Photo source:  https://bookmaniac.org/about/ We were joined by Liz Henry who played a vital role in 2011 in unveiling the hoax surrounding the blog ‘A Gay Girl In Damascus’ — the fictional character Amina Arraf had become a beloved figure by many around the world at the time.  When Liz helped discover that Amina did not actually exist (and a catfisher in the UK was behind the scheme), many people who had been invested in Amina’s story experienced various levels of grief.  To many, Amina represented a key shift in conversation surrounding the LGBT community; finally, there was an Arab lesbian…

Liz Schneider '14 works on Google's real estate sustainability team, where she is currently the team's first-ever data manager. She helped create this role last year when it became clear that Google's ambitious new sustainability goals would require an unprecedented level of thoughtfulness around data management. In this new role, she's guiding the development of data systems that provide insight into all aspects of real estate sustainability, from renewable energy to water efficiency and waste tracking. Prior to Google, she spent five years as a sustainability consultant, working with federal agencies and Fortune 500 companies to develop and implement strategies for sustainability and climate resilience. When Liz isn't working, she can usually be found outside, climbing rocks and enjoying the Southern California sunshine. Bruin Success is hosted and produced by Christian Chavez '13.

This week on the show, I have Liz joining me. For 25 years, Liz was married to a gambling addict. In hindsight, the first red flag was when her ex never paid her back for her engagement ring. He had told her he wasn't good with money and had spent the money intended for the ring.  One day Liz went to buy groceries from the joint spending account and all the money was gone. Over time, her ex finally admitted to having a gambling problem.  When Liz was in hospital having their first baby, her ex completely drained her bank accounts. The same thing happened when she was in hospital having their second baby. Not wanting anyone thinking badly of him, she kept the secret to herself and spent years covering for him and paying people back that he owed money to.  Over the years, things went from bad to worse, and he even started gaslighting her, which resulted in Liz thinking she was imagining things. They experienced breaking up and getting back together, gambling counselling and rehab attempts, holidays where he disappeared gambling the entire time, suicide attempts and threats, and so much more. Liz shares how her ex even stole money from their daughters. This is a sad story, but ultimately one of hope, inspiration, and empowerment. Liz finds the strength to leave her husband and her toxic marriage for good and starts the new chapter of her life.  In this episode, Liz shares Part 2 of her story (check out last week's episode, Episode 244, where she shares Part 1).  Links mentioned in the episode: Jump on the waitlist for Thrive Tribe HERE.

Liz Hembling's daughter, Mia, attended a public elementary school. Liz noticed early on that she struggled terribly learning to read. In second grade, the school placed Mia in a remedial reading group, without communicating this to Liz. When Liz expressed her concerns, she was repeatedly assured that Mia was “on grade level” and “fine.” But... she wasn’t fine. Liz knew there was something wrong.This sent Liz on a quest to understand what's happening in the public school system. How could she create change to ensure all kids could access quality reading instruction and services? Liz joined Decoding Dyslexia Maryland and tirelessly advocates for students and families.

This week's 30 Rock has everyone questionsing their morals and ethics as the gang must decide between what's right for them, or right for the rest of the world. When Liz discovers the world's best pair of jeans and gets a huge confidence boost, she soon learns her "Handmade in USA" tag isn't quite right. Elsewhere Jack learns that Congresswoman Bookman is still urging NBC to fix itself before its potential Kabletown merger and he enlists the help of her political rival to run against her. Steve Austin (John Slattery) plays unaffiliated Rhode Island nominee, who wants to give America a renaissance, but also gives Jack the moral dilemma of doing what's right for him, and what's right for the rest of America. Finally, Tracy's Oscar chances have the ability to improve (or possibly crumble) when Jenna convinces him to host a party for the Hollywood Foreign Press, but it may have a larger impact than Jenna ever anticipated. We urge you to do the fin thing of learning of where companies you buy from stem from, because it's quite wild when pull out large enough to see who owns what and who's owned by whom.

How Communication Improves the Patient Experience with Elizabeth Poret-ChristWelcome to the Difficult Conversations – Lessons I Learned as an ICU Physician with Dr. Anthony Orsini. Our special guest today is Elizabeth Poret-Christ. Liz is a dear friend of Dr. Orsini and Director of Programming at The Orsini Way, where she’s involved in all aspects of marketing, scheduling, and teaching. As Dr. Orsini states “Without Liz, The Orsini Way would not exist”. Liz has several personal stories to share today, and what’s so amazing about Liz, is the way she took every one of her experiences, good and bad, and found a way to turn them into a positive. Dr. Orsini keeps his promise about two things, that you will be inspired, and you will learn communication techniques that will help you in your personal lives. Liz shares with us how she became involved in the Parent Advisory Committee at her local teaching hospital that led her to meet Dr. Orsini. She tells us the story about when her husband was critically ill in an ICU in Florida, and the difficult conversations she had with some doctors. You will be shocked to hear about one particularly bad conversation she had with a surgeon when her husband was close to death. You will learn why Liz repeats to herself often, “How do I help the next person from not having to experience that kind of things that I went through?” Dr. Orsini believes that physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals are especially compassionate, but sometimes it’s difficult to convey that compassion, and that’s what Liz and Dr. Orsini teach at The Orsini Way. When Liz and her husband got back home to NJ after 23 days in the hospital, they met with a surgeon that took over her husband’s case. Liz discusses his sharp contrast in communication skills compared to the first surgeon and how comforting he was to her husband. With just a few words, the surgeon said something so astounding to them that he made them instantly feel less afraid. Liz shares her experience with us about giving bad news, from the patient’s point of view. Having been on both sides of the conversation, she gives advice to the person who is receiving the tragic news and tips on what they should expect from the doctor, nurse or first responder. Dr. Orsini says, “This is why I love communication. It’s so powerful. By changing one word, by doing something just a little differently, you can make a real difference in people’s lives.” If you enjoyed this episode, please hit the subscribe button to find out more about what we do and how we teach communication.

