How often should I be emailing my list?


Hey Reader!

Have you been in the mood to do some spring cleaning lately, or is it just me?

This year has been full of cleaning for me — helping me stay mentally present and reducing the noise of my devices (and my life).

So far I’ve:

  • Replied “STOP” to SMS marketing texts (my reason being “I know where to find you when I need you, niche website where I wanted a coupon code for later.”)
  • Cleared out my shoe collection. Emphasis on collection. I want to reduce decision fatigue, and oh my gosh, this helps so much.
  • Muted certain Slack channels where I don’t need to be notified. I’ve had the desktop notifications turned off for literal years, but this was the next step.

If you’re in the mood to clean up your email marketing — literally, by removing cold subscribers, or metaphorically, by improving or simplifying what you’re doing — boyyyy is today’s podcast episode for you.

Even better if you’re also a food blogger, becauuuuuse, my guest today is…

My friend Bjork!

I was recently a guest in the Food Blogger Pro community, tackling questions that Food Blogger Pro members submitted for me ahead of time. These are the things people are actually wondering about, but maybe (like you) don't know who to ask.

Tune in today if you have any of these questions too:

  • How often should you actually be sending emails?
  • Why spend time on a welcome sequence? What does it actually do?
  • What list cleaning is, why does it feel scary to remove cold subscribers?
  • What helps get emails opened?
  • How can you get the most out of my existing content (without having to create new stuff for email)?

Hey Reader! On Monday, I hopped on a call with a creator I've known for years. We shall call her Traci… because her name is Traci. She was curious about what Done & Delivered actually offers, asking me — "Outside of what your website says… I'm curious about the actual offer. Like, what have you actually made for your clients?" So here's exactly what you get as part of Done & Delivered. 👇 A brand-new lead magnet, designed and built for you, every quarter. This is the freebie that grows your...

Hi Duett Client! We only have one spot left for a Done & Delivered spot this summer, so if you know of a friend or fellow creator who would benefit, will you please send them this email or direct them my way? There are just some things that — unless provided with a plan and held accountable — would NOT happen on their own. For me, it’s exercise. Never in my LIFE have I ever gotten up at 6:08am regularly to, excuuuuse me, work out?! Never. Not until a few months ago. I hit a point where I...

Hi Duett Client! We only have one spot left for a Done & Delivered spot this summer, so if you know of a friend or fellow creator who would benefit, will you please send them this email or direct them my way? It’s officially sweating season in Nashville, and I’ve got plans to hang by the pool on Friday with my sweet friend Elaina Joy. I played slow pitch softball yesterday in what was probably 70% humidity — the kind where you can cut it with a knife and you just wait and HOPE for a slight...
