Open Heaven 2 January 2020 Thursday MESSAGE:

Many times, people make plans for the day but are unable to complete them. Sometimes it is due to circumstances beyond their control, but most of the time, it is because they start their day late. I have discovered that the best way to achieve your goals in a day is to start when everyone else is still sleeping. At that time, you can work faster because there are fewer distractions. With God, a day starts in the evening; that is why in Genesis 1, you keep seeing “…..and the evening and the morning…..”. The day starts before the sun rises. If your day starts when it is still dark, then you are on the right track. Those who start their days early usually turn out to be high achievers. Our Lord Jesus is a prime example of this principle. Mark 1:35 states:
“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed". This is the beginning of the year, so it is important that you start working on your goals early. While everyone is still getting themselves settled in the New Year, you can have a head start by breaking down your plans for the entire year so that you can work on them step by step. Certain countries win gold medals consistently at the Olympic Games primarily because they start preparing their athletes several years ahead for that one event.
Start working on your goals early. If you are a student, start studying from the beginning of the semester or term, not when the exam time-table is out. If you are an employee or business owner, start preparing well ahead for your deliverable. This principle is what separates the successful from the not-so-successful.
Start early this year.

Open Heaven 2 January 2020 Thursday Key Point:

Make up your mind today to imbibe the principle of starting early.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Try out new things this year.

Avoid fear this year because the worst mistake you will make is to be
is to be afraid that you will make a mistake.


Stop procrastinating.

Take action NOW.

Open Heaven 31 December 2019 Tuesday MESSAGE:
The story was told of two women married to two men who were closely related. The husband of the first woman got a lucrative job and within three years, he had built a house for his family of five. Meanwhile, the husband of the second woman was not gainfully employed; he was just surviving by doing different menial jobs around. Unfortunately, because of her family’s good fortune, the first woman developed a negative attitude towards the second woman. The most disheartening aspect of this story is that these two women were worshiping in the same assembly. The rich woman taunted the other woman so much that she almost left her local church. As God would have it, the husband of the second woman got employed by a company, and six months down the line, the company where his relative worked was liquidated and sold to his new employers. The management of the buying company was magnanimous enough to absorb the workers of the liquidated company into their workforce, but at lower cadre compared to their initial designations. So, the husband of the first woman had to manage with a subordinate position in the buying company, and he wasn’t happy when he discovered that he would be an assistant to his relative, and that his salary was 50% less than that of his relative, who was less than 6 months on the job. The ways of God are past finding out! I pray that this year will end with you laughing last in Jesus’ Name.

The laughter that is most desirable is the one that comes last, because Ecclesiastes 7:8a says:


“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof:”

Are you going through a trying period? The word of the Lord comes to you today from John 16:20 as follows:

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.”

Are you living your life in wickedness? The Lord is also saying to you today in James 4:8b-10:

“8…Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”

He also says in Matthew 5:4:

“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”

In other words, those who mourn in repentance for their sins and misdeeds will laugh last. Beloved, to be able to laugh last, you need to give your life to Christ today, and you will escape the everlasting agony of an eternity in hell. Jesus is holding out His arms to welcome you into His kingdom today. Run into His arms and you will discover joy and peace like never before.

Bible in One Year: Songs of Solomon 1-4, Malachi 2:17-3:15

Open Heaven 30 December 2019 Monday MESSAGE:
The topic of today’s devotional is not a piece of advice that can be ignored; rather it is an express command to be taken seriously if we want to cross the finishing line of our Christian faith. In Matthew 26:41, during His hour of distress, our Lord said unto His disciple:

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

A quick lesson here is that temptation is a reality of life. The only way out of it is to watch and pray to ward off the tempter and his agents. Today’s Bible reading tells us why we must be vigilant and watchful: our adversary, the devil, is busy looking for whom to devour. He is described by the Lord as a thief with a threefold mission: to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). In spite of the fact that we have an indomitable Ally in the person of our Lord, He himself laid down an example for us by watching and praying. We can therefore not do without being watchful and prayerful in our Christian calling.

