Using Email Headers To Verify An Email's Authenticity And The Future Of DMARC
Authentication protocols establish the identity of an email
"When someone receives and opens an email, they see the parts of the message that most people care about.
In addition to the message content (the body), the recipient will typically see a few header fields, such as From:, To:, Subject:, and Date: that convey basic information about the claimed origin and topic of the message.
Those headers represent just a small fraction of the headers that are part of the message.
- The best email hosting providers
- The 30 most-asked email questions answered!
- Best email clients: Free and paid apps and software
The method for making hidden headers visible will differ depending on the mailbox provider. In Gmail, you can access the email header by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner of a message and then 'Show Original'..."

3 AI SEO Tools To Help You Beat The Competition
In this video, we're going to be taking a look at three awesome AI-driven SEO tools that can help you beat your competition and, honestly, scale a whole lot faster.
"These are tools that we use all the time here at our agency. I love these tools, I use them personally, myself, not just my team, but I use these tools on an ongoing basis as well. I'm going to walk you through the pros and cons of them and then some ways that you can actually leverage these tools.
Before we get into that, let's talk a little bit about why we should be leveraging AI, artificial intelligence for SEO. Artificial intelligence is great for tasks that are repeatable and time-consuming. Over the last few years, AI has made major strides in helping us speed up these types of repeatable tasks, these tasks that you do over and over and over. So if you're crunched for time, maybe you're a smaller team, even if you're on a large team, why not leverage a tool that's going to make your life easier?..."

In Growth Marketing, Signal Determines Success
Unlike a weak phone signal solely causing a grainy sound, in growth marketing, it can mean the difference between a successful program or a massive cash bleed.
"As we move toward an increasingly privacy-centric world, it is even more necessary for companies to nail down signal early on.
So what exactly is 'signal' in growth marketing? It can carry many different meanings, but holistically speaking, it's the event data in our arsenal to help guide decisions. When it comes to paid acquisition, it's vital to optimize and pass back the correct event data to paid channels. This is so that targeting and bidding algorithms have the most enriched data to utilize.
I've seen startups spend thousands of dollars inefficiently as a result of not having optimal signal in their paid acquisition campaigns. I've also spent millions at companies such as Postmates refining our signal to the best possible state. I'd like every startup to avoid the painful mistake of not having this set up correctly, instead making the most of every important ad dollar..."

3 Hooks Guaranteed To Increase Customer Email Open Rates
If you're an email marketer, you know that to be an effective email marketer is to be a salesperson, copywriter, and creative director all at once. However, from a consumer's perspective, email marketing is often seen as one of the more annoying branches on the great tree of marketing.
"
It doesn't have to be this way. Email marketing should be a mutually beneficial exchange between a brand and those that are interested in what the brand has to offer. I'm not sure exactly when, but somewhere in the universality of ecommerce, marketers lost their way.
Ideally, great email marketing is when those on your mailing lists anticipate your email instead of marking it as spam or sending it to their trash bin as soon as they see the subject line and your brand's name adjacent to it.
As marketers, it's time we transcend what people think about email marketing. Here are three efficient tactics to do just that, which will result in increased open rates, and better yet, more satisfied consumers which equal a favorable brand attitude..."

"You must pay attention the data points that matter!
Long gone are the days when digital marketing was based on gut feel and what looked good. The industry knows data is critical to a successful strategy. The hard thing is knowing which data points to pay attention to - separating the signal from the noise.
With so much of marketing being quantifiable nowadays, it can be easy to get lost analyzing the wrong data and wasting time which could be better spent elsewhere. Preparing a comprehensive marketing plan before you close on your priorities for 2022 can save you some of these troubles..."

Accessibility Testing Tools: Top Options For Marketing Teams
Empathy is one of the most important tools in a marketer's toolkit. When you design email campaigns and other digital marketing content with accessibility in mind, you're putting empathy and inclusion into action
"Being empathetic means imagining yourself in someone else's shoes. Sometimes that's easier said than done. How can you be sure you're designing and developing accessible emails?
Accessibility testing is the process of examining digital content including web pages, emails, and user interfaces (UIs) to ensure people with various disabilities are able to use and interact with the content. Email accessibility testing reveals how marketers can improve their campaigns and email templates so that every subscriber has the opportunity to engage with what you're sending them..."

How To Develop A Content Strategy To Drive Revenue (+ Examples)
How much do you know about content marketing? While some people are masters of the craft, others believe in the misguided notion that inserting a couple of keywords into well written content is enough
"That may have worked a couple of years ago, but it's now as effective as trying to raise revenue by installing a payphone at your property.
If you want to be successful in content marketing - really, truly successful - you need more than just a handful of keywords and the will to succeed.
You need a documented content marketing strategy.
Most enterprises don't start out with a content marketing strategy in place before they go to town posting on their blog. Instead, they pursue an ad hoc approach and hope for the best..."

'But We're Making Our Number...'
Recently, I had an interesting conversation with an executive. It was a large organization. By most measures, it was extremely successful
But the executive was uncomfortable. As we peeled back his concerns and started looking at the data, we discovered some interesting things:
- Sales/revenues had been growing very nicely.
- But win rates were in the 20-25% range for qualified opportunities. Interestingly, this was driven less by losing to competition, but more by customers just getting lost in their buying journey.
- Average deal values were pretty consistent. Renewals, retention were OK, but accounts weren't growing as much as the exec thought they should.
- The company had 4 major product lines, but 70% of the revenue was coming from one.
- Account plans were pretty weak, sales people focused on retention/renewal. They could make their numbers off that.
- New customer acquisition was pretty good, lots of inbound interest.
- About 85% of the people were making their numbers.
On the surface, it looked great. There was an attitude among many in the organization, 'Why change, we are making our numbers, things are great!'

5 Things You Need To Win Your First Customer
A startup is a beautiful thing. It's the tangible outcome of an idea birthed in a garage or on the back of a napkin. But ask any founder what really proves their startup has taken off, and they will almost instantly say it's when they win their first customer.
"That's easier said than done, though, because winning that first customer will take a lot more than an Ivy-educated founder and/or a celebrity investor pool.
To begin with, you'll have to craft a strong ideal customer profile to know your customer's pain points, while developing a competitive SWOT analysis to scope out alternatives your customers can go to.
You'll also need to create a shortlist of influencers who have your customer's trust, identify their decision-makers who make the call to buy (or not), and create a mapped list of goals that align your customer's goals to yours..."
