Why Does Email Reputation Matter For Deliverability? (2026/678)

Have you ever sent an email that simply vanished? Your customer says they never received it, and it is not even in their spam folder. The problem might not be your subject line or content; it could be your email reputation being checked before anyone even sees your message.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅What email reputation actually means and how mail providers track it
✅The key signals affecting your reputation: bounces, spam complaints, engagement, and sending patterns
✅Why authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) is the foundation of good deliverability
✅How purchased lists and scraped contacts can destroy your sender reputation
✅Five essential practices to maintain a healthy email reputation

Your email marketing platform matters more than you think. Choose wisely and keep that list clean.

Why Do Engaged Followers Beat A Massive Following? (2026/681)

Are you obsessing over your follower count while missing the metric that actually drives revenue? Social platforms are designed to make you chase numbers, but for business owners, engagement and trust matter far more than audience size.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅Why follower counts are a vanity metric and what to measure instead
✅How a small, engaged audience outperforms a large, passive one for sponsors and sales
✅The real cost of chasing followers — time, money, and missed opportunities
✅Why your email list is the only audience you actually own
✅How to shift from audience acquisition to serving the people already in your world