Adam from Arlington is upset that his girlfriend Liz is being pretty cavalier about Coronavirus. He says while he admits he may be an overly cautious person, she is carrying on as if life were normal, going out and seeing friends and sometimes in rather crowded places. He says they both have big families in town they could pass it to, and he is concerned that she seems to be treating this pandemic like it’s no big deal. When Liz joins us she says Adam is a hypochondriac and is buying too much into the negative hype and refuses to let Coronavirus defeat her. She says she knows it is a global problem and is absolutely taking it seriously and being very careful wherever she goes but she is not going to stop living her life. She says if they can do everything in the world to protect themselves and still get it, then why just hide at home and sulk? As things start to get heated she says she also thinks Adam is just using all of this as an excuse to just stay home and play video games. Will these two need their own “Social Distancing”?

What does a company whose business IS email do when it comes time to redesign its email newsletter?  This week on The Inbound Success Podcast, I'm joined by Liz Willits, who is a Senior Content Marketing Specialist at email marketing software provider AWeber. Liz has sent thousands of emails in her time at AWeber, and has studied the performance of thousands more sent by AWeber's clients. She knows a thing or two about what works and what doesn't when it comes to email marketing and when it came time to revamp AWeber's own email newsletter, Liz applied these best practices, consulted with AWeber's readers, and conducted tests to develop a newsletter format that consistently gets 30%+ open rates. This week's episode of The Inbound Success Podcast is brought to you by our sponsor, IMPACT Live,  the most immersive and high energy learning experience for marketers and business leaders. IMPACT Live takes place August 6-7, 2019 in Hartford Connecticut and is headlined by Marcus Sheridan along with special guests including world-renowned Facebook marketing expert Mari Smith and Drift CEO and Co-Founder David Cancel. Inbound Success Podcast listeners can save 10% off the price of tickets with the code "SUCCESS".  Click here to learn more or purchase tickets for IMPACT Live Some highlights from my conversation with Liz include: Email is going through a renaissance and there are a number of companies that have now formed business models around their emails.  AWeber's new email newsletter, called FWD: Thinking, is designed to be more of a conversation with its audience than a traditional newsletter. When Liz began the process of redesigning the email newsletter, she sent a 10 question survey to the company's 30,000 subscribers to get their feedback. Based on reader feedback, Liz changed the layout of the newsletter to establish a clear visual hierarchy that would help readers understand what they should focus on. That simple change resulted in a much higher clickthrough rate on the first article in the newsletter. She also added images into the newsletter and says that modern email providers are much more capable of processing images, so they don't affect deliverability the way they might have in the past. Because many email providers block images by default, it's important to think carefully about your image alt text. Liz and her colleague split responsibility for writing the newsletter and one rule of thumb they follow is that the words they use need to be understood by someone who doesn't have a marketing background. The newsletter is sent from "FWD:Thinking" as opposed to "AWeber," and changing the "From" field has had a big impact on open rates. Liz recommends that email subject lines be between one and 20 characters and that marketers aim for open-rates above 15%, and click-through rates above 5%. List hygiene is important. Liz suggests removing anyone who hasn't opened one of your emails in the last six months.