What are we to watch out for? We need to watch out for the tempter’s tricks, some of which can take the form of lust of the flesh. Samson did not watch enough to see the ditch his flesh was leading him into. Even when his parents warned him against the Philistine maidens, he refused to heed their words of reason, choosing instead to follow the leading of his flesh. Judges 14:3 says:

“Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.”

Another thing we must watch out for is the lust of the eyes. The world is full of abominable scenery nowadays. We must be careful of what we look upon and what we see around us. The unfortunate thing is that these horrible images are creeping into the Church nowadays – first to the pew and now to the altar. Lastly, we must watch out for the pride of life. Pride destroyed the devil and he is introducing it into people’s lives today to destroy them. The Church is becoming too flamboyant these days, and this is distracting us from our core assignment. Please don’t be caught in this trap of the devil. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 says:

“Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”


Let all your actions be guided by sobriety and watchfulness, so that you don’t become a champion of yesterday.

Read: Isaiah 61:1-3 (KJV)

1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Bible in One Year: Ecclesiastes 1-3, Zechariah 14:10-21

Open Heaven 27 December 2019 Friday MESSAGE:
One tactic the devil uses to gain access into the lives of God’s children is portraying our loving heavenly Father in bad light. His end game here is to make us fall from grace and glory into shame and pity. He successfully used this ploy against Eve in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:4-5 documents his approach:

“4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

The devil portrayed himself here as being more loving and caring than God! How deceitful! We see this character being manifested by his agents in the world today. When a man, who is actually ravenous wolf, begins to show exceptional care for a young girl beyond what her parents can afford, he is actually seeking to devour a precious part of the innocent girl’s life. A housewife who shows more care to a domestic male servant or driver than her husband may be walking in the same spirit as Potiphar’s wife (Genesis 39:7-20). If you find yourself in such a situation, please run for your dear life. The Holy Spirit already warned us about this, saying in Proverbs 6:26:

“For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.”

Contrary to what the devil and his agents would have us believe; God loves us. He proved His love for us by giving us the gift of Himself in His Son (John 3:16). The Son said in John 15:13:

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Did you notice that He called us His friends in this verse? It is a foolish thing to think that anyone can love us like God the Father and His only begotten Son do. It is because of this love that he promises you beauty for ashes in today’s Bible reading, beloved, do not listen to the negative comments of the devil about the Lover of your soul, who is specifically sending this message to you today so that you may know He has not forgotten you. He sent me to tell you that He is processing your prayers for the appointed time. So, don’t be weary in your faith, because you are next in line for a testimony. The God who did wonderous things in David’s life, so much so that He penned the words of today’s memory verse after overcoming all his foes, will do the same for you this season in Jesus’ Name.

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Open Heaven 24 December 2019 Tuesday MESSAGE:
When our Lord Jesus Christ was leaving the earth, He promised that He would send us a Comforter who would teach us all things (John 14:26). That Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, came on a certain day of Pentecost, and He has been with the Body of Christ ever since then (Acts 2). The Lord sent Him to serve as His representative in our lives, and His ministry in us is so invaluable. His presence in man’s life is transformative and empowering, so much so that those who don’t have Him or who are not full of His presence do not know what they are missing. He is such a precious Partner in accomplishing the will of God for our lives in this world.


When a person becomes born again, the fellow suddenly begins to feel an unusual peace within. That is the effect of the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is that person also begins to sound an alarm whenever he or she is about to commit a sin. Such a fellow has a choice to either ignore this warning or take heed. If you are a child of God, I am sure you experience this whenever you are about to commit a sin. My advice is that you yield to His warning, because the Holy Spirit can be displaced from a person’s heart. If you often ignore His voice, you will soon realize that you cannot hear Him anymore. If you continue living in sin, He will leave and other spirits will take His place (Matthew 12:43-45). May you never experience this in Jesus’ Name.

