A couple of days ago, Travis Ketchum, CEO of Campaign Refinery and Contest Domination, Chris Bruno, CEO of SocialINK, and myself, decided to run an open Zoom Collaboration Call to help businesses and entrepreneurs with their marketing during these difficult times. The idea was to try to help as many people as we could during this COVID situation. We are all experiencing the same things and it's hard to figure out what to do next when no one knows what's coming next. While we did EVENTUALLY manage to have a great conversation and share some solid ideas on what we can all be doing right now, unfortunately it got off to a bit of a rocky start... Basically we experienced first hand what #ZoomBombing was the hard way. We also learned a valuable lesson… Don't put an open link to a Zoom call out into the world! We didn't want to ask people to register as didn't want to put anyone off thinking it was some kind of “data gathering” exercise. But unfortunately a few people who have clearly been stuck inside for too long showed up and thought it would be hilarious to start throwing insults, profanities and showing screens of lewd acts…! There's a few villages missing more than one idiot by the look of things! You can read what Chris wrote about this by reading the blog post he wrote about it here But as everything that is going on right now requires quick thinking, resourcefulness and flexibility, we did manage to quickly pivot and host the call on a different platform (Thanks Travis!!!) So tune in to hear us share our thoughts about the "new normal" and discuss creative ways to sustain (and grow) your business during this challenging period and beyond.

In today’s episode, we are joined by one of our former guests, Travis Ketchum who is known for creating Contest Domination and is now running his most recent program, Campaign Refinery. After getting frustrated with the lack of proper services to test deliverability options, Travis decided to create one himself. You are in for a treat as Travis talks about the amazing split testing that his tool can do on multiple levels, which not only saves you time but the annoyance of having to switch on the front end from one carrier to another, as it’s done on the backend of his software. We also dive into the key things everyone should be doing to make sure their list has the highest quality threshold and the best chances for high open rates. Plus to set yourself apart, we talk about some other cool ways to get your readers excited about hearing from you such as gamifying your list. Lastly, we get into some real talk about a subject we continue to discuss which is anxiety, depression, and becoming stuck in comparison mode and how to combat those things to keep you on track. After you are finished, be sure to listen to our previous episode with Travis as he discusses how to build a list with contests and giveaways along with our episode with Wilco de Kreij on how to build your list exponentially. “If your compass was one-tenth of one degree off it’s not a big deal for the first mile, but you do that path forever and you end up in a wildly different spot.” - Travis Ketchum Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to clean up your list for maximum deliverability results Why you want to split test everything on the backend How to add gamification to your email list-building model The different levels of split testing How to keep things in perspective when things go wrong How Travis’ new podcast is a platform about the frustrations with running a subscription business The evergreen flash sale Tips and dealing with anxiety and comparisons with other entrepreneurs when using social media Best practices for when someone hits the offer page after it’s over And much, much more!

It was a pleasure to chat to Travis Ketchum all about email marketing and what small businesses can do to build and then automate an email list that actually grows their business. Travis started off with one problem he wanted to solve: how to build a big email list, quickly.

Today, he's the Founder & CEO of Campaign Refinery, a "next-generation email marketing platform", and Contest Domination.Contest Domination changed the way people think about viral lead-generating campaigns. Over 29 million contest entries down the line, I chatted to Travis all about email marketing, lead generation, entrepreneurship and how to delight your audience without going insane or being held back by tech.

Contests are great for many things like list building, brand awareness, and even selling products. What’s also great is there are many built in features a contest has to help you go viral and get free traffic. Unlike a quiz, which I’ll cover in another episode, quizzes could potentially keep running forever. A contest usually has a start date and an end date. This is a built-in scarcity factor that causes people to take action and join before the deadline.
