Email marketing has gone through lots of different phases – one moment it was the cool new kid on the block and before we knew it, we had to endure an onslaught of ‘is email marketing dead?’ articles. Remember them?

Well thankfully, everyone’s come to their senses again and we can agree that email marketing campaigns should still play a massive part in your digital strategy, simply because they get results. Campaign Monitor’s data shows that across the campaigns they analysed, emails generated 4400% ROI and $44 for every $1 spent.

The tough part is grabbing your reader’s attention. Quick! With 53% of emails being opened on mobile devices, your emails need to be compelling, snappy and intelligently designed. With more functionality than ever before, the need for good copywriting best practices shouldn’t be overlooked.

So, let’s take a look at how you can launch an email campaign with content principles in place that can maximize their...

September is Productivity month

Weathering something is an admirable human trait. By definition, “weathering” means “to bear up against and come safely through”, and it’s something we’ve seen a lot of in the literal sense this week.

But in business, it takes grit and strategy to weather the ups and downs of finding the work, selling our services, and delivering on what we promised with style and delight. Anything we can do to reclaim hours in our day, is not only welcomed, but necessary.

This is why we’re so excited to feature Charlie Gilkey, CEO and founder of ProductiveFlourishing.com as our first MasterClass for September’s Productivity month. Join us on Tuesday, September 12 at 1:00 pm PST as he shows us how to move from “Idea to Done”, and find those precious hours each week to focus on working on our business, instead of in our business. This is 90 minutes that could return many, many more back to your life! We...

Find a niche that you’re passionate about and...

With over 2 million blogs published a day, half a billion tweets, 300 billion emails, and 2 billion Google searches we are all becoming a human firewall.

As humans, we receive a massive amount of information every day. We hear and read so much content we don’t know what to trust. In a sense, we have turned into human firewalls pushing away content and information. What truly allows us to trust the information we receive and let it in?

In 2012 McDonald’s Canada found that their food quality perception scores were at the bottom of other leading fast food chains. Their target customers were three times less likely to eat there because of it. They launched a campaign called “Our food. Your Questions.” With over 13 million video views, 132 media impressions, 2.3 billion social impressions and 18,462 questions answered (and counting) they raised their food quality perception scores up to 76 percent and built trust by 46 percent.

Here are five areas on how we can...