Not only does the Holy Spirit help us to live a holy life, He also teaches and helps us to pray (Romans 8:26). Prayer is a way of communicating with our heavenly Father. If you don’t communicate often with your Father, your relationship with Him will become strained, and you will soon find yourself doing things that are contrary to His will. Hence, it is important to pray regularly. However, many Christians would rather talk about prayer than pray. The Holy Spirit always nudges us to pray. Whenever you feel this nudge, please go to a separate place and pray. Sometimes, it’s not that you don’t want to pray, you just don’t know what to say when you start. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in such moments. Lastly, what distinguishes our lives as Christians is the fruit of our character. The Holy Spirit influences our character through the manifestation of His fruit in our lives (Galatians 5:22-23). He helps us to live a life filled with love, joy, faith, patience, peace, gentleness, meekness and temperance. Consciously cultivate a relationship with Him and He will manifest more of His precious works in your life.

In this festive season, let the Holy Spirit guide your steps, speech, actions and motives.

In a new report this week, Forbes revealed that 8-year-old Ryan Kaji made a whopping $26 million off his YouTube videos this year. He started by reviewing and unboxing toys, but has since graduated to science experiments, according to the report. He even has a deal with Nickelodeon and Hulu.

But Kaji isn’t the only child with significant earnings on YouTube. Five-year-old Anastasia Radzinskaya made $18 million this year, according to Forbes data. She’s been able to amass that wealth by producing videos of her playing with her father. She also shares the videos in eight languages.

The Forbes findings point to just how much can be made by creators with compelling content–if they know how to monetize it. And, if nothing else, it suggests that children, especially, are interested in seeing other children playing online. And, if the Forbes data is accurate, there’s serious money to be made in this category.

But the findings also make clear that while it’s possible to make millions of dollars on YouTube, there are many more creators with channels that receive little or no interest. Simply putting up videos of your kid playing with toys or doing science experiments is no guarantee that the child will become the next big internet star.


What’s perhaps most interesting about the two children in this year’s Forbes list, however, is that they’ve also generated income outside of YouTube. They both have deals with major brands, and, in the case of Kaji, there’s even a branded line of clothing and toys for his fans to buy.

If you’re at all interested in starting your own online business, there’s no time like the present. We live in a golden age of wealth. As much as the media tries to glorify the perils of our society, we actually live in a time that’s ripe with opportunity and the potential for monumental business growth at a scale never before experienced. Thanks to the internet and smartphones, the amount of commerce being conducted online has experienced explosive growth.

If you’re at all scarcity-minded, it’s important to understand how much abundance exists today. Considering that virtually every brick-and-mortar store has made the transition to an online business, there’s certainly no shortage of competition. But there’s also plenty of so-called blue ocean. While most might make it out to seem like Amazon is the only company reaping the benefits of the eCommerce boom here, the growth is widespread and across every single sector in business.

The quickest route to becoming an entrepreneurial millionaire is not necessarily by making one product with a high-profit margin that flies off the shelves. you ideally should have multiple revenue streams in order to truly accumulate wealth.

Em Ducharme, founder of Zero to CEO, first started diversifying her income streams to cover various expenses. “I was able to be debt-free, able to save and invest in new income streams that were scalable and sustainable,” she explains. “Having multiple income streams removed the stress related to paying bills, and allowed me to focus on building longer-term avenues.”


In addition to making sure ancillary costs in your life or in your business expenses are covered, multiple revenue streams also work together to grow your bank account — once you start to build them out. Here are four ways to build multiple revenue streams for your business. Read more here>>http://www.successdigestonline.com/how-to-create-multiple-revenue-streams-for-your-business/

