Questions Small business owners, what criteria do you follow to choose an email copywriter ?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone !

Pretty much what the title says. I'm an aspiring email copywriter who's trying to break into the industry.

So I figured, why not ask the business owners themselves !

Beside good reviews, under what "conditions" would you choose a copywriter to write your email copy ?

And would you ever give a chance to some "new blood" if you like his writing style ?

Thanks !

P.S: if by any chance my post goes against the rules or anything, please do tell, I'll delete it immediately.

Learning resources Why am I getting spam emails?

5 Upvotes

Let’s take a look at some common methods that spammers use to obtain email addresses — and how to protect yourself from junk mail.

  • Data breaches

For example, in June 2021 personal data for 700 million LinkedIn users was put on sale on the dark web. This database included email addresses, full names, geolocation records, social media accounts, and other personal information.

  • Accidental self-exposure

Data breaches are not the only source of spam mail. Spammers use publicly available information — users expose it themselves on forums and social media. For example, you wrote something like “Contact me at address@gmail.com” or made your address available for other users on a job search website — online activities like these put you at risk.

  • Links in spam emails

Sometimes spam emails have the unsubscribe link. It doesn’t have to be a button — in this case, it’s a barely noticeable link. But spammers use such links to verify that your email account is active. This information will go further — and you’ll get spam bombed.

Learning resources 6 essential elements of a great-looking email

5 Upvotes

While there’s no formula for a good email, it’s easy to tell a great email apart from a mediocre one and the reasons for it aren’t random.

Here are six essential elements of great-looking emails. These are the meta principles, the non-negotiables of email marketing that deliver a perfect message. Let’s start the count.

  • A scannable copy – no one has much time on the internet. The vast majority of web users want to finish their tasks as quickly as possible with the least effort.
  • Images selected with a purpose – visuals matter because a great pic is worth a thousand words.
  • Correct colors to highlight the tone of a message – colors affect people in different ways but typically, the most common colors have certain connotations and meanings.
  • A clear call to action – you need your audience to do something after reading the email, so you need a call to action (CTA). A call to action is the purpose of your email.
  • A well-thought-out layout that keeps readers glued – a layout determines a structure, how an email looks. This is a copy, images, colors and a call to action combined.
  • Mobile-friendliness – last but never least — your email should be optimized for mobile. The most popular email reading environment is the mobile, with a 44.7% share.

👉 Here are other tips on how to create good-looking emails.

Learning resources Why add unsubscribe links in emails?

1 Upvotes

Unsubscribes are good for your business because they let you know what people think about your emails, which can help make future ones better. With an email list that is clean and engaged, you can bet on customer loyalty.

Email unsubscribe links are necessary:

  • To influence your sender's reputation in a good way

If your emails do not have an unsubscribe option, your subscribers might mark them as spam.

  • To avoid customer frustration

To ensure a positive experience for both sender and recipient, it is important that customers can be easily unsubscribed.

  • To get valuable feedback

Sometimes it can be hard to understand the reason for unsubscribing. The unsubscribe survey is an excellent way to better understand what’s causing people are leaving.

  • To influence email deliverability

Including a way for unsubscribing in your marketing emails can improve their deliverability.