Transcript Kathleen Booth (Host): Welcome back to the Inbound Success Podcast. I'm your host, Kathleen Booth, and today, my guest is Liz Willits, who is a senior content marketing specialist at AWeber. How's it going Liz? Liz Willits (Guest): Good. How's it going with you, Kathleen? Liz and Kathleen recording this episode Kathleen: Good. Good. Tell my audience a little bit more about what a senior content marketing specialist does, and what AWeber does. About AWeber Liz: Yeah. So, I've been at AWeber for around three years, and I do any kind of content creation. So, from webinars to landing pages, to blog posts, to guides, e-books, and email. I love email, and at AWeber, we're an email marketing platform. We're one of the oldest email marketing platforms, and actually, we invented email automation. Kathleen: Wow. Liz: Yeah. So, we are in the Philly suburbs. We have around a hundred thousand customers we help, and we help them connect with their audience with email. So, I'm obsessed with email marketing, I think that's my wheelhouse, and I love all things email. I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to email marketing which I never thought I would say that about myself, but it's true. Kathleen: Well, I love it. Email is a good thing to be obsessed with. I have been in the marketing world for many years now, and if ... I don't think I could count on two hands the number of times I've heard people say, "Email is dead! Email is dying!" Email is sort of like the cat with 9 lives, only it has more than 9. It never dies. I was just talking to somebody about this how, and in-fact, I think we're putting an article up on our website in the next two days about how email newsletters are undergoing a renaissance, and there are some amazing newsletters out there right now, and really innovative things that people are doing with email. So, it's a cool field to specialize in, and I'm excited to talk about it with you. Email As A Business Model Liz: Yeah, me too. And, I totally agree, email is really going through a renaissance. There are a bunch of newsletters that I subscribed to that I'm obsessed with, that I get every morning, and there are whole businesses now built around email. I think of The Skimm and Morning Brew, who their business model is the newsletter, so it's really cool to see how that is working out. Kathleen: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I have always gotten The Skimm. I don't get Morning Brew, so I'll have to check that out, but I get The Hustle and Quartz Obsession, and those are, again, like you said, those are all email newsletters that are essentially business models that started as a newsletter, and now, they're moving into other things, because their newsletter is so lucrative. Liz: Yeah. Kathleen: So, it's really interesting. It kind of, they've turned things around and they're coming at it exactly the opposite way than most companies do, which is they have the business, and then they start the newsletter. So ... Liz: Right. AWeber's Email Newsletter Kathleen: Very interesting. So, now you, at AWeber, you all have a newsletter. Tell me a little bit more about that. Liz: Yeah. We have a weekly newsletter called FWD:Thinking, and it's for anyone who wants to learn about email marketing, and learn from some of the top experts in the email industry. So, it's all about email, and sometimes branches out into digital marketing, but we actually just rebranded the newsletter this year, so we are definitely going through that new newsletter feel, and just looking at email newsletters in a new way at a new perspective, and more of a conversation with your audience. Kathleen: Oh, I feel like we're going to have a lot to talk about because we just launched our newsletter in August, and similarly, it was a very interesting, almost existential exercise, because we hadn't had one in several years, and the world has changed a lot in that time, and what constitutes a good email newsletter has changed dramatically. So, maybe you could just start with talking about when you went through your rebrand, I'd love to, if you could pull back the curtain and share with us a little bit about, what did your team talk about? What were your goals? What were the models you looked at? I don't even know where to start I have so many questions. Liz: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. So, yeah. We've been sending a weekly newsletter for years, long as I've been here, and we hadn't updated it in the time I've been at AWeber which has been three years. We haven't made significant changes to it, and so we kind of were just looking at it and wondering what people were thinking about it, but we also have something we called a "sentiment widget" at the bottom of every newsletter we send, and it's basically this little happy face and a frowny face, and you can click on it depending on how you feel about the newsletter, and then it opens up a survey so they can fill in, the subscriber fill in more information about why they selected that. So, we generally get really great feedback, but there are some things we got in there like, "I'm a little bit overwhelmed by the newsletter sometimes. There's a lot of information in it." And things like that. And so, our team decided to do a full survey of our newsletter audience, so we built out a 10 question and 15 question survey to ask them what they thought of the newsletter, and if they had told us everything's perfect, we probably wouldn't have ... We might've ... We ... We're perfectionists, so we probably would've changed some things, but not to the extent we did. We got some awesome feedback about people who loved it, and some really great constructive feedback from people who said, "You know? It's a bit overwhelming at times. I want quick wins, and easy to-do items within the email itself." And, someone said to us, "It's good. It's a really good newsletter, but it doesn't knock my socks off." And we want that feeling of people being impressed by the branding and what's in the newsletter, so for me, when I got, when I saw that survey feedback, I was like, "Wow. We really need to rebrand our whole entire newsletter." Because I want it to be that feeling of, "This is amazing, and I can't wait for this to be in my inbox every week." So, that's kind of what caused us to do the rebrand and invest in time in that, because we're an email company, and we really want our emails to be something amazing for our audience. Kathleen: Yeah, you really just sort of have to lead by example when that's your business. Liz: Yeah. Kathleen: Now, how many people get your email? Liz: We have a little bit over 30,000 who receive our weekly newsletter, who's subscribed to the weekly newsletter in particular. Yeah. Kathleen: Okay, great. And, so you sent this survey out, you got the feedback. Talk to me a little about, from the feedback you got. What were some of the changes that you made, and how did they manifest in the new format? Liz: Got you, yeah. So, someone said that we needed to stand out more, so our brand design team rebranded the newsletter as far as look and feel. It was actually, we never had a name for the newsletter before, so we decided that it needed a name. The newsletter itself, it can't be "The AWeber Newsletter", it needed its own unique name and its own identity, so we called it FWD:Thinking, and that's F-W-D, colon, thinking. Kathleen: I was going to say, I love that. I immediately, of course forward thinking is a thing in and of itself, but I immediately was like, "Oh, you're forwarding the email because it's so good." And, that's awesome. Liz: Yeah, exactly. And so, our brand design team created a logo for it, and then we rebranded how all the imagery within the email, and the look and feel itself, so we coded out a whole new email template for it. It has its own colors and it's own look and feel now, so the branding is a lot stronger. So, that was one big change we made, and another thing was that, people told us, "There's so much content in this, and it's great valuable content, but I don't know where to start sometimes." So, we changed up the hierarchy of the email. We used to three articles right on top of each other, and the way it was designed was that the articles all looked the same. It was headline, description copy, and the CTA button. So, what we did in the new redesign, was we have one article at the top that takes prominence, and it's much bigger, longer description. And then, we have two sub articles below that, and they're smaller. They're side-by-side, so for the reader, it tells them exactly what article is most important, or what video is most important visually, and for us, it was a way for us to highlight our new content, because we were really only publishing around one new blog post a week, so to have three equally weighted post didn't make sense for our publication schedule either, so we share older content in those smaller sections. Kathleen: Yeah, that makes sense. Now, did you notice when you made that switch and you highlighted the one article on the top, have you noticed a difference in click-through rates since doing that? Liz: Yeah. So, the click spread, more people click on that first article. A lot more people click on the first article, and a lot less people, the second and third article get much fewer clicks, which was our goal for sure, because that new article is the one that we want to get the most clicks on. Overall click-through rate increased too, but what was most interesting to me actually, was the, how much of the clicks the first article now gets. Kathleen: Yeah, that makes sense. It sort of seems like if the other two articles are older, the click-throughs on those are nice-to-haves as opposed to need-to-haves, but the first one is a need-to-have. Liz: Right. Right. And, it makes it easy for our readers and our subscribers to just, if they only have time for one thing, that's the one thing they can click on. Because, that was a lot of the feedback we got too, was that, "I don't have much time. I end up saving these emails in a folder to read later because I don't have time to read them." Kathleen: Ah, the notorious marketer's "saved for read later" email folder. I used to have a folder that was labeled, "Read this today." And I had all my newsletters go into that, and at one point, I realized that there was like 5,000 things in my "read-this-today" folder, and I was like, "Either, I need to relabel this, or I need to get serious about actually looking at these things." Liz: Yeah. Yeah. And, I think, yeah, that's what happens to me, too. I have the same thing. I have folders where I share it for later, with good intentions of reading it later, but it doesn't always happen, and that was another thing we decided to do was to add read-times to all of our articles. So, we added to our top article, say something like, a six-minute read, or the time it takes to run a mile with an egg on a spoon, in your mouth. Liz: So, we'll have a fun comparison to the read time on the first article, and then the lower two articles have just a three minute read, two-minute read, and ... Kathleen: Wait, who runs a mile in six minutes with an egg? I can't run a mile in 10 minutes without an egg. Liz: I know, that was exactly what I