The other day Muslim Creators member Zain Bilal messaged me on WhatsApp:

“Salam bro just wanted to let yk for some reason Ur emails land in my spam”

Then this morning I wake up to a Skool message from Arif (also a Muslim Creators member:

“I have been replying to your emails but haven’t received any response”

If I've ever ghosted you, my halal creator friend, trust me, I’m more angry than you

Obviously something is afoot here, and I’m determined to get to the bottom of it.

I wholeheartedly believe email is king, but if your emails don’t even get seen, what’s the point?

So, off the top of my head, here’s some steps I plan to take to improve my email deliverability (which you can also do):

1. Domain email address: use my @redimameti.com domain instead of sending these from a Gmail account.
2. Whitelist bribe: Incentivise new subscribers to whitelist my email address, perhaps in exchange for a freebie.
3. Set expectations upfront: Revamp my welcome sequence to set clear expectations for promotional material and daily frequency of emails.
4. Clean list: I’ll be removing ghost subscribers soon. Quality over quantity and no spies allowed.

This gave me an idea for the community too 💡 read on...

Embarrassingly, I’ve left it inactive for too long but that’s about to change.

Because I’m committed to seeing it grow into the best resource for Muslim business owners to scale using content.

So, I created a roadmap for the classroom. These are the courses I plan to release shortly in sha Allah:

3) Newsletter In A Weekend

• Planning content ideas

• Growing your email list

• Selling via email

• Optimising for email deliverability in sha Allah

2) Million Views In A Month Threads Course

• How I predictably go viral a few times a week

• How I got 1.2M total views and 1700+ followers in my first month on Threads

1) Intentional Creator Mini Course

• Align your purpose, content and Deen

• Learn how to become a leader and uplift the ummah with your content

An announcement is also coming in the next few days about our first group call in the Muslim Creators community, so you have something to get excited about in sha Allah 🤫

To help make sure others are also seeing my emails, please reply “got it” and message me with a screenshot on Instagram @redimameti.

Till tomorrow.

As salamu aleiykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
