I sent my first newsletter this morning and it did not go as I had hoped.
I sent the email at 10 AM, and as of the time of writing this, these are the stats:
265 emails sent
10 opens
1 click
So we'll see if that changes with more time, but also this is keeping in mind that these are not people who directly opted in for a newsletter. These are people I've gained contact information from as leads from other sources, networking, etc.
Because of this, I also posted to my social media platforms a quick snippet of the newsletter talking about which area here in the county is hot and selling higher priced homes quicker than the rest of the county. And through all the social platforms, I've been able to get 332 views across YT, TikTok, FB, IG to try and drive people into signing up for my newsletter.
Now this is by no means a viral video. This is the start of the journey. And as I share my journey, I hope you can get better results faster, and that's why we're here sharing our journeys together.
I'll share what doesn't work along with what I find that does work. And although this wasn't a booming success, it was progress.
