Email Marketing for Bloggers

How often should I be emailing my list?

Published about 2 months ago • 2 min read

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! This solo podcast is all about segmentation. Segmenting your email list may sound really "techie”... and, well, it is. 😂 It may not be easy to understand, but I make it my goal to break down complex “techie” things into something that makes sense. At the start of 2026, I led a workshop on segmentation at Tastemaker (a lovely in-person conference, with even lovelier people!) – and it was everything I hoped for: Teaching about email marketing Walking around and answering questions...

Hey Reader! I got this email from my mom last week that just said, “Fight the AI.” And I was like, Mom, you have no idea. I've been fighting with it in my brain for weeks now! 😅 You could say I've had my dance battle with AI. At the end of January I was very anti-AI — you know, because it can affect my entire business model and that feels terrible. So in order to know more, I've spent more time over the last month or so using it. And, unfortunately, it's been really incredible. 😅 While,...
