Email still has the best ROI of any marketing channel — by a mile. In this issue, we walk you through building your first automated email funnel using OmniSend, including sign-up forms, segments, campaigns, and automations. Bonus: No coding. No design degree. Just drag, drop, and launch.

🚀 Why Email Beats Social

Let’s cut to it:

  • Social posts? 5% bump in sales.

  • Email campaigns? Try 40%.

Email gives you:

  • Direct access to your audience (no algorithm roulette)

  • Higher conversion rates

  • Ownership over your list — no platform bans or reach drops

🧱 Step 1: Set Up OmniSend (It’s Free)

  • Go to OmniSend, click Start Now

  • Enter your email, password, business type, and info

  • Connect your website (WordPress, Shopify, Wix, etc.)

  • Install the OmniSend plugin (for WordPress users), grab your API key, and plug it in

🔑 Tip: Once connected, sync your brand colors, fonts, and social links for a cohesive email style instantly.

🧑‍🔬 Step 2: Segment Your Audience

Segment = smarter targeting.

Two essential lists to create:

  • Active Subscribers = clicked emails in last 30 days

  • Disengaged Subscribers = haven’t opened in 3 months

✅ Why it matters: These let you send relevant content, re-engagement offers, and avoid spam complaints.

📩 Step 3: Create Forms That Actually Convert

Two types to know:

  1. Pop-up Forms

    • Trigger after 5 seconds or on scroll

    • Use for promotions, newsletter sign-ups, or lead magnets

  2. Embedded Forms

    • Perfect for blogs, landing pages, or product pages

    • Copy the HTML code and paste it anywhere on your site

🔄 Bonus: You can target specific forms by device, segment, or page.

⚙️ Step 4: Set Up Automations

Let email work while you sleep. Start with:

🧵 Welcome Flow (Simple Automation)

  • Trigger: User signs up

  • Delay: 1 minute

  • Email: Branded welcome message with your offer or intro

🎯 Customize it with:

  • Personal name & preheader

  • Drag-and-drop layout (add buttons, banners, or product previews)

  • Match your site’s look with synced styles

📤 Step 5: Send Your First Campaign

Email campaigns = direct traffic + sales.

  • Create a new campaign

  • Use OmniSend’s built-in AI assistant to write subject lines

  • Choose a branded template

  • Link it to your product, landing page, or blog

🔥 Hot tip: Use the Campaign Booster to auto-resend to anyone who didn’t open the first one.

🧾 Final Step: Analyze and Optimize

After your campaign goes out, track:

  • Open rate

  • Click rate

  • Revenue generated

Use this to tweak subject lines, offers, or timing. Then repeat. Email gets better with iteration.

🧮 Pricing Snapshot (As of 2025)

  • Free for small lists

  • Paid plans start at ~$11/month for 500 contacts

  • Scales based on subscribers — not features

💡 Pro Tip: Automation + segmentation = massive ROI. It more than pays for itself.

🏁 Bottom Line

Email is the most underrated, underpriced, and underused side hustle weapon. You own the list. You set the rules. And tools like OmniSend make the whole thing brain-dead simple. Whether you're running a side hustle, building a personal brand, or selling templates — start now, not later.
