I’m very happy and proud to announce that I started a blog! Friends of Email

It’s a spanish blog for LATAM #emailgeeks where I’ll talk about email, code and mktAutomation. It’s been my wish since a long time to start it, and it’s finally coming together.https://t.co/IxguUsnwkt

Just a friendly reminder that 99% of marketers whose success relies on email don’t go to email conferences, don’t call themselves #emailgeeks, don’t use more than a few basic features in their ESP, have never touched email HTML, don’t understand deliverability, etc. etc. etc.

Someone reached out to me about a job, and this was a part of the description:

“Solely own cold email outreach, including sending 1m+ emails per month to cold prospects.”

I can’t imagine something that’s a harder pass than this for any email marketer.
