Wherever we go and whatever we do, we keep being asked about the BEST email marketing campaigns people can run to make tonnes of cash.Well, we have the perfect campaign for you. It's called the Paparazzi Flash Sale campaign, and our clients are seeing some amazing results with it right now. Wanna know more and get your mitts on it? Let's go.

This is a hard question to answer, especially as we have over 40 email marketing campaigns (and counting) inside our membership The League. But ONE campaign definitely that stands out (because our members can't stop raving about it) is The Paparazzi Flash Sale campaign.We're consistently seeing our clients use this campaign and getting incredible results. For example, Hillary-Marie ran two versions of this campaign at two separate times and made $16,000 on each one - with a 20-21% conversion rate.Brad joined our membership in February, ran this campaign straight after, and made $3,915 in sales. Plus, he also got a bunch of new sign-ups for his membership, which stacks up additional recurring income too! And then Marc ran the campaign and made over $1,000 selling $10-$30 low-ticket products. This campaign is a BEAST!What is the Paparazzi Flash Sale email campaign?The Paparazzi Flash Sale campaign is our take on the flash sale or fire sale (as it's sometimes referred to). It's a 4-day campaign that helps you sell a boatload of stuff at a discounted price and with an added bonus or two. But let's take a step back to understand how this helps you sell. Sticking a discount on something doesn't necessarily mean you're suddenly going to make lots of sales. That's why you need a well-thought-out email campaign structure behind it. You probably already know this from experience – a discount is no magic spell that makes people buy! Because you're never going to convert 100% of the people who see it. What you need is anticipation and moments in your campaign where you change direction. In other words, a campaign needs to have a flow to it. And the reason why our Paparazzi campaign works and is so successful is that it's a really simple campaign to deploy. So let's break it down. What do you need in order to launch your flash sale email campaign? The first thing you need to have in place is a sales page that's converting. As you know, we're in the business of email marketing here – not sales pages. So we're going to assume you've created a good sales page that's already converting well.Once you have that page, you're going to duplicate it. You simply create a copy of it, which will become your flash sale version. Then you're going to make changes to that version only. So don't go and tweak your actual sales page with the intention of changing it back once the flash sale is over. Instead, create a separate page for your flash sale. Once you've done that, you need to change the price of your product to the discounted price. But don't just delete the old price and replace it with the one one. Because if you do that, psychologically, people won't know you've applied a discount! What you want to do instead is to cross out the full price and put the new price

Our awesome client Hillary-Marie recently made $16,000 worth of sales with an email marketing campaign she implemented from being part of our membership The League. And you know what's even better? She copied and pasted that campaign, ran it again for a different segment of her list, and made another $16,000!Want to find out Hillary-Marie's success story?SOME EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: (0:18) Join our FREE Facebook Group.

Hillary-Marie has a membership that gives people access to all her courses and classes and also runs a certificate 10-week programme for teachers once a year. What Hillary-Marie sells is a super affordable B2C proposition. It can be a hobby for some people, but for the teachers who are enrolling in the certificate programme, their participation often comes from a desire to serve the needs of their students while enjoying their own tap dance journey along the way.Hillary's students are anywhere from absolute beginners to advanced and are often people who don't have access to a local tap class at their speed or level. So Hillary-Marie tapped (see what we did there?) into the opportunity to segment her two audiences (adult students and teachers) and serve them both simultaneously with the same exact offer.When did email marketing become part of Hillary-Marie's business?Hillary-Marie started her membership in 2016, and email marketing was always a part of her journey. From the start, she used email marketing to ask people to buy from her, so she started collecting email addresses straight away. But at that time, she was only reaching out to her audience when she had something free to offer or a product she wanted people to buy. Looking back, Hillary-Marie can see that only getting in touch when she had something to sell wasn't the best approach.About a year ago Hillary-Marie came to a crossroads in her business. As an artist and a dancer, she had always relied on social media quite heavily. But she came to the realisation that she'd either have to 'sell her soul' to social media (and spend all her time on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) to churn out as much organic content as possible, or she could invest her time, energy, and money into email marketing instead. And not sell her soul!Thankfully, email marketing is the route that Hillary-Marie decided to take. And she's glad she did because email has given her an opportunity to share stories in a way that feels honest and genuine, rather than just playing the game of the...

This one's for all the Tap Teachers out there. Take a moment and ask yourself... what does an awesome tap class look like? How do you know that the class you taught was great? For years now, Hillary-Marie has noticed a trend of dance teachers measuring a successful dance class by the choreography their students are picking up at the end of class. This can include how much choreo they pick up and how quickly they pick it up. Is this truly the measurement of a successful tap class? Tune in for Hillary-Marie's thoughts as she speaks directly to Tap Teachers.

Tap dance levels are tricky business. Why? Because there is no standard level that is acknowledged by the Tap Dance Community at large.

How do you know which level to sign yourself up for? How do you know which level to place a student in? Hillary-Marie answers each of these questions for you.