said. I'm lucky if I run a six-minute mile after months of training, forget the egg on the spoon part. Kathleen: Yeah. I'm lucky if I run a mile, period. I like that though, that's great to inject a little bit of humor in. Now, going back to your first comment, you revamped the branding of the newsletter. How much of a factor in your decision making around the new newsletter design was deliverability and the need to balance the volume of images and other things in the newsletter? Liz: Right. So, I would have to say we always balance our images just based off of design theory, not overwhelming people visually, so we always do typically one image associated with each article, but as far as delivery, images have less and less of an impact on delivery anymore. So, images in your emails, really, I was just talking to our director of deliverability about this, and she's phenomenal, knows all these things about email deliverability that I would never have thought of or guessed, but she was telling me that, as Gmail, and Yahoo, and these internet service providers become more sophisticated, the weight of images in your emails matters less and less because they can handle them better. So that wasn't, delivery itself wasn't, a huge thing that we considered when we were doing imagery and the rebrand. Now, if you have a zip file in your email, that's a different story, or GIFs, if you're using a ton of GIFs, that can really up the load time of your email, and perhaps cause delivery issues, but images themselves weren't a big factor for us because internet service providers have gotten more sophisticated where they don't hurt you, your delivery rate doesn't hurt, because you added images. Kathleen: Now, what about from the standpoint of the user experience? Because one of the things I've noticed, and we've started talking about this ourselves, about myself, is that when I open my long crowded folder of things to read today, and I go into these newsletters, inevitably, I use Gmail, it's blocking the images, and of course, there's the little button that says "display images below", but I don't usually click it unless there's a really good reason. And so we've talked a lot about, how many images should we include if the majority of people aren't going to see them by default? And, if they don't click on that, then does it because a weird experience of blank spaces? I'm wondering if you all have talked about at all in your decision making about the newsletter. Liz: Yeah, absolutely. So, we always do a plain-text version of our newsletter, too, and we just set up the plain-text version in AWeber, and that version is, if there are no images showing, this is how it looks, and we also have alt-text on our images. So, if an image doesn't show up, the newsletter still makes sense. So, we've talked about that a lot, because, yeah, you're right, a lot of people have images turned off. You have to think about, "What's the experience for them?" And you have to also think about, "What's the experience for all of my subscribers?" Some of them might be using screen readers, so what does this sound like when it's being read out-loud? So, yeah. Definitely. We talk about that a lot, and I think that's where alt-text behind the image comes in. We make sure that if the image doesn't appear, that there is that alt-text that will give the user the prompt to know what to do still. Kathleen: Yeah, that's great. And then, you had also talked earlier about tone. It sounded like all had made some changes in the tone of the newsletter as well, in addition to just the look and feel of it. Liz: Yeah, definitely. We're trying to be much more conversational and more relaxed, and more like a friend in your inbox, not a market. So, we don't want to be that person who appears in the inbox and is using these marketing words like ESP and ROI and ARPU, we want to be that person who makes marketing and email marketing something fun, easy, and simple, because that's what it should be, and good email is a conversation in the inbox, and should be more like a letter to a friend rather than, sometimes what we intend to do as marketers is this formal writing. So, yeah. We're trying to make it fun with things like that read time, and just a more relaxed tone. Kathleen: And, you said, does ... The newsletter goes out once a week now? Liz: Yes, that's right. Kathleen: And, is it one person that writes all of them? Liz: It's my colleague and I, who's another content market on our team. So, it's the two of us who write them. Kathleen: Okay, because my next question was just going to be around having kind of at-least conceptually established what you want that tone to be like. How do you ensure that it's ... That, especially if more than one person's involved in writing, that the tone is delivered consistently, but also, are there any guard rails you set up? Because that, I feel like that conversational tone can easily veer into areas that could get a little bit trickier. I'm curious how you all have handled that. Liz: Right. Yeah, so we have a review process. So, whether I write it, or my colleague writes it, the other person reviews it, and so we're both looking at it from the tone perspective to make sure it aligns. And you're right, tone is tricky. A lot of people think tone means, oh, add in these really casual millennial-esque words, and now I have a great tone. Tone is difficult, because it's more like writing like you would speak, or writing like a person. And so, yeah. We definitely edit each other, and we have a very formal review process so that we can look for tone, and we always look for typos, of course, and things of that nature, but then also, is this the right tone? When we're both going to edit it and review it. Kathleen: Yeah. Any specific do's or don'ts that you all have developed? Liz: As far as tone, in specific? Or, just email review? Kathleen: Well, I would say tone and just language, the things you can and cannot say, that sort of thing. Liz: We, big thing for us, a big rule for in tone, is if an average person who's never had a marketing an article at all doesn't know what the word is, it shouldn't be in the newsletter. So, that's a big one, and I think that's an easy one to fall into because, as a marketer, you're so used to the language, that I think sometimes you don't even track the fact that the average person might have no idea what you're saying. Yeah. So, that's definitely a big rule for us to read from the lens of someone who's never read a marketing book or a marketing article. Kathleen: That's great. That's a really nice guidance, because we do, marketers are horrible, horrible violators of jargon, and we like to make ourselves sound smart by using big words, right? Liz: Right. Kathleen: So, what about who the newsletter comes from? What appears in the "from" field? Is it the company name? Is it a person's name? Liz: We actually switched it over to FWD:Thinking. So, the name of the newsletter, and we had a big boost in open-rates when we did that. And, changing your sender name is definitely something you want to do with care. So, you shouldn't change your sender name every week. So, if you do change it, it should be something that you stick with for a few months, because constant changing of sender name actually does negatively impact deliverability. So, we made a very conscious decision, and we talked about it for a while, too, of whether we should change the sender name. It had been "AWeber Blog" as a sender name, which is pretty boring, and not all that interesting. And, we debated it for a while, and we decided, "Okay, we're rebranding this newsletter. Let's go for it. We're going to send it from 'FWD:Thinking'." And, right after doing that, we saw a big boost in open-rate. And, but the thing to be concerned about, always with changing the sender name, is, "Will people recognize me in the inbox, or will I be marked as spam?" So, we made sure to make the introduction of our newsletter before we changed the sender name. So we wrote a whole article describing the rebrand, and our new name, and why we were doing it, and then, around a month later, after they'd been seeing the logo every week in the inbox, the new FWD:Thinking logo, that was when we changed the sender name, because we were very concerned that if we just all of a sudden changed it, that we could get marked as spam a lot, because people wouldn't know who we were. So, changing the sender name is definitely something to be careful about, but I think if you're, if you want a strong brand, it has to be something that's very consistent with what your newsletter is and what it's doing. So, if you're a solopreneur, you might want to use just your name, but if you're building a brand, it might be the company name. Kathleen: Yeah, that makes sense. What about subject lines? Do you have any kind of particular approach to that for the newsletter? Liz: I'm ... I think short subject lines are really effective right now. I think a lot of people have subject lines that are 40 characters and up, and I think one to 20 characters is really effective right now, because most people aren't doing it, and most people can't find a way to have 20 characters or less, and still be somewhat descriptive. So, it takes a lot of skill to be succinct, but to also be descriptive. So, I think one to 20 characters is a sweet spot right now, but I think it always changes. So, if everyone starts to do one to 20 characters, then I think long subject lines might work better. But I think short subject lines are great right now because a lot of people aren't doing them, and because of mobile readers. So, if people open your email on their phone and all they see is the subject line, it often gets cut off if it's more than 30 to 40 characters, so that's why the short ones are nice because they don't get cut off. Kathleen: Got it. And, do you tend to use subject lines that are descriptive of what someone will find in the newsletter, or is it something else that's more fun and playful? Liz: We usually use ones that are descriptive of what's in the newsletter because our audiences told us they appreciate that. In the past, we've tested fun ones, ones that aren't descriptive of our newsletter, and we've gotten feedback that, from our subscribers, that they said, "We like it when you use the descriptive ones and we know what's inside the newsletter." So, for our audience, that works well. But I know The Skimm, for instance, does really random, fun, quirky, subject lines that have very little to do with the email content itself. So, I think it's something as a brand or as a company that you should test with your own audience. Kathleen: Yeah, and that really fits well with The Skimm's brand, because they are kind of irreverent and snarky, and yeah. Liz: Yeah, absolutely. Kathleen: So, that's really the actual email itself. I would love to learn a little bit more about your process around delivering it, specifically things like, you have this large list, do you have any policy around whether you send to your gray-mail list, your less engaged subscribers? Do you have any kind of rule, if somebody hasn't opened one in so long, they get cleansed from the list? How do you handle list hygiene? Liz: Yeah, absolutely. List hygiene is so, so important, and