Pop quiz for business owners: What is the number one tool that can guarantee consistent revenue for your business? Here’s a hint: it’s not your social media accounts. Despite many believing their leads come from platforms like Instagram and TikTok, the reality is these platforms’ algorithms can change overnight, drastically reducing your reach and, consequently, your leads.
The answer lies in your email list. Owning your email list means you have a direct line to your audience, unaffected by algorithm changes. In this blog post, we’ll dive into email marketing strategies to grow your list and convert leads into paying clients.
Why Email Marketing?
Email marketing is essential because it’s a reliable way to nurture leads through the customer journey, turning them into raving fans. Think of your email marketing strategy as the bumpers in a bowling alley, ensuring your leads don’t fall into the gutter. The goal is to guide your lead (the bowling ball) to hit the pins (becoming a raving fan).
The Customer Journey
In his book Conquer the Chaos, Clate Mask , co-founder of Keap , explains the customer journey. The aim of email marketing is to guide your leads from initial contact to becoming raving fans who provide testimonials and refer other clients.
Key Statistics
? Only 3% of your audience will buy on the first contact.
? 81% of sales are made after the fifth contact.
These numbers highlight the importance of consistent follow-up, making email marketing a critical tool for success.
Steps to Effective Email Marketing

1. Identify Customer Pain Points
List every problem your customer faces. Alex Hormozi’s book $100M Offers suggests starting here to understand what you should offer your audience. For example, my customers struggle with generating leads from YouTube despite knowing its potential. This pain point informs the lead magnet I offer.
2. Create a Valuable Offer
Your offer should solve a specific problem for your audience. This lead magnet could be a video, an ebook, or a masterclass. For instance, I offer a YouTube masterclass to help business owners generate leads from YouTube. The offer must be compelling enough to exchange for their email address.
3. Build a Fast Track and a Slow Track
? Fast Track: Immediately after they download your lead magnet, offer them a low-ticket product or a strategy call on the thank you page.
? Slow Track: For those who don’t buy right away, nurture them with a series of follow-up emails. Consistent newsletters can gradually convert these leads over time.
Automation
Using a CRM like Keap, you can automate the entire process. From delivering the lead magnet to sending follow-up emails, everything can be automated, ensuring no lead is left untouched. This means you can nurture your audience even while you sleep.
Recap
1. List every problem your future client has.
2. Create a lead magnet that solves one of these problems.
3. Build a fast track for immediate buyers and a slow track for those who need more nurturing.
Email marketing is the most powerful tool in your business arsenal. It ensures consistent revenue and allows you to build a loyal customer base. Start implementing these strategies today to see your business grow.
