How Effective Entrepreneurship Requires Networking

See the source image

Whether you’re an established entrepreneur or just starting out, you’ll need to network. The best thing you can do for yourself and your business is learn to network effectively. There are many reasons to do this, but perhaps the most important is to avoid business failure.

Why is networking essential? According to the BLS, roughly 20% of all small businesses fail within their first year. To avoid becoming another statistic, do everything possible to keep your business alive and relevant even before you start it. Networking is a great way to start.

To network effectively, you don’t have to attend every networking event and attend every professional conference. Don’t just meet people; that’s pointless. What matters is who you meet.

  • Business expansion
  • Finding New Partners
  • Becoming more visible

Business expansion

Networking can help you build the right team before your business takes off. After all, you want to be surrounded by people who are compatible with your goals and aspirations.

Even if you start as a one-person show, you will want your business to grow with you. Hiring from a network of people you know and cultivating relationships with people you already know can be extremely beneficial to a business.

Finding New Partners

Someone you met in college may become an investor, or a colleague from a professional conference may help you meet a new client. Building a network is important, but so is nurturing the right kind of network.

You may think you have a great idea and wonder why it hasn’t worked out. In this case, your network can help you turn those ideas into viable business options that will yield results. Talking to other experts in your field may reveal how little tweaking or adjusting is required to make a good idea great.

Talking to people who have the same intellect and vision as you can help you grow and flourish.

Becoming more visible

When you network effectively, you become more than your company’s face. It’s best to stand out for what you can offer rather than just one thing you’ve done, as any aspiring entrepreneur knows.

With a regular network of contacts, you can become the go-to entrepreneur for new ventures and new career opportunities.

Remember that ineffective networking will negate all of these benefits. Start with a light conversation. Discuss your interests and specialties, and remember to exchange contact information.

How to Boost Email Delivery

See the source image

When email marketers discover they have deliverability issues, they wonder why their open and click-through rates have dropped. Why are my emails Spam? Why are my emails being blocked? What went wrong, etc.? When faced with such questions, we always recommend answering two:

  • To whom do you email?
  • How do you email?

Honest answers will reveal the root cause of your deliverability issues.

Who Do You Email? Choosing Your Targeted Market

The list you send usually determines your sender reputation and Inbox rate. Email marketing has evolved beyond simple ‘Send’ and ‘Forget’ campaigns. ISP email filters use many signals to decide whether an email is Inbox or Spam. User engagement, bounce emails, user complaints, and spam trap hits are examples. They help ISP build sender reputation.

Engaged Segmentation

Email service providers provide useful metrics like open, click-through, unsubscribe, and complaint rates. All of these metrics should be analyzed before creating an email campaign.

With user engagement, we look at how long a subscriber has been on the list and when they last clicked a message. What’s the point? Remember that user engagement is a factor in email placement. The more recipients interact, the better the sender’s reputation.

That said, you should consider different approaches for various subscriber segments. Subscribing but never opening or not opening for a long time should be treated differently than subscribing but recently opening.

Depending on your sending frequency, you may want to segment based on the last 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days. In the chosen time frame, the most active group responded to your emails. Their chances of buying again are high. Send them content that complements their purchases or downloads.

Consider creating separate campaigns for subscribers who opened the previous message and those who did not.

Send an active group a re-engagement campaign. Non-re-engaging subscribers should be treated as unsubscribed and removed from your database.

Email marketers frequently send the same campaign to all subscribers or segment them based on criteria other than email-like customer behavior. But if you really want to improve or maintain your reputation, you need to track who opens and engages with emails the most, and build your email program around different subscriber segments.

Spam by Users

Data collected by mailbox providers like Google Postmaster Tools and Microsoft’s Smart Network Data Services can also help determine if you’re targeting the right people (SNDS).

Google Postmaster Tools shows IP and domain reputation data. Keep track of your reputation’s ups and downs, and match them up with your email campaigns. You should also monitor user-reported spam. Notate the days when it is higher than normal and consider the cause. Did you send nonsense? Was it sent too quickly? Did you send to a dormant

Microsoft’s SNDS work with dedicated IP addresses. Sign up with SNDS to get reports on your IP’s email traffic. Filtered messages, complaint rate, and spam trap hits are important. This data helps you understand why your deliverability to Outlook and Hotmail subscribers is declining.

Identifying your target audience is the first step to resolving deliverability issues. Everyone isn’t right. Although you want to send to everyone, it isn’t prudent to do so.

You use recent opens and clicks to create engagement-based segments. The best audience is from 0 to 6 months. Your strongest audience will be those who have engaged in the last 14 or 30 days, but that is a small segment compared to the volume most email marketers want to send.

Focus on the key email metrics: opens, clicks, spam complaints, and unsubscribes to avoid being overwhelmed by data. You may be sending emails in circles trying to solve a problem that could be solved by simply addressing who you are sending to or the ISP you are using.

