Welcome to Vol. 50 of Email Advice in Your Inbox!
This is a massive one for us. We’re so happy you’re here!
Today, we’re celebrating the big ‘Five-O’. A journey spanning 50 Volumes of this newsletter shared with our community.
It’s been quite a journey, but we’re just getting started.
Today’s email is an exciting one with some insanely exciting enhancements we’ve made just for you!
This email will also start looking a little…different. We’re making a few changes to sharpen things up and enhance your experience.
Ready to join us for the next 50?
We hope you are, because we’ve got one eye on the target and two bricks on the throttle, so let’s get into it!
What have we found to expand your email knowledge today?
Here are a few of our favourite links from across the email world, carefully curated just for you:
We’re also constantly on the lookout for new resources, news, tools and links, so hit us up if you’ve got something valuable to feature!
A little look back, and a big step forward
It’s hard to believe this all started with a single email, a simple nudge to help folks send better emails, and a passion to build something meaningful in the inbox.
Since Volume 1, we’ve tackled everything from re-sends and segmentation mistakes to email design and Easter eggs. Along the way, we’ve built a growing, global community of email senders, just like you, winning at email.
Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just joined us recently, thank you.
You’re part of something we’re really proud of.
Enhancing your experience
To mark this milestone, we’re making a few subtle (but sharp) tweaks to your reading experience. Here’s what you’ll start seeing from today:
A (hopefully) cleaner layout for quicker scanning (because we know you’re skimming)
Neater, more practical categories and fewer distractions.
A few more rotating features and sections to keep things fresh.
What else is coming? We’re so happy you asked…because we’ve got some neat stuff lined up:
More community member features, broader topics to help you grow, and insights into where email and the digital space are going.
An occasional “Email Audit” where we break down real campaigns (yours?)
Exclusive new resources focused on email experience hacks, using AI in your email strategy and growth tools curated for our community.
But we’re not done.
We’ve launched a new home for our community!
We’ve been quietly taking advantage of Beehiiv’s neat new website builder, and we’ve put together some really cool stuff with you in mind!
And, to help you win, this is packed full of resources we’ll be updating regularly, like:
Our updated Ultimate List of Newsletters
Access to an evergreen (and growing) list of the best newsletters about email, digital marketing, content creation, business ops and AI, exclusive to our community, here.
We’re adding newsletters, we’re carefully vetting for quality and value, and we will be updating this weekly, so bookmark the heck outta it now!
Additional tools, resources and knowledge
We’ve also added sections dedicated to resources, email growth and our knowledge bank to help you win at email as part of our tribe.
A few insanely exciting things to come
And where would we leave today’s email without leaving you in anticipation, huh?
We’re soon launching some tools and categories on the site that you’ll want to look out for, like:
A new platform dedicated to cross-promotion and email sponsorship for newsletters of all kinds. You can join the waitlist here if you’re looking to cross-promote or attract sponsors to grow.
Our referral programme that bypasses swag and gives you real value through dedicated shout-outs and features to bring eyes to your work.
Sponsorship and collaboration opportunities for tools, brands and newsletters. You can take a look at what we’re offering to help promote your brand, tools or newsletter here.
Thank you, Friends
This newsletter has always been a conversation, not a monologue. Your replies, your feedback, your encouragement…it’s what makes this worth doing.
Here’s to 50 volumes down, and many more inbox adventures to come.
Let’s keep growing, learning, and hitting send. Together.
Resources from friends and sponsors of our community
Our friend Dana created a handy guide to getting a boss who "doesn't get marketing" to approve your ideas. In 3 steps, get the marketing team and C-suite on the same page so everyone feels confident in the marketing plan.
We thought you might like it, so hit the link below to grab the guide.
(PS: I’m not sure how long Dana is going to have this available. Grab it now before it goes away).
Outrank Your Competitors on Amazon—Fast!
Stack Influence automates micro-influencer collaborations to significantly boost external traffic and organic rankings on Amazon. Trusted by top brands like Magic Spoon and Unilever, it's your secret to dominating page one.
It’s too late in the year to be sending bland email greetings.
Why not try something more creative (or unhinged, for that matter)?
This week’s lighthearted gem was shared by the folks at GURU Media Hub on LinkedIn, and, hey, it beats the banal “kind regards” you see in the inbox 🥱
(PS: We may have some exciting news about the GURU conference coming up later this year - Stick with us to find out more soon*)
To the next 50 and beyond!
