I had to share this with you!
When it comes to user experience, going from opt-in to thank you page to email can be clunky.
Sometimes they never actually see the email and completely forget about you.
Sometimes the email ends up in spam or sponsored.
I’m a big fan of delivering what you promised right away, on the next page for example.
But if you require them to go to their inbox, here is a cool way to streamline the journey for them.
It only works for Gmail users, but nowadays that’s most people.
Here’s how you do it
You’ll create a link on the thank you page like this:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#search/
from%3A%40[insertyourdomain]+in%3Aanywhere
Here’s mine.
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#search/from%3A%40myheartfunnel.com+in%3Aanywhere
Then add the link wherever.
Like this.
This link will take you to your Gmail inbox
and search my email
It will open up a new window in their Gmail inbox and automatically search your domain, which will pull up the first and only email from you (if they’re new subscribers).
How cool is that!
