Email Marketing for Bloggers

Even these big creators are making the switch

Hey Reader, …so now that I’ve poured my heart out (and a face of me crying) to you on the internet, let’s get into some email marketing, shall we? 😂 I was just on a mastermind call this week with content creators who have hundreds of thousands of IG followers, and a few with a MILLION or two. I also had a coaching call with a client of mine whose email list is over 200k subscribers. Want to hear what we talked about in BOTH calls? This list-growth strategy from Kit: The Kit Creator Network If...

We're hiring a marketing assistant 🔍

Hey Reader! I'm doing this thing I never do and I'm typing this-here email directly into Kit (gasp!). But it's been a crazy last few weeks for me, and I am not on top of my email writing like I usually am. Cause for delays, you may wonder? A wonderful trip to LA for the Tastemaker conference Getting the flu real bad and rescheduling so many calls Losing power from an apocalyptic ice storm in Nashville Tillie and I staying with a friend for 5 days during said lost of power/heat Throwing out...

And I’m sharing 7 of those in this week’s podcast. Tune in to hear what’s shaped me the most this year. Things like: allowing myself rest and margin Spending...

$7 for 7 segmentation strategies

Hey Reader, What kind of Black Friday shopper are you? For years and years, I’ve enjoyed the convenience of doing my Christmas shopping on Amazon from the comfort of my parents’ home in rural Nebraska. But lately, I’ve been feeling the ITCH to support more small businesses. Like getting this magnet for my sister. And this adventure book for my other sister and nephews. If you’re gift-giving, find your people what they want, wherever you want. But if you’re looking for a gift for YOURSELF....

makes friends with brick wall

Hey Reader, A year ago, July 1, actually, I rolled into my new driveway at 9pm. The summer darkness, still warm. And my parents rolled in with me, taking our tired bodies into an empty apartment, air mattresses in hand and Tillie sniffing the perimeter of every room (my little bodyguard that she is 🐈). Nashville. My new place. Alllll the way, 12 hours away, from my sweet Nebraska. I had moved to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, *temporarily* in December 2023, two days after Christmas, to “see who I...
