OPERATIONS DIVISION Captain Cheryllynn Williams

In 2017, there were 41,344, incidents in Sangamon County where deputies either initiated a law enforcement service or were dispatched to a call.

There was a lot of movement in the operations division in 2017. In April, Will Brooks, Jordan Cox, and Ryan Kuntzi were hired as a Sangamon County Deputies. Deputy Brooks began the Field Training Program immediately due to prior law enforcement training, and Deputies Cox and Kuntzi began the Illinois State Police Recruit Class. Sergeant Andy Danes was transferred from second shift to the Investigations Division in August. Detective Nancy Finley was promoted to Sergeant and transferred to second shift. Deputy Travis Dalby was transferred from second shift to Crime Prevention in March. Deputy Andrew Brashear was transferred from first shift to the Investigations Division in November.

In June, Deputy Knox retired after 25 years of service. His humor and kindness will be missed.

NYmag JEFF SESSIONS 4:52 P.M.Attorney General Jeff Sessions Resigns at Trump’s RequestBy Eric Levitz@EricLevitz Out of Session. Photo: Pat Greenhouse/Boston Globe via Getty Images

Jeff Sessions has tendered his resignation, at the president’s request. Less than 24 hours after the 2018 midterms drew to a close, Donald Trump has forced his first attorney general out of his administration, clearing the way for a man who has publicly accused Robert Mueller of taking the Russia investigation “too far” — and mused that a new attorney general could thwart his probe by denying it funding — to become the Justice Department’s interim leader.

We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States. He will serve our Country well....

....We thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his service, and wish him well! A permanent replacement will be nominated at a later date.

As a member of Trump’s 2016 campaign, Sessions was forced to recuse himself from the Justice Department’s investigation of ties between that campaign and the Russian government. The president has long decried Sessions for refusing to subordinate this ethical obligation to his (imaginary) duty to immunize the commander-in-chief from legal liabilities. But Matthew Whitaker has no conflict of interest in the Russia case. And although he will not (immediately) inherit direct supervision of the Mueller investigation, he will have the power to seal records, withhold funding, and disrupt the probe by other means — as Whitaker himself once explained in his capacity as a CNN talking head:

Appearing on CNN in July 2017 — before he was in his current position as Sessions’s chief of staff —

Whitaker mused about a scenario in which Trump might fire Sessions and replace him with a temporary attorney general.

Whitaker noted that federal regulations still gave the attorney general power over the budget for a special counsel.

That temporary replacement,

he then said,

could move to choke off Mueller’s funding.

“So I could see a scenario where Jeff Sessions is replaced with a recess appointment,” Whitaker said, “and that attorney general doesn’t fire Bob Mueller, but he just reduces his budget to so low that his investigation grinds to almost a halt.”

Whitaker is a former U.S. Attorney and 2014 Senate candidate in Iowa who joined the Justice Department last fall. Here are a few other things that he has publicly claimed to believe:

• Robert Mueller has no legitimate authority to investigate the Trump Organization’s finances, and if he does (which, he has), “then this would raise serious concerns that the special counsel’s investigation was a mere witch hunt.”

• Donald Trump was right to fire James Comey — because James Comey should have prosecuted Hillary Clinton:

Comey’s announcement last July that he would not recommend prosecution of Hillary Clinton for violations of the Espionage Act were a shock to many in law enforcement both inside the FBI and out…[H]is pronouncement that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring such a case was just wrong, and I said so publicly at the time. I was a federal prosecutor for five years and was proud to serve in the Department of Justice, and I would’ve brought that case.

Clinton set up an entire secret, unsecured communications structure outside of the government she was charged with serving at the highest level; she was the Secretary of State. Classified information that, in the wrong hands, could potentially bring harm to our country – and many in service to our country — was available to be appropriated.

(Whitaker has never called for any investigations into — let alone prosecutions of — the Trump administration’s many, many, many violations of information security protocol.)

• All federal judges should be “people of faith” who take “a biblical view of justice.”

• There shouldn’t have been an independent counsel’s investigation into Russian interference because there wasn’t such an investigation into the Obama administration’s many scandals:

Calls for an independent counsel or commission to investigate allegations that Russia tried to interfere with our elections ring hollow when similar calls for special counsels during the scandals of the Obama administration were dismissed out of hand by the same people making these demands now.

