#189 Email Marketing: How to 3x Your Client's Email Open Rates with Sage Polaris

Author: Emily Reagan | Digital Marketing Mentor, Speaker January 9, 2024 Duration: 53:14

Become a well-paid email marketing specialist.

Are you a Bart, Marge, Homer, or Lisa? And what the heck do The Simpsons have to do with email marketing & open rates?

Email is related to everything we do in this online business world.

The goal is always to collect our audience’s email so we can market to them. It’s just part of it that we have to know to step up and be a premium service provider.

I invited my guest, Sage Polaris, to talk about email open rates and help us improve our clients. She’s a copywriter and launch strategist who has written high-converting copy for 475+ clients earning them millions of dollars.

She helps personal brands and service providers sell more with the words on their websites. She’s worked with Chalene Johnson, Chrisette Michele, Rick Mulready, and Lynne Twist. Basically, she makes money for the “internet famous” people we all watch on Instagram. 

Sage also has a membership called the Color Coded Copy Launch Booster and you can try out her new beta copy course for free!

Listen in to learn more about

  • How Sage uses DISC-based color profiles to write copy that sells
  • The 4 friends to invite to every launch and what to say to get them to buy
  • Who actually reads long-form sales pages and when it's okay to skip 'em
  • How to triple your email open rates (even if you have ghosted your list!)

Sometimes email might not be a service you offer, but it's closely related to what you're doing. If you're doing blogging, content marketing, launching, memberships and retention, tune in because Sage dives into why you need to be focused on email.
