TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

• [00:27] Today’s Topic: Email Marketing Is Dying (and Here’s What You Should Do Next)
• [00:34] Everyone thinks no one uses email anymore, which is a false assumption, especially if you work in the corporate world.
• [00:55] Although email marketing is dying, that is only for the younger demographics.
• [01:15] Email isn’t as effective as it used to be, but as long as you leverage all the other channels, you can still do well.
• [01:40] Combine emails, push notifications, and chat bots; you will get back some of the traffic you lost through email marketing.
• [02:00] Neil spoke to someone who works in Dubai and he still makes all his money through email marketing to an older audience.
• [02:21] Eric loves to use Subscribers.com, Many Chat, and text messaging to market to a younger audience.
• [02:58] Sly Broadcast is a great tool that Eric loves.
• [03:18] This tool will allow you to drop a voicemail into someone’s inbox without having the phone ring.
• [03:40] Cut the fat on the tools, though. Too many tools spreads your focus too thin.
• [04:25] Neil’s team uses fewer than 10 tools internally.
• [04:32] They use Skype, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, AHREFS, SEMRush, Subscribers, Hello Bar, Hubspot, and possibly one or two more at the most.
• [05:00] Don’t go beyond ten tools, because it is overwhelming.
• [05:15] If you want to do well and remain actionable, using too many tools will prevent that.
• [05:30] That’s it for today!
