While going through my sent broadcasts (I mean my past newsletters) yesterday

I saw a lot of emails that have a lot of engagements.

Even open rates and click-through rates.

I was surprised these newsletters have high open rates.

Because as it is my own way of life…

I stopped obsessing over things like open rate, click-through rate, etc.

And this is because most of these things bring some level of depression. 

Because why on earth would I take my time to write something huuuuuuuj and you won’t open and read.

O wrong.

So I stopped checking those altogether. 

I just open my notepad every morning. 

I write as it’s coming to my head (mostly inside Toilet)

Then I go to my laptop.

Open my Aweber dashboard and paste what I wrote in my notepad.

Then schedule and leave it.

No time to waste time…

But when I checked yesterday and I was seeing a 40% open rate on a list of over 1500 people. 

I knew I was doing well.

I laughed and smiled well.

In fact, I was grinning from ear to ear before someone came to spoil my mood.

And this made me remember my starting point.

I was only sending emails to like 30 people and even out of that.

Only 10 people open the emails.

And then, I was dwelling over the opens like crazy.

It made me want to quit and I knew I had to just stop or else.

Wahala.

You see, it’s really easy to fall into depression when we are obsessed with numbers.

Yes.

It’s that easy but you should let go.

Just keep doing your stuff.

Leave numbers alone.

Keep at it and you will soon discover that you only have to enjoy what you are doing.

The numbers will come.

Apart from the advert I ran to build my list (I am even considering not doing it again)

I get new signups every day organically I.e people on my list still tell others about my emails.

And that’s all I want.

That’s enough for me.

And that’s why I am here to say thank you.

Thank you for opening my emails daily.

Thank you for clicking to check my sales pages even when you don’t buy.

Thank you for sending others to learn from me even if you don’t do it.

Thank you for replying. 

Thank you for getting my courses.

And thank you for everything. 

Even though I know it’s supposed to be a privilege for you to learn from me.

I still believed if you are not here, I would have packed up a long time ago.

And with that, I have two requests for you today.

Firstly.

If you have to go back in time since the day you started reading my newsletter.

Which issue of my newsletter resonated with you the most?

Just tell me the subject line and I will figure it out from there.

You know how to do that right?

It’s simple.

Just search for Dolapo in your email inbox.

Then check for one issue of my newsletter that you like so much.

Tell me the subject line and I will pick it up from there.

And the second request is simple.

So far so good, what don’t you like about my newsletters?

Just tell me and don’t hold anything back.

Insult me if you can.

Call me a mofo if you can

Just tell me what you don’t like or what you hate.

And I will adjust possibly. 

I think you get the two requests?

Good.

I await your reply like I am waiting for a call from my girlfriend. 

Dolapo Hamzat. 

P.S:

Tomorrow is the lapsing date for the payment of my email marketing live class.

And so far, we are over 20 in the group last I checked.

I love it though.

And we will commence anytime soon.

So if by chance you have been wanting to pay and you are waiting for the deadline.

Here you go: Email marketing live class.

Read what it is all about and pay.

Join me in class and learn from me for that cheap amount of money.

Or not.
