1. Remove Inactive Subscribers

A large list doesn't matter if no one is reading your emails. Begin by identifying subscribers who haven't opened your emails in the past 3–6 months. Send a re-engagement email asking if they'd like to stay.

Inbox Magic includes three customizable re-engagement email templates, complete with subject lines, body copy, and incentive prompts.

Once sent, track who engages and remove the rest to keep your list healthy and focused.

2. Segment Your Author Email List

Not all readers are interested in every book you write. Segment your author email list by:

• Series or book world

• Heat level preference

• Trope interest

• Subscriber engagement level

• Customer journey stage

Use your email platform’s link triggers or survey tools to tag subscribers based on their responses or clicks.

Inbox Magic includes a complete segmentation planning worksheet to make this easy.

3. Refresh Your Welcome Sequence

Your welcome sequence is often the first impression a reader has of your brand. Review it for outdated content, broken links, and missed opportunities to build connection.

Recommended welcome sequence:

• Email 1: Welcome and freebie delivery

• Email 2: Your story and brand introduction

• Email 3: Overview of your series or reading order

• Email 4: Exclusive content or bonus scenes

• Email 5: Invite to connect on socials or join ARC team

Use the Inbox Magic refresh outline to walk through each step.

4. Audit and Update Your Lead Magnet

An outdated lead magnet might attract the wrong audience or result in low conversion. Assess whether your freebie still aligns with your brand and your goals.

Ideal lead magnets for romance authors include:

• Bonus epilogues

• Prequel novellas

• Series guides or world maps

• Deleted scenes

Inbox Magic provides a planning sheet to assess and improve your current lead magnet or develop a new one.

5. Optimize Subject Lines and Send Times

The best email doesn’t matter if it never gets opened. Test subject lines and send times to improve visibility.

Best practices for subject lines:

• Keep under 50 characters

• Use questions or curiosity

• Include personalization when possible

Inbox Magic offers a dedicated planner to A/B test subject lines and track open and click performance across various send times.

6. Set a Regular Cleaning Schedule

Don’t treat email list maintenance as a once-a-year task. Instead, set a recurring schedule to clean, review, and segment your list.

We recommend quarterly cleaning. Inbox Magic includes a checklist to guide you through every phase of the process, from analysis to execution.

7. Strategically Grow Your List Post-Cleaning

After cleaning your author email list, focus on intentional growth. Promote your lead magnet in relevant places like your backmatter, website, and social media.

Create new reader entry points:

• Dedicated landing pages

• Story-specific opt-ins

• ARC team invitations

Use the lead magnet and segmentation planners inside Inbox Magic to plan your growth strategy.