My advice — is to not always follow advice. Look inside yourself for your answers. I learned this lesson when I was an undergraduate at the University of California Berkeley and was trying to zero in on my major. I liked math, especially statistics, and wanted to pursue it more. I especially liked the way numbers had their own truth, the way they could tell a story. All that ended abruptly on the day that the dean unleashed his dose of professorial advice. I can’t remember his exact words, but the message was loud and clear: “Don’t major in statistics; you don’t have the grades; try something less demanding.” As a young woman, I believed this man — and abandoned all hopes of becoming a mathematician. Was he right or wrong about my abilities? Honestly, I don’t know (although I suspect he was wrong, given that I went on to have a successful career in finance). But I definitely know that he was wrong to discourage me from finding out. Yes, it’s smart to seek guidance from others who are in a position to know more than you do. And yes, it helps to consider different perspectives, ideas and points of view. But remember never to let anyone discourage you from pursuing something (or someone) that you love. Don’t let anyone trample your curiosity. Listen to yourself! Read more here>>http://www.successdigestonline.com/10-powerful-women-executives-share-how-to-thrive-as-a-leader/

With the holidays fast approaching, it’s time for businesses to solidify their seasonal promotions so they see an increase in sales. As reported by CNBC, holiday spending is expected to rise by 5 percent in 2019, and if your seasonal marketing strategy isn’t in place, you’ll miss out on the extra revenue.

Creating a seasonal promotion benefits your business for many reasons. For one, it brings more attention to your brand and furthers its reach. It also gives consumers another reason to shop with you versus your competitor if you offer a deal that’s too good to refuse.

Whether your goal is to boost sales, grow your email list or improve customer engagement, you can achieve these objectives during the fruitful holiday season with a solid campaign.

Here are three ways your brand can use a seasonal promotion this year to increase sales.

Use gamification.
People love to play games, so why not add those elements to your seasonal promotion? Gamification is fun and gives your audience something unique and interesting to focus on. If they associate joy and excitement with your brand, they’re more likely to move through the conversion funnel and make a purchase.

For example, Kirkland created a campaign called “Home For The Holidays” to give its customers an incentive to participate in their holiday sweepstakes. If customers answer the brand’s weekly poll question, they receive two entries into Kirkland’s sweepstakes where they have the chance to win prizes.

Having seen a multitude of leaders over a 30-plus year career, from uber-confident to the point of arrogance down to timid and unsure, I’ve developed an eye for what constitutes highly (but not unjustifiably) confident leaders and the behavioral traps they avoid. Here are the 14 behaviors the self-assured self-select out of.

1. They don’t seek attention and praise.
In fact, super-confident people seek opportunities to celebrate the success of others. And I’ve learned the more praise you give away, the more comes back to you.

2. They refuse to make excuses.
Excuses are an attempt to dodge accountability and blame. Confident people embrace accountability and don’t worry about being blamed. They own their mistakes and command respect accordingly. They don’t hide behind circumstances or lack of resources to justify not accomplishing something.

3. They aren’t defensive.
Defensiveness is just another form of blame-dodging, even worse than the above because it often involves not just avoiding blame, but redirecting and projecting it onto someone else. Confident people are open-minded about their mistakes and what they could have done better, thus avoiding the need to redirect anything to anyone.

4. They don’t avoid conflict.
Conflict brings, well, conflict, and the self-assured is sure-handed in dealing with tension. They even look forward to it, viewing it as a mechanism to quickly get past differences and disagreements to move towards resolution.

It's an exciting time to start a new business, but many people have unrealistic ideas about what it takes

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Over the years, many people have spoken to me about their business plans and marketing needs who are almost too early in their thinking to get started. While they may have an idea about what they want to sell, and to whom, they haven't clearly identified what will make them different enough to succeed. They think they can just jump on the bandwagon.

Many of the big success stories out there are also known as "disruptors" -- where, through technology and "out of the box" thinking, they invented ways of making people's lives easier and more convenient.

For example, Airbnb allowed people to find accommodation easily in their desired destinations and encouraged people who had spare space to use it and make money. Uber tapped into a population of people willing to drive people around for less and gave passengers a way to get around cheaper.

This gets a lot of people excited and thinking "that could be me!"

Yes, it's an exciting time to start a new business, but many people have unrealistic ideas about what it takes. They think they can just set up their new business and see the same success as these heavy hitters.

