"All freelancers should have an email newsletter for their business, 100%, without a doubt!"
My guest today is Eman Ismail, email strategist, email copywriter extraordinaire and host of the excellent Mistakes That Made Me podcast. If you've been thinking about starting a newsletter, this episode is packed with tips to help you get set up, grow your list, and use email marketing to attract clients.
We discuss:
- Why freelancers shouldn't overlook email marketing as a key way to build their business
- Why email is actually better than social media for marketing
- Eman's insights on what to write and how often
- Building an email list full of the right people (and what to do if you attract more fellow freelancers than potential clients!)
- Eman's favourite email marketing platforms
