True Confessions from 6+ audits this year.
Your campaigns aren't your revenue problem. Your automations are.
Every single audit I run? The welcome flow looks fine on paper. 60–80% open rates. 15% CTR. Lovely numbers. Except when you break it down month by month, the story changes — and in 2025/26, AI-driven bots are absolutely hammering sign-up forms.
Two things you need to do right now:
- Check your CAPTCHA is actually working
- Consider a double opt-in (yes, it'll hurt your list growth, but a smaller clean list beats a big dead one every time)
Then go back into your welcome sequence and ask yourself honestly:
- Is the offer strong enough?
- Are you giving people a reason to trust you before you ask them to buy?
- Where's the drop-off and why?
Set it up right and leave it to work whilst you are walking on the beach with zero guilt.
If this has you making that face 😬 DM me for my free 2-minute quiz. It'll show you exactly where the holes are. No jargon, no sleazy sales tactics.
I promise.
