How we generate 40% revenue from email
(so simple you can do it in 30 days or less)
Hey, Michael from AdSumo Digital here.
Want to know the biggest lie in ecommerce email marketing?
"It's complicated."
Every week I watch brands:
Create 47 different segments
Build complex automation flows
Obsess over advanced tactics
Chase the latest "growth hacks"
Meanwhile, we just drove over $5 million in sales using only THREE core strategies.
That's it.
No complicated segmentation.
No fancy automation.
No 47-step workflows.
Just three fundamentals executed extremely well.
Let me show you what happens when you finally strip away all the complexity:
1. A pop-up strategy that actually converts
Most brands convert 2-3% of visitors into subscribers.
Our best-performing client? 16% conversion rate.
That's not a typo.
For one brand, we:
Added 14,700 email subscribers (185% increase)
Grew SMS from 17 to 8,301 subscribers (yes, really)
Built a money-printing machine they own forever
2. Core flows that generate consistent revenue
Just last month:
One abandoned cart flow: $32,625
Total flow revenue: $122,000
From just 5 simple automations
Not 37 different flows. Just 5 that generate 80% of automation revenue.
3. Campaigns that people actually read
We consistently generate $15,000-$20,000 per campaign for one client.
How?
2-4 campaigns per week
Valuable, skimmable content
Clear calls to action
That's it.
Want to implement this yourself?
Here's exactly what to do:
1. Fix Your Pop-up Strategy
The "Trojan Horse" Method:
Start with yes/no question
Ask for email/SMS only after "yes"
Show reward immediately
Trigger at 10 seconds on desktop, 80% scroll on mobile
2. Set Up Money-Making Flows
Focus on these 5:
Welcome: Build trust, drive first purchase
Browse abandonment: Reference specific products
Cart abandonment: Our $32k/month performer
Checkout abandonment: Highest intent recovery
Post-purchase: Set up next sale
Key principle: Make flows LONGER (40+ emails deep). They keep making money.
3. Nail Your Campaigns
Our framework:
Send 2-4x per week
One clear call to action
Mix promotional and content
Stay consistent with timing
We consistently generate $15k-$20k per campaign using this exact approach.
The Math Is Simple:
Email marketing generates $35-40 for every $1 spent.
We've driven over $5M in sales using these exact principles.
Plus:
You own your list forever
No algorithm changes can touch you
No risk of account suspension
Direct access to your customers
Look, at the end of the day, email marketing success comes from doing the basics extremely well, not from implementing complicated strategies.
Stop overcomplicating it.
Focus on these three fundamentals.
Execute them well.
Watch the millions roll in.
