APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY
Have you ever thought…
“Should I even bother emailing my database?”
“Will people even read this email or are they just going to auto-delete it with the rest of them?”
“What if people unsubscribe from my database?”
“I’m already posting on social media. What’s the point of emailing?”
Well – put on your slippers, pour a glass of (whatever you feel like sipping on), and get cozy. You’ve officially been invited to join me… in my inbox!
Sorry I didn’t clean up before you came over – it’s a little messy in here. I wish I were the “inbox zero” kinda gal, but in reality my inbox is full of so many gems like…
Book recommendations, articles I’m obsessing over, content ideas (from me, to me), stores reminding me to buy the pair of shoes that I forgot about in my cart last night. Overall – it’s full of really good marketing! (And some junk, too.)
But in today’s episode – we’re sticking to the really good marketing!
I’m addressing your reservations about email marketing (like the four “Negative Nelly” thoughts I mentioned above).
I’m sharing 4 of my favorite emails to receive (listen to the episode to find out WHY):
- Jen at Tonic Site Shop
- Laura Belgray of The Talking Shrimp
- Kaitlyn Parker of Copy Uncorked
- James Clear author of Atomic Habits
And giving you 7 takeaways to infuse into your own email marketing strategy (full breakdown in the episode):
- Name it
- Create a framework
- Keep your delivery consistent
- Infuse your personality
- Loop it back to social media
- Drive it back to your business
- Remember that there are templates available – like the ones we have at Modern Agent Social Club! (EMAIL TEMPLATE FOR YOU TO STEAL – INCLUDED BELOW)
*Take notes on today’s episode so you can implement the magic from these four emailers & my 7 takeaways into your own email strategy!
Why email marketing matters:
Email marketing is so much more than just sending out a spammy newsletter so your name shows up in an inbox *cue the sigh of dread & immediate unsubscribe* We want to email our databases in a way that makes people excited for more.
Email marketing is not something you do for 2-3 weeks and then stop. It’s something you’ll do as long as you have your business.
And because dissecting really good emails (and marketing) and telling other people about it is one of my favorite pastimes (;

Here’s why I stopped DIY forever

EMAIL FRAMEWORK:
Hi “insert name”!
PHOTO IDEA: Share a photo of your DIY project gone wrong, or if you don’t have one, a picture of you doing what you do best (real estate!)
(Share a story about a DIY project gone wrong for you or steal mine)
A few years ago I wanted to surprise my husband and hang up his new tv on the wall. I purchased the tv mount and when he was gone one night, I grabbed our drill, skimmed the directions, and got to work.
I was a little intimidated, I won’t lie, but it didn’t take long and before I knew it, the tv was up and I sat on the couch, eager to test it out.
As soon as I went to change the channel, I heard a creak. And within seconds, that tv (and the mount) had crashed onto the floor.
That was the day I quit.
I quit trying to DIY everything. Yes, I’ll still hang up lightweight artwork, but anything heavier than 10 pounds I’m leaving to the professionals.
My time and money (and dignity) are better spent hiring a pro and staying in my zone of genius (selling houses and picking out paint colors).
When it comes to your biggest investment (your home), don’t DIY your way through the transaction. Hire a professional you trust (who sends you great emails like this! 😉 ) to do what they do best.