I don't think a lot of marketers know how important it is, or are doing it the right way right now. It's really important that if someone hasn't opened your email in a while, you get them off your list, because they're actually hurting you. I've heard people say, "Well, I have a large email list. What does it hurt if I have a bunch of people who are on there but never open? Because, they might eventually open." But, it does actually hurt your email deliverability, which means how many emails are reaching the inbox. So, if you have a user, let's say they haven't opened in six months, I would delete them or send them a re-engagement campaign and ask them, "Do you still want to be on this list? If so, let me know. If not, you can opt out here." And if they don't open that email, I would definitely delete them off your list, because the higher your open rates are, the higher your click-through rates are, the more likely you are to get into the inbox and not the spam folder. Or sometimes, emails don't go anywhere, so definitely, regularly deleting people from your list is important. It's not how big your list is, but how engaged it is that matters. So we, I recommend, you aim for open-rates above 15%, and click-through rates above 5%, and so does our director of deliverability. So, if you're not around there, list cleaning can help for sure with that, and sometimes it might be a problem with your content, so if your content's the problem and it's not engaging, then that is what should be fixed. Kathleen: What about, do you have a KPI or a metric to shoot for with unsubscribes? Liz: With unsubscribes? No. What I like to do is keep a baseline of that. So, I have an average that I keep, for our newsletter, of how many unsubscribes do we get each time we send an email, and if that suddenly spikes, that's when I would be concerned. So, I don't necessarily have what you should aim for there. For spam complaints, though, you definitely want to aim for less than .1% or something around there. The fewer spam complaints you can get, the better, because those impact your deliverability. AWeber's Email Newsletter Performance Kathleen: Yeah, interesting. And, can we talk a little bit about the performance of your newsletter, specifically? Are you willing to share any of your own stats? Liz: Yeah. I can share some general stats for sure. Kathleen: Okay. Liz: Yeah, so as far as open-rates, click-through rates? Kathleen: Yeah. Liz: Yeah. So, our open-rates are usually around the 30% mark. Kathleen: That's really good. Liz: Yeah, it's solid, and we have sometimes where we'll get an 80% open-rate depending on the email. Kathleen: Do you crack open a bottle of champaign when that happens, since you're the email lady? Liz: Yeah. Yeah. I get super excited. But yeah, and it really, it varies from email to email. Transactional emails get such high engagement compared to newsletters, which I think is super interesting. A welcome email for instance. I've had welcome emails that I've got 96% open-rates and 60% click-through rates, which for me is crazy, because I think a baseline that people see often, is an open-rate between 20 and 30%, and a click-through rate between two and five, let's say. Liz: So, any time there's a click-through rate above 10% or an open-rate above 40%, I'm partying. But, it definitely depends on how frequently you clean your list, so if you are cleaning your list all the time, then you can expect higher open-rates and click-through rates. Kathleen: Yeah, that's so true. And, how does that performance compare to the performance of the newsletter before you made all the changes? Liz: So, before the changes, our click-through rates and our open-rates boosted. It wasn't world changing crazy changes, but it was, we definitely increased, and we got a lot of quantitative feedback that backed up our decision. I mean qualitative feedback that backed up our decision. So, users told us they loved the changes in the newsletter. So, we definitely saw an increase. It wasn't, now we get 90% click-through rates or open-rates every time, but definitely, definitely an improvement. Advice For Starting An Email Newsletter Kathleen: And if somebody was looking to start an email newsletter in March, or revamp the one they have, any advice that you would give to them? Liz: Get ... If you have subscribers already, get feedback on them on what they're looking for, for sure, because I think, for me anyway, I will often lead of my assumptions about my audience, like, "Oh, I think they want this." Or, "I think they want that." And then I'll ask them what they actually want, and it's very different from what I assumed, because I am one person with one perspective, and my subscribers might be a totally different audience with totally different needs and problems. So, definitely, definitely start with user feedback and subscriber feedback on what they want, and then listen to it, even if it's not what you wanted to hear. Liz's Favorite Email Newsletters Kathleen: Yeah. Now, you mentioned when we first started talking about this, that you have certain newsletters that you really love. Can you share what some of those are? Liz: Yeah, absolutely. I love The Skimm, I mentioned that. Greatist is another newsletter that I love. I don't know if you've ever heard of Greatist, love them. Kathleen: No, what, who does that? Because that's probably one if I just type in "Greatist", I'm not going to find it, is my guess. Liz: I think you actually will. I think it's greatist.com. I think that's their actual, that's their brand name. Kathleen: Okay. Liz: So, I think you would. They do a lot of lifestyle, all kinds of different articles. It's kind of like Buzzfeed in a way, it's Buzzfeed-esque. And then, another one I really love right now is called Finimize, and it's financial information delivered everyday to your inbox, so really good things on how the economy's performing and on different companies and how, what they're doing strategy-wise, and how that's affecting stocks. So, I think that newsletter is making financial stuff much more accessible. So, I always love when a newsletter takes a topic that people struggle with or they don't know much about, and makes it accessible, because that's solving a problem. So, for instance, The Skimm does that, because I don't have time to hunt down all these articles everyday and all of the latest news, and The Skimm just drops it my inbox and explains it in a really accessible, conversational way. Kathleen: Yeah. Liz: So, those are always the newsletters I love. Kathleen's Two Questions Kathleen: That's great. Now, switching gears for a minute. So, I have two questions I always ask all of my guests. You've shared the newsletters you like the best, but I'm curious, when you take a step even further back, and you look at the world of inbound marketing, who would you say, company or individual, is doing inbound marketing really well right now? Liz: I think Joanna from Copy Hackers is doing a great job. She's a conversion copywriter, and she does these Tutorial Tuesdays every Tuesday, and it's just an educational 20 minute long presentation and Q&A, and she is such an expert in conversion copywriting, and then people just come to her because she has these awesome education sessions every week, and then uses email to promote her paid products from there. So, I think she's just doing a phenomenal job of educating and giving value to her audience, and keeping them around, and then pitching her product at the right time, where people would never think of unsubscribing from her email list because of the value she's giving, so she can promote her product pretty much as much as she wants. Kathleen: Yeah, I've actually gone to some of her Tutorial Tuesdays, and they're great. They're quick, to the point, no time wasted. She's a very no-nonsense person, I appreciate that about her. So, that's a good example. And what about, digital marketing is changing so quickly, stuff with email is changing so quickly. How do you stay up to date? Liz: So, I love ... Do you know Ann Handley? Kathleen: Yes. Liz: So, I love Ann Handley's newsletter, Total Annarchy. So, that's like the copywriting email geek within me. She shares all of these phenomenal articles on writing in her newsletter. It's a ... I think it's a bimonthly newsletter. Kathleen: Yeah. Liz: And ... Kathleen: Every other Sunday, I love it. Liz: Yes. Yes, every other Sunday. And, she's actually one of our customers. I love Ann, but she does such a phenomenal job on that newsletter, and I love reading all of those articles. I also love Really Good Emails, they have a database of awesome email examples that you can look through, but they also send an email out, I think maybe a couple times a month, where they talk about a specific email marketing topic, and how you can up your game in that area. Kathleen: Yeah, those are two really good ones. I love ... First of all, I love Ann Handley as a person. She actually keynoted the conference that we had in August, and I got to meet her in person, and she's just so cool and so fun and dynamic. But I love her, the voice that she puts into her writing. It's like, you really feel like you know who she is as a person when you read her copy, which is great. Liz: Yeah, absolutely. I'm friends with Ann as well, and it's her newsletter, but it's also, if you email with her one-on-one, it's the same tone as she uses in Total Anarchy, and it's this fun, conversational tone like you're her friend. And so I think it's really interesting how honest and real her tone is, because you can see it conveyed when you meet her in person, when you email with her just on a one-on-one basis, and through her newsletter. She's amazing. I love her. Kathleen: Yeah, I totally agree. She is the person she seems to be in her writing, which is fantastic. Well, so interesting, I must be a marketing geek as well, because I could dive in and talk about email newsletters forever. We spend a lot of time talking about it with my team, especially now that we have this newsletter that we have launched a few months ago, so this was a lot of fun. Thank you. Liz: Yeah. Thank you for having me. How To Get In Touch With Liz Kathleen: Well, if somebody has questions about the stuff that you've been working on, or about Aweber, or just wants to connect with you online, what's the best way for them to reach out to you? Liz: So, if you want to reach out to me personally, my Twitter handle is @LizWillits, and that's one of the easiest ways to reach me. You can also reach me at email at elizabethw@aweber.com. We have a 30 day free trial of AWeber, and if you go to aweber.com, you can access that really easily, or awebber.com/connect. Kathleen: Great. I'll put all those links in the show notes, so if you're listening, and you want to connect with Liz or test out AWeber, just head over to the show notes and you can get all that right there. And, if you're listening and you learned something, or you liked this episode, I would love it if you would leave a review on Apple Podcasts, or the platform of your choice, and as always, if you know someone else who's doing kick-ass inbound marketing work, Tweet me at WorkMommyWork, because I would love to have them be my next guest. Thank you, Liz. Liz: Thank you.

