Simplero does smart handling of things like prefixes to the subject lines, automatically adding a footer to all emails, or inserting personalized links for each recipient.

The problem, until now, has been that you couldn't preview exactly what people were seeing, because the preview wouldn't include the actual subject prefix, footer, or personalized links, so in the end you had to just have faith in yourself and the software and hit send and trust that it would all do as expected.

Well, no mor…

A question that's come up a lot recently is: How can I make time to create content.

As a Creator myself, I can relate to that question a lot.

I very much live to create. I create code. Words. Music. Food. Drinks. Space. 

I know for myself, I need time to create. This week, there are 9 distinct blocks in my calendar. Two of them are gym sessions with my trainer. Two of them are meetings with my team. Two of them are coaching sessions (where I'm the one being coached). One is an interview with …

With billions of emails sent daily, how can you stand out in the crowd and not get clicked into the trash? The email subject line is by far the most important factor in a successful email campaign. It’s what determines whether people open and read the rest of your email or not. Here’s how you can make sure yours will get opened and read:   

1. Current Events

Newsworthy events can be a great resource to finding your next awesome subject line and boost engagement and open rates. Also, with so …

You may not know this about Simplero, but we don't think of ourselves as a software company. We're more like a lab looking to redefine entrepreneurship.

So much of the talk in business is about all the rational stuff. The what and the how. The numbers and the strategies. But we all know there's so much more to life than that. So why do we tend to check that at the door when it comes to business? 

Love is what makes the world go round. The same should be the case in business.  

If we're not do…

Other people have figured shit out. What I mean by that is that (almost) everything you want to accomplish in life, someone else already has. You can learn from them.

That's not news. That's what we all do around here. And Tony Robbins has long said "success leaves clues". You can learn their strategies. 

But, to me, what's much more interesting than learning strategies from people is to learn ways of being.

Imagine what it's like to be some person that has achieved what you dream of. Maybe i…

I'm back home in New York after an exciting trip to Los Angeles. It's good to be home (which, incidentally, is the hook in one of my songs.)

I’ve long been a fan of Meyer-Briggs. It’s a simple system for describing people along four main axes: introvert/extrovert, intuitive/sensing, thinking/feeling, perceiving/judging.

Since I first got to know the system many years ago, it spoke to me. It’s so simple and it's so easy to grasp, and it’s super easy to assess yourself and other people without h…

I've just taken a vacation for a week, hence the missing newsletter last week.

I rarely go on vacation. I think last time I went somewhere just to take a vacation was 5 days in Miami in March 2014!

I always have this resistance towards going before leaving. Then once I'm in the car toward the airport, I'm fine.

There are many reasons for the resistance. See if you can relate.

First, I'm introverted, so I have a slight resistance to meeting new people. For example, I'd much rather watch a TV …

As announced in our Facebook group and in our newsletter, we've changed the way you edit and manage content in spaces, so it now happens in your normal admin interface, along with everything else, rather than inside your space.

We've done this for two important reasons:

First, it means we can add more features to the admin interface, such as triggers, and information about activity inside the spaces. We've already begun this, showing you top viewed pages, all the pages each member has access t…

I've just rolled out a new feature which allows you to quote prices for your products in multiple currencies.

It's been a big project, and a highly requested feature, and I'm glad it's finally out there for everyone to enjoy.

Here's how it works:

As you've probably heard, I've been getting into music recently, writing, singing, producing, and, occasionally, performing. And in doing so, I've fallen into the classic trap more than once.

Which trap, you ask?

The trap of acquiring tools instead of making music.

The thing is, I'm busy. I've got lots of things on my plate. Hiring, leading, coding, marketing, serving, there's enough to keep me busy. So what do you do when you don't have the time to actually sit your ass down in the chair and…
