Emails

Drafting

• Login to keap.com and click Email & Broadcasts > Send a Broadcast.

• Click in the recipients field and select
  ‘001. RMRS -> 001-Broadcast-All-Finished’
• Enter an attention-grabbing subject line
• Add preview text – a ‘sneak peek’ to hook readers further
• Use TestSubject to check how they look on mobile
• Go to ‘Merge’ on the blue bar > Contact Fields (most common) > First Name
• It should now say ~Contact.FirstName~. Add a comma after.
• Write or paste in your email
• If sponsored, include a sponsor link with some variant of ‘Click here to check out x’ near the beginning, and the FINAL, SHORT video link in the P.S. (Just put text if you don’t have links yet.)
• If sponsored, include any discount code.
• If non-sponsored, put the FINAL, SHORT video link in the text and either the article link or the personal touch in the P.S. Or ask for an email reply.
• “Always sign off ‘Semper Fi, Antonio’
  (or ‘Semper Fi, Antonio ‘[something funny]’ Centeno’)”
• If you’ve pasted anything in, check the text colour is #343434
• Draft will save automatically.
• (If both email and bot copy are drafted) Check off in IK, notify Gavin and Steven

Scheduling

• Add any missing links.
• Make sure links have no spaces at the end.
• Tag links.
• Send a test email to yourself, Gavin, and Steven and check all links work in the email.
• Click ‘Review and Send’ > ‘Schedule for later’ and select date (double check IK.)
• Select the publication time IN CENTRAL TIME as 07:00.
• Click ‘Schedule’. It will take a few minutes to show up as scheduled.
• (If email, bot, and push notification are all scheduled) Check off in IK, notify Gavin and Steven
• No amends after Steven checks it unless absolutely necessary.
• Had to change something? Notify him to check again!

Email Split Testing

There are two different methods you can use to create a split test.

Both start as if you’re drafting a normal email:

• Go to Email & Broadcasts > Send a Broadcast.
• Click the ‘Get Started’ button and go to Actions > Create

Don’t worry – this takes a long time to explain, but it’s really quick to do!

• Here’s the stats spreadsheet (we only care about the tab ‘Broadcasts from INFUSIONSOFT’ – everything else is old info and no longer updated).
• Check broadcast stats at 7am CST on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (24 hours after each video goes live). Set an alarm to remind yourself!
• Check subscriber stats at 7am CST on Mondays, right after broadcast stats.

Checking Broadcast Stats

• Add a row at the top of the spreadsheet and put YESTERDAY’S day and date in the first column.
• Login to keap.com.
• Go to Email & Broadcasts > View Email Broadcasts and click Search.
• Find the email that was sent 24 hours ago and click View.
• Put the email subject line in the Subject column on the spreadsheet.

Fill in the blue ‘Email’ section.

• Right under ‘Broadcast stats’ you’ll see ‘Total delivered’. Put that number in the ‘Total Sent’ column.
• On the next line down, look to the right and you’ll see the open rate (it’s a percentage). Put that in the ‘Open Rate’ column.
• Look another line down and you’ll see the click rate (also a percentage). Put that in the ‘Click Rate’ column.
• If yesterday’s video had no sponsor or article: look to the left and you’ll see ‘Clicks: Unique’. Put that number in the ‘Clicks To Video’ column.
• Otherwise: Mouse over the green logo at the top left and you’ll see a drop-down menu.
• Under ‘CRM’ click ‘Settings’.
• On the left, click ‘Tags’.
• Scroll down till you see the tags for yesterday’s email. They’ll be ‘[date]-Video’ and either ‘[date]-Sponsor’ for a sponsored email or ‘[date]-Article’ for an unsponsored one.
• Click ‘Show Number’ beside each one.
• Put those numbers in the ‘Clicks To Sponsor’, ‘Clicks To Video’, and/or ‘Clicks To Article’ columns.
• If your email took an unusually long time to deliver, the numbers will be lower than usual. Put ‘AR 25‘ in red in the ‘Weekly Net Subs’ column so we know why.

Fill in the green ‘Facebook Bot’ section.

• Login to Manychat.
• Click on ‘Broadcasting’ on the left.
• Scroll down to ‘History’ and find the chatbot that was sent yesterday. (Ignore the ones that say ‘YouTube Post’.)
• Under ‘Sent’ you’ll see a number. Put that in the ‘Total Sent’ column.
• Under ‘Read(%)’ you’ll see a number with a percentage in brackets.
