Even if email does often feel old-fashioned, you’ve probably heard that there is still quite a lot of hype around it. In fact, it’s still a major source of income for many companies (us here at Fupping included).
You’ve no doubt heard the astounding numbers some gurus tout. Well, you might not hit those highs, but here are 7 books that you should read to supercharge your email marketing strategy.
#1 The Conversion Code by Chris Smith
This book is not just about email marketing but about the whole conversion funnel from capturing leads to closing the sale. A big part of the book is obviously about email marketing. It's really great because Chris Smith offers very technical and actionable advice down to which services he uses for certain tasks. This book would also work for your query on books for video marketing. It's great because it is literally step by step by step through all of online marketing and sales. He also includes how to close calls over the phone.
