The death of email marketing campaigns

Published: Mon, 09/28/20

Well, at least for Yours Crotchety they are dead.

And, even if I have described them as such, they have been dead a long time for me.

To explain in a bit more (admittedly cryptic) detail, below is a quote from the upcoming October “Email Players” issue you have but a little more time to subscribe in time to get.

Here it is:

No More “Marketing” Campaigns

First things’s last — henceforth, think ye not of your affiliate promotions, product launches, funnels, or other marketing endeavors as mere “marketing” campaigns.

If you think bigger than that, you will almost not be able to help automatically making bigger profits & building a bigger business. Thus, think of them as World-Building campaigns, instead.

If you found the above dorky, or not seksy enough, or if it went over your head, probably not a good idea to subscribe in time to get the October issue. It’s simply one “cog” of many other similar types of “cogs” in the machine that makes up that issue — as well as how I have long-approached my own marketing campaigns.

All right enough.
