The Counterintuitive Email Strategy That Boosts Engagement, Deliverability, and Sales

Ready to discover why deleting inactive subscribers might be the best decision you make for your online course business this year? 🚀

When I first built my email list to 10,000 subscribers, I was incredibly proud of that number. I had invested countless hours and dollars into lead magnets, ads, and content creation to grow my list. The thought of intentionally removing anyone felt like throwing all that hard work away.

But then my open rates plummeted below 10%. My launches plateaued. And despite continuing to grow my list, my results kept declining. When I finally made the tough decision to clean my list and remove 40% of subscribers who hadn't engaged in over 90 days, everything changed. My open rates soared, deliverability improved, and my business started thriving again.

“A smaller, more engaged list will always bring in more money than a larger disinterested one.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why chasing list size is a vanity metric trap that could be costing you thousands
  • Learn how inactive subscribers damage your email deliverability and sender reputation
  • Implement a simple 3-phase system to clean your list while preserving valuable contacts
  • Create an automated system that maintains list health without manual intervention
  • Shift your mindset from quantity to quality to boost conversion rates and revenue

Grab your favorite beverage and join me for this eye-opening episode that might just save your email marketing strategy! ☕️