So, clearly, Matthew Whitaker would make a sober, fair-minded, and trustworthy overseer of the Justice Department’s transformation into Donald J. Trump’s private detective agency.

Cory Booker’s 911 CallsBy

ROB LONG

September 13, 2018 10:49 AM

Sen. Cory Booker at a Senate Judiciary hearing, March 2018 (Joshua Roberts/Reuters)

Tuesday

Start Call

911 Operator: This is the 911 operator, what is your emergency?

Cory Booker: This is Senator Cory Booker. I want to report a crime. No, wait, a series of crimes. I want to report nothing less than an entire criminal enterprise that has the tri-state area in its grip.

911 Operator: Sir, is this an emergency?

Cory Booker: I can’t believe you’re asking me that question. Is it an emergency? Yes!

911 Operator: Sir, what is your location?

Cory Booker: I understand why you’re asking that question. That’s the procedure, right? The rules and regulations of the whole 911 power dynamic. But you have to understand. I am in danger here. My life is in danger, just by dropping this stunning bombshell. I am exposing a vast and violent criminal organization — I call it “organized crime,” and sidebar: If you use that phrase please credit me — and despite the danger — and I’ll admit it, the fear — of paying the ultimate price, I am willing to stand up and speak the truth.

NOW WATCH: 'Trump Supporters Fired Up For Midterms

911 Operator: Sir, is this an emergency?

Cory Booker: There is an organized group of criminals in the tri-state area, some call it “the Mafia,” and they control illegal activities such as gambling, prostitution, drug peddling — though to be fair, one of the heads of the so-called “Five Families” has resisted entering into this arena — and they are about to move west, to the sleepy cowboy town of Las Vegas, Nevada — are you writing this down?

911 Operator: Sir, is this an emergency?

Cory Booker: Well, it’s not an emergency emergency.

911 Operator: The 911 line is reserved for actual emergencies, sir.

End Call

Thursday

Start Call

911 Operator: This is the 911 operator, what is your emergency?

Cory Booker: This is Senator Cory Booker. I have reason to believe that the class of medications known as “opioids” are currently being abused throughout the country, with special concentration in post-industrial areas in the Rust Belt and the Appalachian Valley.

911 Operator: Sir, is this an emergency?

Cory Booker: People don’t want to talk about it. It’s something you don’t hear about. Maybe because the people currently suffering under the crisis — and yes, I call it a “crisis” and I’m aware that fashionable pundits will call me crazy or delusional — but because the victims of this crisis are poor and working-class, the entire problem is being ignored and swept under the rug. No longer!

911 Operator: Again, sir, is this an emergency?

Cory Booker: You’re not listening. I am going to blow the lid off this thing! Consequences be damned!

End Call

Sunday

Start Call

911 Operator: This is the 911 operator, what is your emergency?

Cory Booker: This is Senator Cory Booker. I want to report that the Twin Towers in Manhattan’s downtown financial district have been struck by what appear to be two passenger jets that have been hijacked by terrorists.

911 Operator: Sir, what is your current location?

Cory Booker: It doesn’t matter where I am, don’t you see? The point is, the buildings are burning. And I am racing there to rescue whoever I can.

911 Operator: Sir, are you reporting a current fire emergency?

Cory Booker: Will I be in personal danger? Yeah, sure, I guess. Does that matter to me? Are you kidding? I don’t even think that way. I am going to run into those burning buildings and save every life I can, and if people call me “hero” or “brave,” so be it.

911 Operator: Sir, please give me your current location and the location of the emergency.

Cory Booker: Downtown Manhattan. Twin Towers.

911 Operator: Sir, the Twin Towers were destroyed 17 years ago. Currently at that location is what is called the Freedom Tower, a high-end retail mall, and a moving memorial to the victims of the terror attack and the first responders who lost their lives during the rescue.

Cory Booker: Yes. Yes, I knew that. But I don’t think any of that lessens my personal heroism. And if I could just add, at this juncture —

End Call

Monday

Start Call

911 Operator: This is the 911 operator, what is your emergency? Wait a minute. Is this Cory Booker?

Cory Booker: Maybe. Why do you ask?