Liz Murray has an incredible well-publicized story, which highlights her journey from homeless high school student to Harvard graduate. Liz’s story was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, made into a Lifetime Television film, and chronicled in her memoir, Breaking Night: My Journey from Homeless to Harvard.

Liz squeezed four years of high school into two, while homeless; won a New York Times scholarship; and made it into the Ivy League halls of Harvard.In this episode, Liz talks to Bobbi about her journey, and how she is trying to make the world a better place by mentoring at risk youth through the foundation she co-founded called the Arthur Project.

Liz Illig, owner of Puff & Fluff Grooming & Pet Sitting, located in Phoenix, Arizona, joins Stacy to talk about cat grooming, and about how Puff & Fluff helps area rescue groups. Growing up on a farm in Iowa, Liz has always had a strong connection to animals. During her college years in Arizona, she began taking on pet sitting clients, and after graduation, she decided she wanted to find a business that would be complementary to that work. She purchased a grooming business from its retiring owner, and she now has four shops in the greater Phoenix area, plus she has added pet sitting to the company’s services. Liz serves as a consultant to other area businesses, and as a board member at Gabriel’s Angels, an organization that assists local at-risk children by using therapy animals to help them work through issues they are experiencing. Liz is currently working on a large, day-long event with Puff & Fluff during which a number of area rescue organizations will be able to bring foster animals—particularly cats—in for grooming and photographs. The public will also be invited in to adopt animals that day. When Liz first took over Puff & Fluff, they business saw only a handful of cats each year, but now, five years later, just one of her shops grooms over 30 cats each week.Most of these cats are mixed breeds, and many are elderly cats that are having trouble grooming themselves. Liz tells us that it takes a special, calm person to be able to groom a cat. Her shops offer a 50% discount for rescue and foster animals, and she encourages anyone listening to call around to area groomers to see if they offer rescue discounts as well, as foster and rescue animals can often benefit from professional grooming to improve their adoption prospects. Liz & Stacy talk about some at-home grooming tips for those who aren’t able to bring their cat(s) in to a pet spa, including why you need both a brush and a comb to properly care for your cat’s coat. They also talk about addressing dry or oily coats, and about some of the things Liz clients do to dress up their pets around Halloween! Liz also offers some great tips on how to tackle the often overwhelming challenge of social media promotion. Her tips and ideas are applicable to anyone working in rescue or adoption, as well as to business owners. If you have a social media presence, you’ll definitely want to listen to Liz’s thoughts on how to break the process down into a more manageable one.

