Your Nurture Series
The Nurture Sequence does just that....It starts to build an honest relationship with your subscribers and nurture them closer to you and your value
A nurture series is an automated series of emails that someone receives when they opt-in to receive your emails.
You’ve just returned from an energetic networking event and you have a stack of business cards for folks who have let you know that they’re interested in learning more about you, the services you provide, the products you offer.
The automated nurture sequence is a powerful method to start to build trust with your new contacts and help you to nurture your relationship with them.
Is it easy to do?
Well, honestly – I can tell you that it is ‘simple’ to do, but not necessarily ‘easy’ until you are clear on exactly what you can offer to your new contacts. Then, it’s easy. Super easy. Set-it-and-forget-it easy.
Here are the 5 steps to consider for your nurture sequence:
1: DECIDE ON THE LENGTH OF YOUR EMAIL NURTURE SERIES:
Your email nurture series will be 3-5 emails long, at a minimum. But, really, it will depend on your reader and how long it takes for you to communicate all the messages that you want to get across to them to develop the know-like-trust.
2: PLAN YOUR WELCOME EMAIL:
This is the most important email in the series. It will be the one with the highest open rate. Communicate with integrity, using your personality, highlighting the value that you will be providing throughout the sequence.
3: PLAN WHAT TO INCLUDE IN THE REST OF YOUR EMAIL NURTURE SERIES:
Now is the time to think about how you can start to get your audience to trust you. Perhaps you’ll be sending links to your most popular blog post or video content, or maybe you’ll add other valuable nuggets – freebies – such as a checklist along the way.
4: AUTOMATE AND TEST YOUR EMAIL NURTURE SERIES:
Automate your email nurture sequence. Make sure to do a test send to make sure that it’s all working. Check all the links and the list segments.
5: MEASURE THE RESULTS AND ADJUST AS NEEDED:
Review the opens, click-throughs, responses to each of the nurture series elements to make adjustments as needed. Make real-time connections with your contacts to gather feedback on the series to always be improving.

Something to consider…..
Should you SELL to people in your email nurture series?
This is up to you. If you have a product that is related to the freebie they downloaded, by all means, include a sales pitch in the last email of your nurture sequence. Or, if you offer them a free consultation call, then tell them about this.