911 Operator: Sir, you have been asked to stop making 911 calls.

Cory Booker: Can I just — this one — I’m serious about this one — look, I know, okay, that sometimes I’ve been a little late with some of this stuff —

911 Operator: Sir, there are emergencies waiting to —

Cory Booker: Can I finish? Seriously. This is a real one.

911 Operator: Okay. Fine. What is your emergency?

Cory Booker: Tropical Storm Katrina is building into a Category 5 hurricane off the Gulf Coast. If it hits the levees along Lake Pontchartrain, just above New Orleans’ Ninth Ward —

911 Operator: Sir, stop.

Cory Booker: I am heading down there to personally reinforce those levees and save the city.

911 Operator: Stop.

Cory Booker: Is my life in danger? Yes. Am I quote unquote a hero for doing this? Those are your words, not mine.

Steal These Facebook Group Community Management Tips: Expert Roundup

Managing a bustling Facebook group isn’t always easy.

Whether you are struggling to keep your Facebook group alive or to keep people engaged, managing your Facebook community takes a very particular set of skills.

That’s why we reached out to some experienced (and brilliant) Facebook group community management pros and asked them to share their secrets.

Let’s hear it from the experts!

Loren Bartley, Impactiv8— Use custom #hashtags

Using hashtags to generate community engagement is nothing new. It seems like every second Facebook Group is encouraging (read: forcing) engagement using #TipTuesday and #PromoWednesday– Yaaaaawn!

Hashtags don’t just help people within your Facebook group find similar posts– they also have an added bonus of getting your members interacting more when done right. And I think random hashtags (with some guidelines) are the right way to go!

To get started with this strategy, create a pinned post that outlines the common hashtags you encourage to be used within your group such as #Question, #Rant or #Promo. Or if there are particular topics you regularly discuss in your group, create hashtags for each of them.

Make sure it’s clear that your suggested hashtags are suggestions only and that they aren’t the only options– you want to encourage random and made up hashtags as well. Let the group have fun with it!

It does take a little work to get started. As the admin, you need to set the example and then lead by it. Post using hashtags so your community gets a feel for how to use them.

You may also have to poke a few people (nicely) when they forget to use a hashtag in their post. But soon, you’ll start to see hashtags on every post, sometimes more than one.

You know you have nailed this strategy when your group members start making up their own random hashtags to fit their posts. I’ve seen #ShoutOut, #InstagramTip, and some hilarious posts starting with the hashtag #OhCrap. It becomes less about rules and more about having fun. And that’s what creates a great community.

This strategy will also make your job a lot easier when it comes to moderating your Facebook Group because if it’s done well, you will start to be able to recognize what the post is about without having to read the epic novel that some members write. #Winning 😉

Charli Day, Charli Says— Create community rules

Managing a Facebook group can bring great rewards but it’s also a lot of work depending on the size of the group.

If you own a large group with several admins then it’s important to have some guidelines or rules pinned to the top or saved in the about section. This makes it easier for other admins to enforce the rules and keeps the community free of spam or problematic comments or posts.

I include the following in my guidelines:

Info about the group. All the necessary info like “for information about the latest networking events, visit this website or contact this person.”

Purpose of the group. Tell people what the group is all about, e.g. we established this group to help single people in Florida make friends and arrange networking events.

If your group is location specific, state the area. Tell people where you are based, e.g this group is for singles in Florida, particularly in the Tampa Bay Area.

List the admins. Tell members who the admins are and explain what their role is, e.g these admins have the following control and monitoring position for the group.

Define spam. Tell members what is considered spam and how it will be dealt with.

Define inappropriate content. Define your code of conduct. Set best practices to avoid being banned from the group, e.g. no swearing or vulgar language is permitted. Then, tell them exactly what will happen if the rules get broken.

By setting out clear guidelines at the start, you make it easier for admins to manage the group and also keep it streamlined and focused for the members.

Kim Garst, KG Enterprises— Set clear boundaries

My #1 tip for preventing abuse and/or spam in your Facebook group is to set clear boundaries or if you prefer, “rules”. You can establish expectations by using the description area in your group to share what the group is all about, what the boundaries are within the group, and what the culture of the community is all about.

This Facebook Group is part of Kim’s Igniter Inner Circle program.

