You'll learn what to write and when to send it
You are going to learn what you can do instead of sending boring email newsletters that never get opened, take a ton of time, and give you a ton of anxiety. Pat will teach you exactly what emails to send, to whom, and at what time. to help you get more engagement and eventually sales.
Instead of worrying about unsubscribes and people who complain about you sending emails, you're going to know what emails to send and actually get thanked for sending them!
Go beyond the basics
Pat takes you beyond the basics of email marketing. You will create masterful campaigns to collect more leads and see massive spikes in your reporting data. We hope that's cool with you. 😀
You will gain a professional-level understanding of who is on your list, and how to talk directly to them instead of just “blasting” messages to everyone.
You will learn what tools play a part in email marketing success, and Pat will show you step-by-step why they are important and how to use them.
Clear action items set you up for success
Have you ever taken a course that has lots of great information, but at the end of it you don't know what you're supposed to do with all that great information?
This is not one of those courses.
At the end of each lesson, Pat gives you a very clear, very manageable action item—your assignment for the lesson. This makes sure that you are making steady, ongoing progress and that you start seeing results right away.
Learn to Use ConvertKit
ConvertKit is my favorite email service provider because it strikes a balance between being easy to use while still giving its users access to powerful automation. All step-by-step videos in the course use ConvertKit. You don't have to use ConvertKit to succeed with this course, but it is who we recommend.
Here’s How Email Marketing Magic will help you
You'll start from the beginning
We start from the beginning to set you up for success. Even if you have an email list already, most people overlook some key items that affect how emails show up in people’s inboxes (or even if they show up at all).
You don't have to be a great writer
If you’re not a great writer, I’ve got you. I’ve included all kinds of email templates that you can use in different parts of your business. Just copy and paste so that you can move on.
Easy to follow videos
I walk you through the entire process with step-by-step videos so that even if you’re the most technologically challenged person in the world, you’ll be able to get things done. This course is done at your own pace, but I do push you (in a friendly way!) just enough.
Learn what makes your audience happy
Instead of worrying about unsubscribes and people who complain, you’ll learn how to send emails your audience actually WANTS to read, even if you’re selling something.
Focus on simplicity over complication
Simple. Simple. Simple. I’m all about keeping things simple. Email marketing can turn into a giant complicated nightmare, but that does no one any good. I help you leverage the strategies with the biggest ROI with the least amount of overwhelm. This isn’t push-button easy (if it were, you’d have it all figured out already), but I simplify and reduce the overwhelm as much as possible so that you can finally take action and make emails work for you.
You don't have to go it alone
Along with instant access to your course materials, you also get access to a community of other students, as well as access to me during office hours once a week, all for no additional recurring payments.
Advice that grows with you
As your business expands, you can venture into the more advanced areas of the course to help you take growth, monetization and automation to new levels.

Meet Your Course Guide
Hi, I’m Pat Flynn.
If you’re an entrepreneur, podcaster, YouTuber, blogger, course instructor, consultant, coach, author or any other creator who is building an audience, I can help.
Ever since I was let go from my architecture job in 2008, I’ve run my own businesses, and it didn’t take long for me to realize just how important email marketing was to the equation of building a successful business.
In fact, I’ve gotten to become so obsessed with email, that I actually became an advisor to an email marketing company, ConvertKit, in 2014. Since then, it’s become an even bigger focus of mine, and on SmartPassiveIncome.com, it’s no longer just me - I have a whole team of people whose focus is delivering value through email so that we can help the most people possible.
I’ve generated a few million dollars online since 2008, and I can safely say that email marketing has had to do with almost all of that income. I’m excited to share with you what works, and what doesn’t, and help you finally get a grasp on this thing that most people try to avoid. It can make all the difference.
