294. Is My List Burnt Out? How to Know

Author: Salome Schillack July 31, 2025 Duration: 54:26

Your email list feels like crickets central and you're wondering if it's time to throw in the towel? 🚀

I've been there - staring at dismal open rates after launches that felt like shouting into the void. But here's what most online course creators don't realize: that "dead" list might just be cold, confused, or simply disconnected from the real you. After helping hundreds of course creators diagnose their email marketing challenges, I've discovered there's usually a huge difference between a truly burnt-out list and one that's just waiting for the right spark.

In this episode, I'm sharing the exact diagnostic process I use with my coaching clients to determine if your email list is actually dead or just needs some strategic CPR. You'll discover the real numbers that indicate a burnt-out list (spoiler: 40% open rates are actually fantastic), plus the step-by-step revival strategy that brought my own "dead" list back to life using proven Facebook ads and organic marketing techniques.

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Decode the real numbers that indicate a truly burnt-out list versus industry-normal engagement

  • Discover the 5 hidden reasons your engaged subscribers might be going silent

  • Master the diagnostic checklist to pinpoint exactly what's killing your email engagement

  • Implement proven re-engagement strategies that revive cold lists fast