Confidence is great, but we need to be realistic here. There are so many good products and services out there, you need to be really clear how you're truly different. If you miss this important step, you'll get lost in the noise, never gain traction and ultimately -- fail!

So, how do you get started? Here are five steps to help you begin with the right mindset:

1. Create key messages.

Many people will say they are different but can you really stand by that? If you want to succeed in business, identifying what is different about your product and service will give you that much-needed edge. Write and refine three to five statements that clearly spell out how you're different from competitors. It's these small efforts that give you direction on how to position your business for optimum success.

2. Figure out your pricing.

People lose confidence in you if they ask about the price and your answer is flaky. Get specific and choose numbers that feel right. A typical fear is that you will quote too high and that will put them off. To work it out, you need three numbers.

First, calculate the lowest amount possible that you would charge for the work, then calculate what you think is fair for you and your experience, etc. On the higher end, identify the number that you think your competitors would charge for a similar product or service. Now you have three benchmarks to start with and can better assess what you feel is right for you. Start toward the lower/middle-end and gradually increase your pricing structure as your reputation grows.

Ways to earn customers loyalty online is by using the loyalty ladder concept. I want you to picture an ordinary ladder.

Now consider each rung of the ladder. Each "rung" is a "stage" of loyalty a customer may have. There are many different stages of loyalty customers demonstrate at each rung of the ladder:

Raving Fan
Devotee
Member
Customer
Shopper
Prospect
Suspect
Let's describe each of these in more detail.

Suspect: The suspect is the lowest rung on your ladder when a customer starts out on your loyalty ladder. This is when customers are at the very bottom of your ladder.

These are people who may or may not want or need what it is you sell. They may not have any money. They are simply people who are not buying.




Prospect: Prospects are suspects who have taken some sort of action like subscribing to your newsletter, giving you their email addresses or those who have asked you for some sort of free information.

They are people who may turn into active customers but aren't there yet.




Customer: A customer is anyone who has actually spent money with you. You have to differentiate between your prospects and your customers.

This is one of the reasons it is so damn important you segment your lists. You don't want to have everyone on ONE BIG list.

At the very least, you should have a prospect list and customer list. You should treat your prospects and customers very differently.

You should always give your customers more attention. Give them a better deal than everyone else. Why? They are already paying you for your products and services. Prospects are important, but customers are even more important.




Member: A member is someone who buys from you more than once. These are customers that now trust you. They feel they belong with you in some way.

Now listen up. Customers who make two purchases are 10 times more likely to make more than someone who makes only one purchase with you.

So anyone who is a member deserves special attention because if they buy twice, they are likely to buy again.




Devotee: What's the difference between a devotee and a member? A devotee is someone who not only buys from you but tells other people about you.

They send you referrals. They promote you actively. They are happy to be your free sales force because they get so much value from you.




Raving Fan: The next stage in the ladder is Raving Fans. Usually, only 1% to 5% of your customers become Raving Fans. They're one of your most valuable assets.

They pretty much own everything you have. And, whatever new products and service you come up with, they will buy without blinking an eye.

The Raving Fan will stick with you for years as long as you don't screw up in a major way.

There are a very strong trust and bond with you and the Raving Fans. They trust you 100%. They want to see you succeed. They want to see you do well.

If a devotee is someone who sells for you, a Raving Fan is someone who can't STOP selling for you. Raving Fans tell everyone about how fantastic you are. They talk about your company. They love you.

These days it's more expensive than ever to get a new customer. Most businesses, in fact, are acquiring their customers at a loss or break-even point.

That means you have to get your customers to come back to you and buy again and again.

Why? That customer isn't simply profitable to you. They are your most important resource. What you want, what you need is as many raving fans as you can get.

You will succeed when you sort your prospects from suspects, move people up from prospects to customers, from customers to raving fans.

You need to have a marketing system that automatically moves people up the loyalty ladder as quickly as humanly possible.

As an online marketer, it is important for you to know how to sell your products online. Most of us have a lot of products we sell online.



