👋 Hey Ultrapeople, it’s Vaibhav.

Happy Thanksgiving (unreliability)
segmentations & automations
BGW Progress Contemplation and Goals
In Today’s Issue:
Emailing Winters Survival
Emailing Winters Survival
I read this thread for 20 survival tips and tricks…
My tactic for survival from the email winters (bear).
No but seriously, I’m doomed.
I am kinda stuck right now as emailing in the month of december is shooting your self in the foot.
People are inundated with ads and emails. Spamming rate is off the roof. The ESPs have their shields on and most emails never reach the inbox. The unsubscribe rate is the highest ever and the ads costs too.
Considering the WTF principle, I will be testing new ads till January to acquire new subscribers and also focus on building a team to help me with the BD part of the business (selling ads to advertisers).
I plan to split test between all major platforms - Meta ads, reddit, Linkedin, and X.
Super sexy Segments
I spent almost the whole week designing and finalising segmentations and automations.
Its not as easy as it looks.
You need to think from the perspective of the subscriber. What you should do to build rapport? (building is public is a great way as you don’t have to think anything just present your life as it is without filters). Many Brands have killed it with their unhinged social media.
I divided each type and stage for subscriber and then build sequences for each person and stage.
Crafting the sequence and customising journey for each subscriber is a crucial step. I’m glad I’m done with it. Now I’m really exciting to move on to the next part of scaling and selling!
Next big thing after ads
After I start the ads, the majority of my time would be spent in growth hacking testing different venues to put out my BGW and the value everywhere. Then measure what works!
Cross promotions and reddit are two of my biggest targets. I’ll be posting my whole strategy in the next few letters.
