What Follow-Up Emails Plugin Is Supposed To Do

This premium plugin from Woocommerce is supposed to enable you to define and create your own customized emails that will be automatically delivered to your customer’s email inbox, at defined intervals, after they complete a specific action such as finishing a quiz, making a purchase, or signing up for an account etc.

Using Mandrill For Better Control Of WordPress Email Delivery

Kumar Gauraw

Most of us do not even think about sending emails through our WordPress powered website. We have WordPress handling this task by default using PHP mail functionality which works! Well, in most cases.

However, I had challenges in the past when I didn’t even know that some of the emails my website sent, ended straight into the receiver’s SPAM folders. Thanks to some of my friends from the blogosphere who told me about this issue.

Why I Switched From Aweber To GetResponse For My Email Marketing

Kumar Gauraw

Just because Aweber is popular, it is not necessarily the best email marketing service out there. After being a loyal customer for over 3 years, I finally decided to change my service provider.
Email Marketing Service - Switched From Aweber To GetResponse - Reasons For The Switch Explained
The reason I signed up with Aweber is not that I knew a lot about email marketing. It wasn’t because I knew a whole lot about different companies either. I chose Aweber for my email marketing needs because it was the service so many online marketers were using and recommending.

People told me that Aweber was the “gold standard” in email marketing. And it worked. I was impressed and convinced!

What You Should Know About Email Open Rates

Kumar Gauraw

The success of your email marketing depends on how many people open your email. Obviously there is no point in sending emails to those who don’t even open your emails, right?
Email Open Rates - How Accurate Are These Calculations
Email open rates seem to be an important metric for many internet marketers. In fact, I have been very diligently following email open rates for a long time.

But, it changed after my friend and a fellow entrepreneur, Adrian Jock helped me understand this correctly.

How To Avoid Paying For Subscribers Who Unsubscribe Your Mailing List

Kumar Gauraw

If you are using an Autoresponder service like Aweber or GetResponse, are you making sure you keep your mailing list clean? I ask because, sometimes, not cleaning your list may cost you money.

Those who know me personally, know that I don’t pay much attention to fine prints. I don’t like to do house cleaning activities very often either.

Just by fluke I happened to see consistent emails from Aweber (which I store in a separate folder in my Gmail account) month after month this year so far saying they were able to charge my credit card successfully.

Essential Tools, Resources And Services From My Toolbox

Kumar Gauraw

We all need some tools and services to organize and manage things in our lives. I get questions about some of the resources I use and so, I decided that I should probably share this list with you.

A list like this is never static and I know I will update this list many times as I live my life and experience more changes.

But, I am eager to document here some of the important tools, products and services I use in my personal and professional life. This list is not just for your reference, but my own reference document for future as well.

I intend to share the entries in the list in the order of their importance within their category from my perspective. The idea is to give you an idea of importance although it’s not a rule to follow.

Why You Should Celebrate When People Unsubscribe From Your List

Kumar Gauraw

Anything we do, we need to have some balance. When we get out of balance, that is when things start to get out of control. The same applies to social media marketing and list building as well.

When I started my first blog back in 2009, I didn’t know anything about list building and why it was important. But I heard about it everywhere. It seemed like such a sexy thing to have and some of those who had a huge list were winning everywhere.

Well, I quickly learned about list building and because it was so cool thing to have, I placed my subscriber forms and started to collect email addresses as I continued blogging. I followed the leaders and sure enough, my list began to grow slowly.

Choosing An Autoresponder For List Building And Email Marketing

Kumar Gauraw

List building and Email Marketing may not be something that a new website owner plans for initially when starting out. While setting up our new website or blog, most of us start out to build our brand identity online.

However, as we start to mature and begin to get confidence, we begin to commit a little bit more, and then a bit more.

A time comes when we begin to ask ourselves, “Can I also make money while I continue to do what I am doing online?” If you've had this question on your mind, what you are thinking really is – how to build an online business with your website.
