5 (Quick) Tips for Higher Email Open Rates


- Hey, it's Pat Flynn here,
here to help you make more money,
save more time, and help more people, too.
And today, we're talking emails,
an integral part of your online business,
but it wouldn't mean anything
if nobody was opening those emails.
So, here are those five tips for you
in no particular order.
Tip number one, resend your emails
that you send out to people who don't open them.
After a few days, it's totally okay to use
whatever email service provider you have
to send to those people who didn't open.
Everybody has busy lives, we don't often see
every single email that comes across our inbox.
It's okay to do this,
and I remember initially hearing this tip,
and I was like, "Ah, I'm scared of sending
"the same email to somebody else,"
but most email service providers,
like ConvertKit, are now sophisticated enough
to understand whether or not a person
has opened that email.
And a quick tip for you, just in case,
I often change the subject line
and maybe a little bit in the intro of that email,
just in case.
But, you will get higher email open rates, guaranteed.
So, if you were to leave this video early,
just take this one tip,
it will guarantee higher open rates for you.
Tip number two, make sure the subject line
is something that is relevant and worth opening.
Obviously, your subject line is
the first thing people see when they receive your email,
and all that great content that you have inside,
well, it doesn't matter if nobody opens.
So, make sure that subject line is worth opening.
You can do that in a few different ways.
Number one, making sure that it's actually relevant
to what it is that they might need help with.
Number two, perhaps even sharing a little bit
of what's inside, and number three,
making it short enough for a person to understand.
I think this is where a lot of people get it wrong.
Email subject lines aren't very long,
in terms of, it can get truncated,
especially on a mobile device.
So, keeping it short and concise
can encourage a person to open
it up amongst all the other emails
that they might be getting, too.
Now, quick side not about these subject lines,
you could be inclined to write
something a little bit exaggerated or outrageous
so that you can get a person to open it.
The most important thing is that you deliver
on the promise or actually follow through
with what the subject line says.
Don't use clickbait.
Clickbait turns into click hate,
and we definitely don't want that to happen.
Number three, subscribe to your own email list
so that you can see how that email is received
and can make improvements over time.
A lot of times, you don't even know
how your email is read until you actually see it
in person amongst all the other emails
that you might be getting at the same time.
Does that subject line stand out,
is it actually something that I would click on
if I saw it in my inbox?
You can actually see for yourself
when you make that happen.
Now, another thing you could do
is send yourself a test email
before you send out the broadcast
so that you can actually see it
in your inbox in the context
of how a person might actually receive
that note from you.
Another great thing about sending a test email to yourself
is that you can double-check all the links,
you can read it out loud to make sure
it's grammatically correct and all that good stuff.
By doing this, you're going to improve
the quality of your emails, of course,
and thus encourage more people to open them
when they receive them over time.
Next, number four,
considering the time of the day
where you schedule your emails to go out.
Whether they're auto-responder emails
or especially broadcast emails,
the time of the day you send them
can help encourage people to open them,
because if you were to send them at,
for example, 2 a.m. in the morning,
a number of emails might come in between then
and when that person wakes up,
where it might get lost in the mix.
Typically, when I run promo emails
or do really important broadcast emails,
I send them and schedule them
for about 7 a.m. in the morning, Pacific Time.
That way, I kinda get the west coast
of the United States when everybody's waking up.
When they first check their emails,
not too many other emails may come out
before they wake up and see that.
And also, I get the people right before
they go to lunch on the east coast,
so I'm able to get people in the morning
when they are more likely to open those emails.
And of course, make sure you test on your own
and you can change things over time
to see what works best for you.
7 a.m. in the morning typically works best
on the promotions that we do through our email list.
Now obviously, you might send out emails later
in the day for specific reasons.
For example, "Hey, there's only a few hours left
"for this promotion," or perhaps,
something that's time-based that you don't wanna wait
until the next day to send out,
so you would send it the evening before.
Again, it's up to you,
but just pay attention to the time
that you send the emails because that does matter.
Alright, and then finally,
just write better emails.
When you write better emails
and there's more value in there,
you share some wins, people are actually getting
some good advice from you,
people are gonna be more likely
to open the future emails that you send out.
One thing that I love to do
is encourage people, and hopefully you can do this too,
is one of the first emails that people get
after they subscribe to your list,
have it be something that includes a small,
quick win, something that they didn't have before
that they can now do in a short time period
to get a reward from you.
That way, they're gonna be more encouraged
to open your future emails.
You're essentially training your audience
to wanna continue to open those emails
in the future that come their way.
So, whether it's a value email
or perhaps a promotional one,
they're gonna be more likely to open it
because you've proven that,
"Hey, these are actually worth opening."
So, there you go, five tips to help you
increase your email open rates.
I'm gonna give you a sixth one, actually,
before you go, and again, thank you,
make sure you subscribe to the channel
if you haven't already,
and leave a comment below for which one
of these that you haven't done,
but you're going to implement,
and it may be the sixth tip here.
And that is to encourage people
to reply back to you.
This is especially helpful for you
if you're a brand new business
and you're just starting out
because you actually have the time
to read each of these emails,
but you also have the time to reply.
And this is gonna be something
that blows people's minds because
they're not gonna be expecting that,
and so, this is a quick way to start
to build some fans, to start communicating
with your audience, it enables you
to understand better what their problems
and pains are so you can help them out,
and it just has them realize
that you are a real person on the other end
of this internet where most people hide
behind their keyboard.
Well, you're there, encouraging them
to communicate with you,
which definitely says a lot about you
and why you're doing what you're doing.
So, good luck to you.
Let me know below what tip of these six tips
is your favorite and which one you're gonna implement,
and again, make sure you subscribe to the channel
if you haven't already.
Thanks so much, and best of luck.
