Perfect for the Content Marketing Approach
This is a great tool for content marketers. I probably would have passed on this deal had it not been for this video: https://youtu.be/P0wuJAJkALk
I've been testing various email marketing solutions for the past 18-years. They all seem to have their pros and cons. That said, the hardest thing about email marketing is (#1) getting started. And then, (#2) being consistent after you've finally started.
There are a bunch of issues most people face. For example, what should the landing page look like? Or, what should I say in my "welcome" sequence? Those two questions alone can result in months of thinking and planning.
While all that's happening, as a content creator, you could be blogging, making videos, podcasts, etc. The problem is, nothing is really tied together. All your best content is in your post, video, podcast, etc. Do you basically say the same thing in your outgoing emails as you're saying in your other content?
SendFox is a great fit to tie finally tie all your loose ends together. It gives you a simple landing page void of distractions. Simple always converts better, there's no getting away from it. It also provides you with your initial "welcome" sequence emails. Between those two things, you can now do in a single sitting what might otherwise take months to finish with the "staring at the blank screen" approach.
If you already have a WordPress site and content, you can connect the RSS feed (usually www.yourdomain.com/feed) and you can pull in your content without any problems. The formatting is clean and looks great, too. You're basically building out a newsletter which in turn becomes part of your content marketing blueprint.
Again, if you have a WordPress site already, you can create a page for new subscribers (www.yourdomain.com/subscribe) and then use a plugin like Pretty Links (the free version) to forward people to your SendFox landing page.
I know... it's easy to have a thousand questions like, "What about this or that?" There are a lot of different scenarios that can pass through your mind when it comes to email marketing. The point is, getting started can be deceivingly difficult. It all looks simple on paper... and then you start to set things up and that's when the problems start.
With SendFox, you really can get off to a great start quickly! Again, check out the video link above and follow along. You can always go back and tweak things later (maybe add your logo, etc.). Personally, I like this approach to building a list better. I'd rather send links to my best content and build my list that way instead of trying to create an ebook, mini-course or another type of "download." That can take months to create (and then you cross your fingers and hope people like it).
It's easier to link to your best content that's already out there (and proven) and start connecting with people that way. At least, that's how I see it now after years of testing different methods. Anyway, I hope this helps!