For example:

Rule #1: I ask that you please do not spam, directly or indirectly, in this group. If you spam you will be deleted and banned from the group. Personal attacks or disrespectful comments will not be tolerated. No ifs, ands or buts. This is a place to grow and learn in a positive environment. PERIOD.

The problem is that sometimes new members don’t take the time to read the group description so I would suggest pinning a post to the top of the group that directs them to things you want them to know about the community. One of those things could be reading over the description.

Rivka Hodgkinson, Meet Rivka — Make some rules

Creating effective group rules is an essential part of an engaged and active Facebook Group. People want to have an opportunity to promote their own stuff, but don’t want to ONLY get pitches from everyone else when they come to the group.

I have a very active Facebook group of close to 1,000 women for women entrepreneurs. The best way I have found to manage this is to create space for promotion. We have a list of guidelines in our group description, and this is the first one:

“We invite you to advertise your business and offerings under the designated posts, rather than in the general feed. We will make sure you have plenty of opportunities to pitch your business and events so that you can connect with potential customers within the group. Time is valuable so we, as admins, want to offer you a valuable group experience by making sure the group feed is organized and relevant to our intention of connecting with other women. Thank you for helping us create a strong network of women.”

And then enforce the rules! Whenever I see someone creating a direct pitch outside of an appropriate comment thread, I ask them to move it to the correct thread. A few repeat offenders we had to ban from the group. But I would rather have fewer people that are highly engaged and love the group, rather than a bunch of people who don’t come to the group because it is a non-stop pitch-fest.

Functionally, I usually create a post about once a week. Most often I do a “Sunday Share” post, with a fun branded image and invitation to share content, promotions, and events. It has worked really well for our group!

Dorien Morin-van Dam, More in Media— Coach your moderator

We have a Facebook group for social media managers to learn from each other and to help out with client issues. To prevent abuse and/or spam in our group, we have set up a secret moderator group for our paid and volunteer moderators.

In this secret Facebook group, we talk about content published within the group and collectively decide on whether it stays or goes if the topic is questionable. We also discuss what spam to watch out for depending on trending topics, and who is ‘on call’ to moderate at what time. If a member posts spam, they go on an active ‘watch’ list in this group; three strikes and they are out. Communicating on Facebook about Facebook is an ideal way to stay ahead of potential problems.

Donna Moritz, Socially Sorted— Stay on topic

With Facebook Groups, it’s really important to lay down the ground rules very clearly from the Get-Go. If you are unsure about what works and doesn’t work, spend some time in successful groups and look at the rules and “flow” of the group.

How do people post? What are they allowed to post? How are the rules conveyed and moderated? Is the group content valuable or has self-promotion started to creep back into the group’s feed?

The most effective groups tend to have clear guidelines and consistency with encouraging members to follow them. For example, if live video is not allowed (as it’s difficult to check and moderate the content) then unauthorized posts will be immediately deleted without warning and this is made perfectly clear in the Group Guidelines. Here’s a callout to the guidelines from my public group Visual Content Creators.

One of the best ways you can keep content on-topic, valuable to members and non-spammy is to encourage members to post in a certain way. Examples include:

Adding hashtags titles to posts so that Admins can easily find, respond to and moderate posts. This might be #ASK to ask a question, #SHARE to share a post and #WIN to share a success story. These hashtag titles are searchable in the group.

Using anchor images to encourage conversation and engagement. In my groups, I have used anchor images with titles such as “TUESDAY TIPS” (where members can share tips around a particular topic) or “FRIDAY DRINKS” (where members can share one profile and something around a topic – to encourage engagement). There are many ways you can do this, but it trains your members to have a conversation around the image.

Holding a Challenge in the group around a particular skill or topic. In this case you might use a mix of both of the above examples, encouraging members. For example, a video-creation challenge you would encourage them to post on the wall or under an Anchor Image using a particular hashtag.

Got Rules?

Our experts seem to agree on one thing– if you want to run a successful Facebook group you need to lay down some ground rules and enforce them.

You need to tell members what’s allowed, what isn’t, and what the consequences of breaking the rules are.

What about you? What’s your favorite Facebook community management tip? Let us know in the comments!

Twitter can do great things for your your business. Loyal followers will increase your visibility and put you miles ahead of the competition.

Here are 8 reasons why twitter is good for business.

