Do not validate the email list, before start to send. Or worst yet, don't validate the form where you get email addresses.

@ivarsmas Right! Validating email lists and forms is crucial to ensure quality engagement and avoid sending to invalid addresses!

not applying the Marketing Consent = TRUE filter :S

Yeah definitely validate those emails! Also super important to follow best practices like only emailing people who've opted in, personalizing content, and making it easy to unsubscribe. Tools like Mailchimp or Sendgrid can help automate the process while staying compliant.

I think it's crucial to review and clean up your list to avoid this.

The most common mistake I've seen is, people think with the mindset that "I'll send it to XYZX, so that I can get X at least", think more in-line with, "would I click this if I received it randomly in inbox if I was a target customer? would I click on CTA or fill this if I was in receivers shoes?" This perspective will allow to solve the fundamentals which most miss.

@chandan_jadhav Absolutely! Shifting to a recipient's perspective is vital for creating impactful emails. When we consider whether we would engage with the content as if we were the target customer, it helps us address the fundamentals that many overlook.

I always make sure to send a test email to myself now to check for any mistakes before it goes out to my whole audience.

Overusing automation. While automation can save time, overusing it can lead to impersonal and irrelevant emails that can annoy subscribers.

@beautyrr_ Exactly! Overusing automation can make emails feel impersonal and lose subscriber interest. Balance is key!