When she got older, she followed that dream and she tells this story in her recent book swell, and in this episode.

058 Liz Martin—General Federation of Women’s Clubs Changing the Power of One to Power to the Nth Degree Liz Martin believes in the power of people—especially women—joining together to make a difference in their community. But she’s also discovered how one person, using her specific skills, can make that power even greater. When Liz joined the Brentwood/Franklin Woman's Service Club she found much more than she expected. As a part of the international General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), her local club is one of the nearly 3,000 (combined membership of 80,000) working independently and together on significant issues, including supporting the arts, preserving natural resources, advancing education, promoting healthy lifestyles, encouraging civic involvement, and working toward world peace and understanding. The mission and history of GFWC attracted her to the club. She has stayed for more than a decade because of the benefits: She has met great people she might not have otherwise, expanded her knowledge of her community and of important national and international issues, and participated in specific projects locally and beyond. As club members got to know Liz, she was asked to be the treasurer. No problem! She definitely had the skills. Liz’s career was as a financial planner. Taking on the job was a way for this one person to give back. But she quickly discovered a new challenge: bringing their financial systems into the 21st century in terms of bookkeeping, computerization, and taking advantage of investment opportunities that would grow the organization’s dollars and consequently its potential for more good. Actually, that was the easy part, according to Liz. The bigger challenge was to change the thinking of the group from “we don’t want to lose any money” to “we can safely grow the money.” Fortunately, Liz’s years of helping individuals and families make that same transition to success have paid off, enabling the club members to greatly increase their impact on projects and issues they are passionate about. One person—investing heart, time, energy, and skill—joining with others of like mind and commitment changes the power of one to power to the nth degree!