1. Connecting with your customers

Sending a potential customer a personal message after they’ve followed you is a great way to increase the trust and appreciation a customer has for your business. One other benefit is that you are able to listen to what your customers are saying.

This feedback is extremely valuable if you have plans to expand your business (or at least, improve the quality of it).

2. Spying on the competition

Connecting with your customers is just one part of the equation. Twitter also allows you to listen to customer feedback and complaints they may share publicly with your competitors.

Want to make Twitter marketing work for you? Collect this information in an Excel sheet and perform deep analysis with your team on a weekly or monthly basis for future product implementation.

Sure, listening and compiling data takes time but there are tools that you can use to reduce the time taken to complete the process; namely, Hootsuite and Mention.

3. FREE marketing

Simply take a minute and craft your 140 character pitch and with the click of a button, it can reach all of your followers who are online. Marketing cost is zero.

Yes — a big, fat zero.

You don’t have to pay to use Twitter and you don’t have to pay to tweet. Unless you are thinking of investing in Twitter advertising or some advance tools to make your life easier, cost of marketing on Twitter is zero.

4. Keeping customers updated

If you’re running a business, you definitely understand the importance of keeping your customers updated. Twitter is a great tool to keep them posted on the latest information, promotion and sales your business is having.

When you use Twitter, you can share valuable information with your customers at times that matter most; weekend sales, black Friday deals etc.

5. A new medium of communication

Did you know that Twitter can be used as a form of communication?

Sure, Twitter is a social media platform and it’s an excellent marketing tool as well. However, instead of using Twitter solely for marketing, you could also use it to communicate with your customers.

Brands such as GoDaddy and WPEngine have specific Twitter accounts for their support team. This is to provide close to real-time technical support to ensure that a great customer satisfaction level is constantly maintained.

6. Marketing using Twitter

Yes, Twitter is a great marketing tool. Don’t forget, tweets are indexed by Google and therefore, it’s also useful in terms of search engine optimization.

Twitter marketing allows you to reach your followers from around the world and alleviate the distance barrier. Influencers such as Rebekah Radice and Kim Garst are great examples when it comes to Twitter marketing done right. They not only use Twitter to promote their products and articles, they also use it to share valuable content from around the web.

7. Building a community

Aside from marketing and customer retention, Twitter can also be used to build a community. Two of the best examples are the Twitter chats organized by SEMrush and Buffer. Influencers within the niche are invited to participate in the discussion.

As a result of these Twitter chats, the opportunity to connect with customers increases dramatically while improving the chances of getting retweets and favorites on Twitter. These simple actions will easily increase the company’s visibility and the chance to acquire more customers. At the same time, the company would be able to understand the current needs and thoughts of the participants to further enhance their services or products.

8. Increase sales using Twitter

According to a survey done by Constant Contact, 60% of a brand’s followers are more likely to perform purchases or recommend products after following the brand on Twitter. To make things even juicier, 50% of the followers are actually more likely to buy or sign up for services from the brands they follow.

In order to have everyone’s eyes on your business, you must have millions of followers. In order to have millions of followers in a snap, you need to buy legit twitter followers and buyrealmarketing.com is offering it in a cost-effective way.

How do Bloggers Continue Their Professional Development?

I have a confession to make: I was a bit of a geek at school. I was the kid who asked questions all the time. What can I say? I loved learning.

And I still do. Every part of the process is exciting for me – learning new things, meeting new people, and being inspired. So imagine how excited I was when I left school and discovered my employers would actually pay me to learn. ‘Professional Development’ quickly became my two favourite words.

Unfortunately, being paid to attend conferences and stay in nice hotels so I could learn and network ended when I left the corporate world. And who pays for your professional development when you’re a blogger? That’s right – you.

Working for yourself means there’s no training and development are who’ll pay to keep your skills up to date. But because I value it so much, I’ve kept investing in my own professional development since going solo. And in this blog post I’m going to share some of the learning opportunities the ProBlogger team and I recommend.

Further Education

When I realised my traditional sales and marketing skills were in danger of being superseded in a digital world, I enrolled in a Diploma in Digital Marketing. It wasn’t strictly blogging related, but it covered content marketing, social media, advertising, PR, acquisition/conversion/retention strategies and much more.

