so to entertain yourself you pretend to tell the audience a lame joke and then it turns out you are live and that's the start of your talk? Just me?

Due to extraordinary circumstances, I ended up having 4 calls spread through the day yesterday and OMG what a useless day it was in terms of actual productivity. Great reminder that my decision to never have +2 calls per day and have them at the start or end of day, is the best.

All those years, all those Googlers, devs, & SEOs defending AMP... And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I just wish journalist @dannysullivan (before Google bought him off) was here to excoriate them for these disgusting actions.

Ideally solo founders would better work on 3 different projects in parallel for 1-2 years to maximize their chances of success.

Never write copy from scratch.

For structure, start with a proven framework.
For challenges/benefits, start by looking at competitors.
For phrasing, pull directly from customer feedback (no customers yet? use something like @copy_ai).

The more you pull from, the better.

Eddie Shleyner @VeryGoodCopy

#copywriting is more about ideas than writing.

so sometimes, an ad doesn’t need words to be effective.

sometimes, as David Abbott puts it, the best copy is no copy at all:

Corey Haines 💡 @coreyhainesco

SaaS companies should treat their…

marketing team like a media company

customer support team like a services company

product team like an R&D lab

operations team like a private equity company

leadership team like a think tank