Semi-deep thoughts after writing the back cover of the Expert Secrets book. On this episode Russell talks about how we grow in business and family life and all aspects and how the only way to continue to grow is to help others grow as well. Here are some of the enlightening things you will hear on today’s episode: Why if you are reading Russell’s book, Expert Secrets, it means you have already been through the trenches, and now you need to figure out a way to continue to grow. Why if you are only learning without ever moving on from that, eventually growth will stop and you will become stagnant. And how you can contribute to other people’s growth, and that will actually help you continue to grow. So listen below to find out how to avoid becoming stagnant in life and business. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone, this is Russell Brunson. Welcome to Marketing In Your Car. I hope you guys are doing awesome. I am so tired. I was up til 3 last night editing the book. It’s the final edit and guess what? It is finally getting really, really, really, really close. And it’s, I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty proud of it. So I’m just excited right now. But yeah, I was up til 3:00 editing and I woke up super early today because we got Funnel Friday starting in 11 minutes. So I’m racing to the office to go, I’ll probably be late. But that’s kind of like, you’re on Russell Brunson time, you’re going to be a little late sometimes. But anyway, it’s funny how much, I don’t think pain is the right word, but how hard it is for me to get into the book, writing, editing process. Because I think this is the final edit. So everything I leave there is going to be in print in a physical book for forever. And it’s never going to go away. So it’s like it’s so final. Steven was like, in the Dotcom Secrets book, there’s probably like 10 things I want to change. So it’s just like, you can’t, it’s final and that’s it. So it kind of stresses me out, but what can you do? It’s been good though. I started finally going through. I got about 50 pages of the 250 pages or so finished. So I’m hoping in the next day or so, I’ll be done. And then this thing we can send off to the publisher and get the formatting done and turn it into a book. So that’s exciting. It’s funny, I was Snapchatting me procrastinating last night and showing people stuff. You know how I have my little doodle drawings, which is kind of a cool thing I think. I feel like most people think it’s cool. But someone Snapchatted back, “Those drawings are cute but there childish and unprofessional.” Or something like that. I was like, “Are you kidding me?”  People are amazing. Why would you tell someone that? I wish I could see who it was on snapchat so I could tell them off. But I’m too nice of a guy, so I won’t even though I want to. Alright, so what I want to share with you. I was writing the back cover of the book last night. And that’s a hard thing to do too, because you’re just like, some people that’s all they’re going to read. So what do you say and how do you say it? I probably re-wrote ten times. That probably took 2 hours just to write that and get it. What’s interesting, when I did finally write it, I was kind of nervous because it’s, I don’t know, it almost goes a little deeper than….I don’t know. But I think it’s how I feel about this book, but it’s also how I feel about my mission in Clickfunnels. I’m trying to think of which part I should tell you now. Actually, I’ll rewind. So it’s interesting, Liz Tennison who is now helping me run the Funnel Hacker community and certification program and stuff like that. She’s awesome. She came to our house and she was filming a testimonial last week and when we were filming it I was asking her story about how she became an entrepreneur. And she told a story about when she first joined Mary Kaye, and the founder of Mary Kaye before she passed away she had a chance to hear her speak. And once she heard her speak, she was talking about how Mary Kaye for her was more than just a job or a business, it was a spiritual thing. And she said, “You know, a lot of times we can’t get into people’s houses with the Bible or with God, and so this is another way we can do it. Get into their house and try to help and serve them through makeup.” When Liz was telling me that she started to get emotional, and I started to get emotional. I was like, dang that’s such a cool thing because in a perfect world all of us, the way we serve each other is by bringing God and bringing things into people’s lives, you know it’s hard in today’s day and age. People don’t want that. People fight against their, it’s just like how else can we serve these people and get them to where they need to be? And it’s through other avenues we have to serve. So for me, and I think my entire team, we always talk about how Clickfunnels is more than a business or product. It’s a spiritual thing, we give people the ability to share their message and grow and help and serve as well. For me it’s bigger than a business, which I think I’m so passionate about it and why we’ve had so much success with it. So anyway, the reason I told you that is because I was writing this book, I was realizing that some of you are going to read this book, Expert Secrets, they’re typically not at the beginning of their journey. Most of them, and I’m going to most of them, most of us, most of you, all of us, the time that you pick up this journey is not you’re doing nothing else and then like, “I want to wake up an expert.” It’s usually because some experience happened in your life that made you want more, so because of that you started reading and studying and learning. And then after you learn things, you got excited, so you’re experimenting and tried it. Some things worked and some things didn’t work, and then You’re making up your own experiment. And it could be any avenue of life. Some of you guys, it was in fitness, some of you guys it was in relationships. Some of you guys it was in wealth, money, finances, or marketing. All of us have different things, but there’s something that happened. Some experience that made you go deep on the topic. And what happens is that we’ll typically go through a period of our life which is extreme growth. We’re learning, we’re learning and we become better and better at this thing and you’re growing. When I started wrestling, I started getting excited by it and started geeking out and learning and growing. It was this phase of my life where I went through extreme growth, but then there comes this point where you can’t grow by learning anymore. You just keep learning and learning and eventually, me learning more marketing tactics is not going to, I’m not growing anymore. You start to plateau. And when you hit that plateau point, I don’ think there’s any way you can grow by continuing to grow, it’s impossible. The only way to continue to grow is to transition from this growth into contribution. How do we share this growth with other people? And as you start helping them and sharing with them and you see them grow, That’s how you start to grow again. Your growth becomes dependent upon the growth that other people have. Does that make sense? So it’s this interesting transition point. You know the back of the book said basically, you pick up this book, you’re probably half way through your journey. You’ve probably gone through that and you’re growing and you’re stuck, and the only way to really progress is to help people become like you, to get to the spot you’re in right now.” I just think that it’s fascinating. I look at other things around me that that’s true in. An industry that I joke about a lot, but it’s serious is network marketing. You can make money but you plateau quickly, and the only way you can really grow is by helping those around you grow. That’s how you get this leverage and growth and make insane amounts of money that some people do in network marketing. If you think about your kids, half of your life is this growth phase where you’re selfish and you’re, most of us go through this phase of life and we’re kind of selfish and it’s all about us, then you find a spouse and then it’s all about you guys together. And then you get married hopefully, then you have kids and suddenly when you have your first kid, it transitions to, okay you’ve gone through this testing ground, the only way for you to progress now is to help these little people progress. And that’s how you start to grow. That’s how you become the next level of who you are supposed to become. Business for me is like that. It’s like having kids, it’s like it gives you the ability then to continue to grow. And from the spiritual standpoint, well I don’t know how deep I should get into these kind of conversations through a marketing podcast, but in a spiritual sense I think that’s how God grows. It’s through the perfection in us as children becoming more and growing and serving each other and it’s just such a cool cycle when you look at it from that standpoint. Anyway, without getting emotional or too much probably further than I’m supposed to on something like this, I just thought I’d share that with you guys because I think that what you and what I and what all of us are doing matters. And it matters a lot. Because it gives you the ability to affect other people’s lives. So this mission you’ve been on to grow and develop, the only way for you to continue that progress is by the transition where now you are becoming an expert. You’re helping other people, you’re serving them and bringing them up to your level. And when you do that, that’s where true fulfillment and happiness is. So I think it’s pretty cool. So there’s my message for today. With that said, I’m going to be late for Funnel Friday. It’s starting in 2 minutes and I’m probably 5 minutes out. But that’s what happens when you pull all nighters trying to change the world. Anyway you guys, with that said, I appreciate you all. Thank you so much for listening.

How do you get into, stay in, and play the game? Liz McLaughlin knows! She has discovered and sharpened specific skills stretching from dancing, acting and teaching, to directing, clowning and combat! (Liz takes the phrase "fighting for a part" to a whole new level)! In this Vancouver interview, you will soon learn how Elizabeth (Call me 'Liz'!) McLaughlin has made a name and reputation for herself as an excellent performer and teacher in formal and informal learning situations. And made a fine living doing so! How do you spend your spare time? When Liz has the opportunity, she serves the arts community – taking an active role on boards of local, regional and national arts organizations. In addition to adding value to the organizations, these obligations and activities constantly expand her own personal and professional networks. Remember – what you know, who you know and who knows you are all important in creative careers. You'll also discover that, when required, Liz coaches people to talk funny. Productions hire Liz as a dialect coach when foreign performers need to sound "American" or American performers need to speak like they are from long ago, far away, or down under. Can Fred really speak Romulan? Why does Marvin hate long good-byes? Good to know that, one way or another, Liz could coach them through it.

When Liz was 21, she had a good life – a promising legal career, a 9-digit inheritance, and was one of the heirs to her father’s business empire. When she turned 22, however, she lost everything upon coming out to her family. It took a few pity parties, but she eventually picked herself up. Now, at 25, she’s working towards a $100,000 nest egg by the end of 2018. Her newly founded blog, Splurging on Freedom, is a reflection of what she has lost, and what she has learnt. It also chronicles her progress towards financial peace and freedom.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chain-of-wealth-debt-investing-entrepreneurship-wealth-and-more/donationsWant to advertise on this podcast?