Do those skills sound familiar? They should – I use them pretty much every day to manage the ProBlogger and Digital Photography School blogs. I studied online for a year to get my Diploma in Digital Marketing through the Institute of Direct and Digital Marketing in the UK. It’s fairly intensive, requires two assessments, and you even need to physically sit two exams despite being an online course. (My writing hand was almost dead after writing with pen and paper for six hours.)

Would I do it again? Yes. Sure, it was expensive. But being taught industry best practice by qualified professionals and getting a formal certification at a Bachelor Degree level was definitely worth it.

Conferences

When you have to pay for your ticket, airfares, transport, accommodation and room service, you become very picky about the conferences you go to. Which is why ‘looking local’ is your best first option.

I was lucky. One of the first blogging events I went to (a ProBlogger event, where I met Darren for the first time) was right here in Melbourne, Australia. Of course, there have been other great local events, but I’m proud to say I’ve been involved with the ProBlogger Events here in Australia for the past five years. (Here’s where you can read about our most recent event and sign up for alerts about our next one.)

Unfortunately I won’t be attending the next one in Dallas, Texas. But Darren will be there, co-hosting with Digital Collab of the Success Incubator on the 24th of October. It will also feature amazing speakers including Pat Flynn, Kim Garst and Andrea Vahl. It’s a fantastic opportunity, and tickets are still available if you can make it. (It will be Darren’s last international trip for the year.)

If there isn’t much happening in your local area, you may need to look further abroad. My first international blogging conference was BlogHer in New York in 2012. It was quite an experience for me. I got to meet a lot of bloggers, and be exposed to new ideas and new ways of doing things. I also learned about sponsored content trends (which was new to me at the time) that would soon be heading to Australia.

One I wish I could get to more often is Mike Stelzner’s Social Media Marketing World in San Diego. I was there in 2015, and appreciated the focus on social media, which was becoming more and more a part of a blogger’s online environment. In recent years the agenda has expanded to include more content marketing and a dedicated stream for ‘creators’ such as bloggers and podcasters. You’ll usually find Darren speaking at this event – it’s one his favourites, too.

There’s another one that isn’t strictly blogging, but can give you insights about the kinds of marketing skills you can consider – Hubspot’s Inbound in Boston. It’s the one where I flew to the other side of the world only to get locked out of Seth Godin’s keynote. (Oops!)

If you’re looking for conferences, Social Media Examiner has a list of events being held around the world. There’s also a comprehensive directory of 400+ worldwide digital marketing events at marketingterms.com.

Blogging Courses and Resources

Of course, a big part of what we do here at ProBlogger is provide access to free and affordable content to help you with your blogging. ProBlogger has more than 8,000 free blog posts and a library of six eBooks. (We’ll also be adding some courses soon, so watch this space.)

One of our most popular books is the best-selling 31 Days to Build a Better Blog. It’s a great resource you can use whenever your blogging needs a bit of focus and revitalisation. There’s also Blogwise – our collection of productivity tips that’s currently being offered as part of the Ultimate Bundles Blogger’s Genius Toolkit.

The Blogger’s Genius Toolkit

One of the reasons we’ve endured with eBooks is they’re so affordable. We’ve contributed to (and been an affiliate for) the Ultimate Bundles Blogger’s Genius Toolkit for the second year in a row because it represents such amazing value.

The team at Ultimate Bundles has put together the best resources on all the topics that matter to bloggers – mastering social media, monetization, creating and selling products, time management and productivity, growing an email list, and so much more.

All-up there are 91 resources in the toolkit. The eBooks, eCourses, templates and workbooks alone are worth more than $5,800. And on top of that you get $1,193 worth of free bonus offers, and ten tools and services to help you run your blog better.

But the best part (and one of the main reasons we take part each year) is that you can get the lot for just $97. That’s about the same as a course or a few eBooks. And a lot less than a flight from Melbourne to Boston.

There’s even a full 30-day happiness guarantee, which means you can try it out without any risk.

Here’s where you can learn more and buy the bundle. But be quick – it’s only available until 11:59pm EST on Monday the 9th of October.

Blogger Groups

If you’re looking for more free advice and support, Facebook Groups can be a fantastic resource for new and advanced bloggers alike. While many Facebook groups are set up for paid courses (and therefore restricted), there are still plenty of free ones.

