Automated flows like welcome, abandoned cart, and post-purchase earn around $1.58 per recipient, while the one-off blasts most sellers spend their week writing earn about $0.06. That is a 28 to 1 gap, from emails that make up only a tiny slice of total sends.<\/p>\n<p>The lesson isn&rsquo;t to send more email, it&rsquo;s to set up the few that run themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Our Take:<\/em><\/strong> <em>Pick the one automated email you don&rsquo;t have yet, usually the abandoned cart, and switch it on today, because one flow can out-earn a month of manual blasts while you sleep.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>TOOLS OF THE WEEK<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\udee0 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/adgpt.com\/\">AdGPT Go Live<\/a><br \/>\nPaste in one product URL and Go Live generates a full campaign for you, including AI video ads, UGC-style clips, social creatives, and search assets, all in minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udee0 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/platforms\/google-pay\/secure-identity-payment-tools\/\">Google Pay direct checkout<\/a><br \/>\nGoogle now pulls a shopper&rsquo;s saved Wallet payment options straight onto your checkout page, cutting the friction that quietly kills carts at the final step.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Our Take:<\/em><\/strong> <em>Drop a product URL into AdGPT to build a full campaign in minutes, and if you run a store, switch on Google Pay direct checkout to rescue the carts you lose at the payment step.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>TODAY&rsquo;S QUICK WINS<\/h2>\n<p>\u26a1 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/business.pinterest.com\/en-au\/blog\/smb-automate-success-with-performance-plus\/\">Pinterest&rsquo;s new customer-finding tool<\/a><br \/>\nA toggle inside Performance+ campaigns now lets you upload your customer list so Pinterest&rsquo;s AI chases fresh buyers who resemble your best customers, instead of wasting spend re-serving people who already bought.<\/p>\n<p>\u26a1 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/ppc.land\/reddit-brings-ai-shopping-ads-and-research-tools-to-cannes-2026\/\">Reddit launches integrated shopping ads<\/a><br \/>\nReddit now shows a carousel of products beneath relevant community threads, putting what you sell in front of people who are already discussing the exact topic.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Our Take:<\/em><\/strong> <em>If you run Pinterest ads, upload your customer list and turn on New Customer Acquisition so your spend chases fresh buyers, then keep an eye on Reddit&rsquo;s new shopping ads.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>FROM OMC<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\udcdd <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/onlinemarketingclassroom.com\/blog\/2026\/06\/22\/the-reddit-goldmine\/\">The Reddit Goldmine: How I&rsquo;d Find a $1,000\/Month Affiliate Niche in an Afternoon of Scrolling<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How I&rsquo;d dig through subreddits you already read to find a buyer-ready affiliate niche, using the real complaints and product requests people post every day.
