Hey Reader, I was recording a guest podcast episode with a blogging coach last week (Bree from Thrive, if you know her!) — and, it’s important that you know, we both: Talk with our hands (me more than anyone 😅) Chat with the speed of the Gilmore Girls LOVE email marketing And one big question she had for me — from her audience of content creators — is this: What am I doing wrong with my email marketing? Now, first, please know that I think that if you’re *sending emails at all* you’re doing a...

It’s a little gift from me to you, and something I’ve meant to do for AGES — to share some of my favorite things I use and enjoy for life and business.

Hey Reader! What do you have in place to do more with your email marketing in 2025? You might have ideas, or maybe a brainstormed list of what you could send your list, but do you have a plan of action to start doing more — or being more strategic — with email? That jump from conception to implementation can be a tricky one. We’ve ALL been there: great ideas pop up in January, then bam it’s June and you’re kicking yourself for not doing more of what you know your business needs. There’s a...

Hey Reader, If you’re remotely close to the food blogging community, you’ve heard of this strategy for lead generation lately — and not only am I sharing it with you as a surefire way to boost subscribers, I’m going to show you HOW. What is it? It’s a “Save this Recipe” form that you add to every blog post. You can even use this strategy for non-food blogs, of course, like a “Save this Post” form instead. See if it could work for your business — I may even use it on the Duett blog soon! It...

Hey Reader, Okay, I’m a NERD about systems and organization. You’ve probably learned that from me by now. (If not, this blog post will catch you up to speed. 😂) And what’s ONE thing that everyone — I promise, everyone — gets befuddled about that I would LOVE to help you with? It’s getting your email service platform (ESP) cleaned up and organized! Why? Because if you don’t know how your ESP is set up, what freebies are sending and when — or, like many people, you have too many unused forms...

💬 Soooo, this email got a lot longer than I expected (happy little typy-hands!), so if you prefer to read it on the Duett site or share it with a friend that way, come on over here to the blog. Hey Reader, couple weeks ago, I shared how I grew my email list using the ConvertKit Creator Network by over 22%! If you’re not familiar with the Creator Network yet, I suggest you watch this 2-minute video. However, if you’re like Rachael who replied to my email about the Creator Network, you may have...

Hey Reader, I’ll keep this short because there’s a whole dang article about it over on ConvertKit.com — but when I talk about how the ConvertKit Creator Network can help you grow your email list, I mean it. I had fewer than 900 subscribers in December 2022, and now, 8 months later (I’m literally checking the numbers at this moment) — my list has grown to 1,398. Of those, 385 of those subscribers came directly through the Creator Network and my Creator Profile. That’s nearly 50 new subscribers...