ProBlogger Community is our free closed Facebook Group where Darren, Kat Jarman (our Community Manager) and I hang out with nearly 10,000 bloggers. It’s a great place to ask questions, offer valuable tips, and help each other. It costs nothing to join – you just need to answer three simple questions). And we have guidelines on taking part in the conversation that help stop it from becoming spammy and self-promotional.

It’s also a great place to get direct input from Darren. We direct most enquiries we get via our contact form to the group, so you’re more likely to get his attention this way.

Here are some other places we like to hang out.

The Inspired Bloggers Network Facebook Group is a similar group that also has strict guidelines around self-promotion and profiting from the group. It’s there to encourage and educate bloggers.

You’ll find Darren in Rachel Miller’s Facebook Massive Growth Strategies group since he became a student of her course. There’s a free group you can join, and a different group if you buy the course.

For the Aussies in the house, we also love hanging out over at Aussie Bloggers, where we often help out and join the conversation. We love their two straightforward and very Australian rules – 1. Don’t spam the group. 2. Don’t be a dick. Enough said really!

Hopefully you’ll appreciate the spam and sleaze-free communities in these groups as much as we do.

What are some other ways you’ve progressed your professional development since becoming a blogger?

5 Customer Activation Emails to Add to Your Funnel

If you’re familiar with the world of digital marketing – you’ve probably come across the term “marketing funnels.” And no, they have nothing to do with plastic instruments you would use in the kitchen or the smoking chimneys found on steamboats.

Instead, a marketing funnel describes the journey a person takes from initially visiting your website to becoming a paying customer. With a clearly defined funnel, you can optimize each lead’s journey to maximize the chances that they’ll eventually become paying customers.

Check out this marketing funnel diagram, courtesy of TrackMaven:

In order to execute an effective marketing funnel, you have to increase the number of cold leads entering your funnel and decrease the number of leads who exit your funnel without converting.

Since leads can exit your funnel at any stage, it’s important that you keep them engaged at all times and constantly moving towards the end of the funnel. One of the best ways to do this is with customer activation emails.

Depending on which stage of the funnel your lead is in, I recommend sending activation emails with one of five purposes:

Initial Indoctrination – Help leads to get familiar with your brand.

Engagement – Encourage leads to take small actions and build familiarity.

Conversion – Encourage leads to make a purchase and become customers.

Reengagement – Reacquaint dormant customers with your brand.

Advocacy – Encourage customers to refer their friends to your company.

Here’s how to put these different activation emails into practice:

1. Initial Indoctrination

This type of email needs to educate new leads about your brand. Allow them to get familiar with the ethos of your brand and try to convey the value you consistently provide to your customers with your products and services.

Since between 30-50% of leads that enter a marketing funnel are qualified but not ready to buy, this is not the time to discuss specific product offerings or try to get a sale. Simply treat this phase as an opportunity to build trust and establish a relationship with each lead.

Marketer and entrepreneur Melyssa Griffin sends out an excellent initial indoctrination email as soon as you subscribe to her mailing list.

She conveys elements of her personality, such as her penchant for green smoothies and dance parties, and also makes it clear what types of people will benefit from her newsletter. Her informal tone of writing is incredibly endearing and allows new leads to warm to her immediately.

She also states that she can’t help people who: “Aren’t willing to put in a little work to make their dreams a reality. My strategies don’t work unless you do.”

In other words, she makes it clear that she isn’t selling a magic pill – and her advice requires real action in order to be successful. This immediately builds integrity, compared with marketers who promise the moon and then fail to deliver.

2. Engagement

Once a lead is somewhat familiar with your brand and your messages stand out from the multitude of emails in their inbox, you can move to the engagement phase. This entails strengthening the relationship with your lead by sending them contextually relevant, high-value content.

You aren’t going for the sale just yet, but you’re warming the lead to your products and services. Many marketers offer case studies, free webinars and other pieces of informative content during this phase in order to build rapport.

Entrepreneur and social media expert, Kim Garst, demonstrates exactly how to promote a free webinar via email:

The title of the webinar clearly conveys what information will be imparted, social proof is leveraged by mentioning the number of people already signed up, and urgent language encourages leads to sign up immediately instead of procrastinate.

