Those who know me know I’m a “jump right in there” kinda gal.
So, I’m going to get right to the point.
Email marketing is one of the cornerstones of any business’ success.
From day one, even if you only have a few clients or prospects on your list, you must have an active email campaign running in your business.
Yes. I know.
Every day there’s another marketing gadget, gizmo, or social media platform, etc. that promises to be the next big thing.
But there’s one marketing resource and one marketing resource alone that has stood the test of time – email marketing.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge advocate of well-managed social media campaigns. And by well-managed I mean easy-to-manage and affordable.
I’ve worked hard to get over 37K followers on Twitter, 6,800 Likes on Facebook, and almost 4K subscribers to my YouTube channel.
And I’m grateful for every bit of business I get from social media.
But nothing compares to the business I get from my email marketing campaigns.
To date I have over 5k subscribers on my email list. These loyal readers keep me busy, busy, busy with eBay and online marketing training, coaching, and social media management.

The Top 7 Reasons You Must Become or Hire An Email Marketer
1. There are 3x more email accounts than there are Facebook & Twitter accounts combined.
2. At the end of 2014, 73% of marketers stated that email marketing is one of their top business strategies.
3. Emails are 45 times more likely to be seen than than anything you post on Facebook. This is because (unless you pay for advertising) approximately 2% of your Facebook followers actually see your posts. Yes. 2%.
4. Small investments can yield big returns. Email marketing costs pennies (sometimes totally free) to get started.
5. Targeted audience: The current and potential customers you send emails to have signed up to receive them! So, they’ve already shown interest in your products and services.
6. Email drives conversions. The average click-through rate of a Tweet is around 0.5%. The average click-through rate of an email campaign is 3%. Power Selling Mom’s click-through rate averages 8%.
7. Email has an average ROI (return on investment) of 3,800%. Yeah. I almost fell over when I read that for the first time, too. Nonetheless, it’s true.
As you can see, you can’t afford not to have an email marketing strategy and active campaign.