How Do You Email? Sending Infrastructure Setup

Email marketers usually have no issues setting up their domains and IP addresses. If you’re concerned about sender reputation, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Isolating Reputations

If you still want to email an unconfirmed or unengaged list, use a subdomain. You keep your brand and establish a separate reputation for the subdomain.

The same method should be used to separate mail streams based on email type. For marketing emails, set up a subdomain under your primary domain. Separate mail streams by subdomain to protect the primary domain’s reputation and ensure delivery of important transactional emails to Inbox.

How to Start Website Uptime Monitoring

See the source image

Now a crashed server is a matter of ‘When’, not ‘If’. In today’s world, no business can afford to be absent from the internet. As you will see later, an unreachable website can cost millions of dollars. Any business needs to monitor website uptime.

How to Monitor Website Uptime

Uptime refers to how long a website is accessible to users. Website downtime occurs when a website crashes and becomes unreachable.

Uptime is the total time a website was available during a period (month, year, etc.). The holy grail is 100% uptime, but that is highly unlikely. So focus on the ‘five nines’ – 99.999 percent uptime.

A 99.999 percent annual uptime rate equates to only 5.25 minutes of downtime per year. However, 99.9% uptime results in 8.76 hours of downtime; 98 percent (still good) results in 7 days and 7 hours of client inaccessibility.

Website uptime monitoring was created to check if a website is available. This service performs automatic 24/7 checks and notifies users if there is any downtime.

So, why is it so important to constantly monitor uptime, and what happens when a major failure occurs?

Downtime Consequences

  1. Revenue loss

In the highly competitive Internet environment, if your website is unavailable, users will simply switch to your competitor’s. While this is unfortunate for offline businesses, it is vital for e-commerce.

  1. Bad Reputation

The brand’s reputation also suffers due to the website downtime.

When your website is unavailable, you get irritated customers, complaints on Twitter and other social media, and prospects who will never convert. And by reputation, I mean a brand’s reputation as a whole, not just the company’s website. Because people extrapolate, a slow, clunky, or unavailable website may tarnish the brand and its product.

  1. Loss of Google Ranking

GoogleBot regularly checks your website for ranking factors, but we rarely consider uptime. But if your site is down, the crawler can’t access it.

Google is aware of the possibility of downtime. For a day, the website needs to be maintained. However, if a website has a recurring downtime issue and the crawler cannot access it, Google will not send users to that website. As a result, your ranking will plummet.

  1. Cyber-Attacks

Website downtime can be caused by malicious actors sending excessive traffic to the website, causing the servers to crash. This is called Disruptive Denial of Service (DDOS). Without going into details, you may not be aware that your website has been hacked, while your users are duped, valuable and sensitive data is stolen, and your brand’s trust is eroded.

Input/output monitoring

Why do I need Uptime Monitoring if it doesn’t prevent website crashes?

  • Be aware of any downtime

Your website may experience brief outages that go unnoticed but impact your search engine ranking. GlockApps lets you set check frequency up to 1-minute intervals to ensure you get an alert when your device goes down.

  • Protect your reputation

In fact, a person will not wait more than 2-3 seconds for a website to load. The GlockApps Uptime Monitor also shows a degraded status, which means a website is reachable but not fully functional.

  • Avoid financial losses

Timing is everything, whether it’s a server crash or a hacker attack. The sooner you learn about the problem, the sooner you can act. GlockApps Uptime Monitoring gives you the option to receive notifications via Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty, email, or SMS.

It’s time to take charge of your website!

Protecting Your Sender Reputation

See the source image

Internet users use firewalls, antivirus software, and spam filters to protect their computers, accounts, websites, and mailboxes. Online retailers and service providers use anti-fraud systems to prevent fraudulent orders, account creations, abuse, and infrastructure misuse.

In 2020, computer security is more important than ever. Due to the spread of COVID-19, many people have been forced to work remotely and use computers and the Internet more frequently. So the bad guys did their dirty work.

Worst of all, you may be unaware of your vulnerability. Email spoofing occurs when spammers use your website or email domain to send spam and phishing emails.

  • Email Spoofing
  • Does Email Spoofing Damage Sender Reputation?
  • How to Stop Domain Spoofing
  • Conclusion

Email Spoofing

Spammers use email spoofing to make recipients believe the message is from a known organization or person. The sender forges the recipient’s email address. They are more likely to trust a name and email address they recognize.

Outgoing email servers cannot verify whether the sender’s email address is valid or spoofed. However, not all email services have email authentication protocols in place to detect and filter spoofed messages.

Receivers can check the email headers to see if the sender’s address is forged, but no one does it, which helps the bad guys. People are used to believing what they see. So they open emails, click malicious links, send personal data, and even wire funds.

Does Email Spoofing Damage Sender Reputation?

Some people fall for phishing emails, but others consider them spam and notify their ISP. ISPs consider user complaints when calculating sender reputation. In general, the more spam complaints, the worse the sender’s reputation.