3. Conversion

Once a lead has engaged with your brand (perhaps by reading a few blog posts or attending a free online webinar) and has learned about the value of your products and services, you can begin encouraging these leads to make a purchase.

At this stage, start discussing the ways in which your products and services can benefit the lead. Buying is an emotional – rather than a rational process – which is why it helps to discuss the benefits of your products rather than its objective features.

If you can get your leads to start visualizing how their life will be enhanced after purchasing from you, this is an excellent starting point.

In my experience, promoting discounts via email is an excellent way to create scarcity and encourage leads to purchase immediately.

Try including compelling imagery in your conversion emails. In the following image by Lucky Vitamin, notice how “50% Off” and “Shop Now” really stand out from the rest of the image, due to a careful choice of colors, placement and font size.

Immediately beneath this image, Lucky Vitamin provides contextually valuable content for its readers with an article about hair washing. Adjacent to it is an article about hair coloring, which simultaneously promotes another product.

By delivering informative content mixed with product promotions, you can encourage sales while also growing trust for your brand.

4. Re-Engagement

Think of the re-engagement phase as a second engagement phase. The principle of providing value through useful content still applies, except now, you’re targeting customers instead of leads.

Since you already have a purchase history for each customer, segmenting your re-engagement emails according to each customer’s interests is a great way to make your emails feel more personal.

In a 2013 study by Experian, personalized promotional emails had 29% higher unique open rates and 41% more unique click-through rates.

If a customer has purchased a particular type of product, send them re-engagement messages pertaining to that.

Kissmetrics Campaigns: Send triggered emails to users to nudge them toward engagement. Learn more about the newly-released Kissmetrics Campaigns.

Sports betting sites, such as BetVictor, are notorious for sending personalized bonuses to players who haven’t wagered in a while. For instance, players who primarily bet on mixed martial arts fights receive different email bonuses than those who bet on soccer.

By sending personalized offers to segmented audiences, you dramatically improve your chances of re-engaging previous customers.

In a study by Campaign Monitor, marketers noted a 760% increase in revenue from segmented campaigns.

Pinkberry, a restaurant franchise that specializes in frozen desserts, sends its customers free gifts if they’ve been absent for a while. Because the offers have time restrictions (in this case, 7 days), a sense of urgency is created that leads to higher purchases.

5. Advocacy

Finally, when a person makes multiple purchases and develops an emotional connection with a brand, they have the potential to transform from a customer to a brand advocate.

It’s essential to single out these people, based on their customer history, and send them personalized emails encouraging them to tell their friends about your brand.

Because you’re specifically targeting people who have a history of positive interactions with your brand, they’re far more likely to be receptive.

Judging by this advocacy email by tanning salon franchise, Tanning Shop, the brand has a very clear buyer profile (young, predominantly female, takes pride in their physical appearance, enjoys travel, wants to look good on the beach).

People like this usually have friends who match the same buyer profile, making incentivized referral emails a no-brainer in this situation.

How to Build Your Email Funnel

Now that you know the types of customer activation emails you should be sending, you can move onto building out your funnel.

If you’ve never done any sophisticated email marketing before, this phase can sound like a technical nightmare, but it’s much easier than you would expect. Most email marketing platforms are simple to use, even if you have no prior experience.

First, it’s important to choose the right platform based on your specific requirements.

With Kissmetrics Campaigns, it’s easy to create behavior based, automated emails for every step of your funnel. Campaigns is also tightly integrated with Analyze, which is extremely helpful for measuring the impact of your campaigns and analyzing user behavior.

Next, you’ll need a killer lead magnet and an email opt-in form conveniently located on your site. Try placing your form in a feature box or directly beneath each blog post for excellent visibility (split test your form’s placement for best results).

Once you’re ready to begin marketing, input the content for each automated email in your sequence and determine when each email will be sent. I recommend sending the indoctrination email straightaway, and your engagement email the day after.

With the Kissmetrics Funnel Report, you can see where exactly people are dropping out of your funnel. If people are clicking through to your landing page but aren’t converting, you might want to set this as a trigger that sends a personalized email the next day reminding them of what they’re missing out on.

Once your form and email funnel sequence are properly integrated, you’re ready to start collecting leads.

With an automated email funnel, scaling your marketing (and business) becomes much easier.
