Common Email Marketing Mistakes

What kills your results:

2. Sending too often - Subscriber fatigue leads to unsubscribes

3. Being too salesy - 80/20 rule (80% value, 20% sales)

4. Ignoring mobile - 60% open on mobile, design must be responsive

5. No segmentation - Sending same message to everyone wastes opportunity

6. Weak subject lines - 35% open based on subject line alone

7. No clear CTA - Tell people exactly what to do next

The Email Marketing Mindset

Think like a subscriber:

• Does it solve a problem or provide value?
• Is it relevant to what they signed up for?
• Would you forward this to a friend?

Focus on relationships, not transactions:

• Email is permission-based marketing
• Trust takes time to build, seconds to destroy
• Help first, sell second
• Your subscribers are real people, not numbers