The worst effect of email spoofing is message blocking. When an email provider receives too many complaints from users or your sender reputation deteriorates, it blocks emails from your domain. Non-delivery of important emails causes financial and reputational losses.

How to Stop Domain Spoofing

The good news is that domain owners can use email authentication mechanisms to avoid or mitigate the damage caused by email spoofing attacks. They are:

SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

An email domain owner must add a TXT record to DNS naming the IP addresses authorized to send emails from a domain. The receiving server verifies the SPF record. Human error and DNS issues can cause SPF to fail.

DKIM (Domain Key Identified Mail)

Adding a TXT record to DNS also works. DKIM uses cryptographic keys to sign outgoing messages and validate incoming messages to prevent message tampering. The DKIM signature can be forwarded without affecting the message’s authenticity. This is called a “replay attack”.

DMARC (Domain-Based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance)

This method combines the two above methods and provides the most protection when enforced. A DMARC TXT record is added to a domain’s DNS. If a message passes DMARC authentication, it is delivered to the intended recipient. When a message fails DMARC authentication, the email receiver consults the DMARC record’s policy.

DNS or human errors can break email authentication at any time. If you discover it within 24 hours, your important messages may have been filtered to Spam or blocked. Set up uptime monitors for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to avoid failed email campaigns.

Conclusion

Email security is a must, not a whim. By using email authentication, you not only protect your domain from email spoofing and maintain your brand’s reputation, but you also protect email users from email phishing attacks. With the right tools, you can automate domain monitoring and be notified of breaches before they cause irreparable damage.

Automate Sender Reputation and Email Marketing

See the source image

Businesses and companies want automate email marketing to make it more efficient and free up time for other tasks.

Email marketers set up automated signup processes and follow-up email series for new subscribers. It’s a start. But email marketing automation is so much more.

Email List Automation

It goes beyond automated signup and unsubscribe. You can automate other aspects of list management to improve contact list management.

  1. User Engagement Auto-Tracking

First, you must automate email opens, clicks, and site visits. Then you can tag that data to the subscriber to see when people open your emails, click links, visit the site, etc. It will aid in list segmentation. Email service providers can track subscribers’ actions on emails, which you can analyze with Google Analytics.

  1. Encourage to Join Multiple Lists

You might have lists for newsletters, how-tos, and promotions. Allow the subscriber to select which email lists they want to join. Your subscribers will appreciate you sending them content they want to read.

Those who open specific emails or visit specific sections of your site may also be interested in receiving other newsletters. Those signals should be used to automate sending the right email to the right people at the right time. It’s not to spam them. Because it reduces the risk of unsubscribes.

A person who unsubscribes from a list after receiving all messages is gone forever. If you build a funnel that distributes people to different lists based on their interests, they can unsubscribe from one list and stay on others.

Re-engagement Campaigns Automated

No one stays on your list forever. Some unsubscribe, while others simply stop opening and reading your emails without clicking the “Unsubscribe” link. After 60, 90, or 120 days of inactivity, you need to re-engage the “dead wood” with automated re-engagement campaigns.

If they don’t return, set up a sunset policy. This can be done based on the GDRP policies or anti-spam laws.

Email Automation

In recent years, the email industry has evolved beyond simply sending a welcome email, waiting 24 hours, and repeating. More creativity, personalization and automation for different subscriber segments are required to maximize your email marketing efforts. Some automation strategies include:

  1. Intelligent Waiting Periods

You must consider time zones and weekdays. You don’t want to contact someone who subscribed to your company’s newsletter on a Friday afternoon. Send the second email on Monday or Tuesday to increase the chances of it being opened and responded to.

  1. Try something new

Using tracking data, you can segment people based on their responses to your first welcome email, for example. This is for people who opened the welcome email but did not click any links.

You may also have a copy for those who didn’t open the welcome email. You can send them a text message with a link and track their opens and clicks.

The best time to sell them is just after the first purchase once the wallet is open. When a customer buys, you must immediately consider their next purchase.

  1. Automate with Best Campaigns

Your best emails should be reused. Examine your best-performing subject lines, calls-to-action, and emails to see how you can automate your evergreen content.

  1. Automate Email Testing

Without delivery to the recipient’s Inbox, even your best-performing email campaigns fail. Regularly test your deliverability to ensure your messages reach your Inbox.

Your email sequences, welcome emails, and re-engagement emails should have automated email tests to detect spam placements and address issues by changing subject lines, templates, “From” names, domains, or switching email service providers.

Recap

Automation in email marketing not only helps grow email lists, manage subscribers and campaigns more efficiently, but also monitors domain configuration and IP address. It’s easy to fix a breach issue before it damages your reputation and deliverability with the right automated monitoring tools.

Image carousels are ideal for alerting customers to items for sale. It is also a quick way to turn visitors into paying customers.
