Hi guys, a quick intro to one of the plug-ins, sorry, websites that I just
recently came across which is super awesome for your emails. So I'm gonna
share my screen with you, so you're gonna have a little bit of a look
here. Now I've got MailChimp open, that's not it, but it is gonna come back into
the Mailchimp program in a minute. The name of this is motionmailapp.com.
yeah? motionmailapp.com, remember that.
So we're gonna go to Motion Mail and we're gonna create a timer, so just down here.
It's just MotionMailApp.com - if
click on 'Create a Timer', it will take you through the process of logging in. You
can select the Basic Plan and try and do it on the Basic Plan. I actually have
upgraded my version to the $10 a month version, quite simply because I didn't
want the branded content. But if you're just like starting out with this guys,
there's no reason why you can't use the free plan, it's fine. So I'm on the
Bootstrap plan, it's just automatically logged me in. If you don't have an
account yet, don't worry, just like use... put your username and your details
in, create a password and it's just like a regular login process, super simple to
follow. So what I'm gonna do here is I'm actually gonna create a new timer yep, so
I can just click here, or I can click over here.
So I'm gonna create a new timer, as you can see I've got two timers there, and I can select whichever
one I want. I'm just gonna select this one because I like the look of it and
I'm gonna call the timer name whatever, let's just call it test. And then, this is
important, so this is gonna be the date that's gonna be the deadline for my
course, so this is gonna be the last date for my course that people can enroll.
Does that make sense? So in the live launch cycle, I run through a three week/
four week process, but basically each month I'm releasing my product to the
public, I'm launching it and then I'm closing enrollments. Now, when I get a bit
more volume on my products, I might change that to like
three months, and it's really just so that: number one - I can service my clients
a bit better. So that I'm not having too many people like in that launch, but it
also helps to create that deadline, that sense of urgency with the product having
an end launch date. So I highly recommend that this is how we launch it. So I'm
just gonna choose an end date, so in this case let's make it say the 30th of
September, and the time I can make it whatever time I want, but like let's just
choose the current time, that's fine. And the time zone is gonna be whichever
your time zone is, so that's my time zone there, so I'm going to click that in and
then language - it's English. And now we can have the design-- I'm just gonna
leave this as is, but you can basically have a solid color, you can have a
background color as well. Let's just make the background color, like I could make a
pink if I want. And so if I scroll down here I can actually see the information.
So I'm gonna change my text color to black just so it will stand out a little
bit better. It just takes a little while to upload and update this. Yeah, so can
you guys see that? And actually I prefer the white
background, I don't know about you guys. But yeah, you can play around with what
you think looks good - there's so many different ways you can do it, so that
would just be a simple one. And so I'm gonna save that timer, so let's just
click on "Save this timer!" Right. And so now it's taken me to a new
page and this is the important thing we need here, just right here you can see
this bit here, okay? So all we need to do, we're gonna copy this, right?
Yep, now simple, simple, simple. 'Click here to learn how to add our
embed code into your email' - we're gonna click on that guys, and there's the full
instructions depending on which email provider you're using. I'm using
MailChimp and it literally talks you through how to use MailChimp, but this is
simple in MailChimp. I'm sure on some of the others there might be a few other
things to do, but you've got all of the lists here, okay, you've got all of the
information you need. So I'm gonna go back to my MailChimp and I'm gonna go to
one of my campaigns, so let's just go to this campaign here. Look, let's go to my
Live Launch Sequence, 'cause that would be the campaign we're gonna use this
on the most. And so, in some of those live launch
sequence emails you will see that there is like the deadline-driven urgency and we're
saying "This is when the course date is gonna end guys", "This is when it's like
the last chance to actually enroll in this course". So with that, what we're
gonna do and like, I'll just use this one as an example. I'm gonna click into
the 'Design email'.
Don't click 'Delete email' by accident, that's not good. Right, so here we are,
we've got the design of the email and guess what? I'm gonna put in, just right
here, I have this little thing called "code" and so I can pop this code wherever I
want. I'm gonna put it at the end of the email, because that's where it would usually
go, yeah? Scrolling down, scrolling, scrolling, right.
So I'm gonna put it at the end of what my text is right there, yeah. And can you
see here it says: 'Use your own custom HTML' and all I have to do in here,
'cause I've already copied that custom HTML, I'm just gonna select that and I'm
gonna click Ctrl + Paste, yeah and whoopty-doo,
have a little looksie at that. How good does that look guys, yeah? I'm gonna save
and close and there we go. So on the bottom of my email, super, super easy, I
can actually probably from here also center it and do a whole bunch of things,
but I've got my actual countdown there. And if you have a look at that, it's like
until the 30th September right now it's 38 days 23 hours 55 minutes 46 seconds
and you can actually see that countdown, you can see that timer, so you know it's
a real day. And so, this is really awesome when you are launching your deal to the
public and you have a specific date in mind, it's super for that and so that's
how we want to do it. And then from there just obviously to exit, we're just going
to save and continue. I hope that makes sense guys and I'm just gonna stop the share
now. If you have any questions about this please feel free to email me, but it is a
great little tool and so easy to use. So yeah, enjoy using it and give me your
feedback on what you think. Thanks guys.
