Keep Your Email Newsletter Out of Spam
Rather than writing a new article about keeping your newsletters out of spam and promotions, I suggest reading "How to increase the open rates of your email newsletter," by Ghost.
The only thing I'd add is if you have a brand-new email address, if you use it to send cold emails, or if your messages continue to land in spam, consider using a warmup inbox service (I use Warmup Inbox) to boost delivery rates.
Teens & Social Media: What It Tells Us
There's a sea change happening right under our noses.
Do you use Google search? You're probably over 30.
Do you get your news from TikTok and Reddit? You're probably under 30.
The Pew Research Center released a report called "Teens, Social Media and Technology 2022." I trust Pew because they've researched social media use for ... well, since the beginning.
The report shows a dramatic decline in Facebook use among teens. Not surprising, given Facebook's nothing like TikTok, Instagram, or Snapchat.
We used to say everyone was on Facebook. That's no longer true. (... but everyone is on YouTube.)
Pay attention to this even if you don't work with people under 30.
If your marketing loses effectiveness, you may be on the wrong social media channel.