We use the best copyright on our sales letters and put all our ducks in a row right down to getting the visitors to our page to buy.

We think we have thought everything out to the last nut and bolt, but have we really?… What about the product itself.

Is there a demand for the product?… Is the market saturated with the product?… Is there a special group of people who want this product that will benefit?… and where are they?

Any good marketer who is out to make money should know the answers to these questions before you even consider investing time and money into promoting the product…Unless you like losing money!

Getting a product ready to sell is the easy part. If I had a dollar for every product sales letter I had with a marketing campaign in mind I would be a millionaire without even batting an eye.

The fact is that the final, most important goal a marketer has, is to get people to buy the product.
Before you start your niche, nurture the idea and know who wants your product…How do you do that you say? Simple as pie…just ask!

Start a survey, run a poll, check-in forums or where people group that need this product.
Forums are really a good way to find out what people want and will solve their problems. Start by finding a forum related to your niche, read previous posts, then bring up the topic of your product without trying to sell to the forum members, to see what response you get and try to keep the topic alive.

Think of a time when you’ve felt frustrated, anxious, afraid, angry or heartbroken. It’s a not a place anyone wants to remain because these feelings are uncomfortable. While it’s not possible to avoid negative states of mind entirely, some people are better than others at identifying what’s going on in their own head, processing their emotions and then moving on. Here are several ways mentally strong people conduct themselves.


1. They don’t ruminate
It’s when you revisit something that bothers you, thinking about it over and over again. Mentally strong people go to the source, fix the problem if possible and then stop stewing about it. They know that continually rehashing any situation is a waste of time.

2. They give strangers the benefit of the doubt
Spend enough time out in the world and you’ll encounter people who do things you wouldn’t – driving, speaking or otherwise behaving badly. But there’s always a back story you’re not privy to. Maybe the guy who cut you off in traffic is trying to get to the hospital where a loved one is sick, giving birth or about to die. Mentally strong people don’t let themselves get annoyed with the imperfections of others.


3. They practice and hone their willpower

I recently had the opportunity to chat with an expert on the subject of personal branding. His name is Dmitriy Kozlov and he is the Chief Expression Officer of Influex.com. Kozlov is in the business of creating personal brand websites. He shared his biggest secrets to creating a powerful, personal brand for yourself (he’s also responsible for creating my personal website) and an asset you can leverage for all your future activities.

Kozlov has been in the branding business for 10 years with Influex, a word he invented that combines the words “influence” and “expression.” Influence refers to marketing and everything that influences your audience, and expression refers to the art and beauty – who you are at your core essence and bringing it forth to the world in an elegant way. Kozlov believes that your greatest influence comes through your fullest expression.

When Kozlov was in college, he built his own personal brand website. It was a simple WordPress blog, but people liked it enough that they started paying him to build their websites. Fast forward to July 2014, and he was running a web development agency that builds branding sites for internet marketers. One of Kozlov’s early breaks came when renowned marketer, Mike Dillard asked him to build his personal brand site Kozlov dove in, did a great job, and produced what would become one of the first epic personal brand sites. Dillard shared it with his audience of 400,000 people and soon leads started flooding in asking Kozlov to build their sites.

Email marketing is one of the most effective tools we have at our disposal when trying to reach our target audiences. Despite the advances in social media and instant messaging, email still has the highest conversion rate.

A study from Shopify looked at $1 billion in sales during the holiday season and found that email has a conversion rate of 4.29 percent. Compare that statistic with a 1.81 percent conversion rate on social media and 2.93 percent when it comes to direct traffic, and it’s easy to see why marketers focus on email marketing.

Segmenting your email list can help you grow your email marketing campaign by increasing your subscribers and boosting your sales. In essence, list segmentation is the act of taking your existing leads and dividing them into smaller groups, also called segments. Each segment has aligned interests, goals and pain points. You can use this data to improve your campaigns and engage with more subscribers. Read more here>>http://www.successdigestonline.com/how-to-segment-your-lead-list-like-a-pro/
