Just some fun stuff here.
I’ve been an email marketer since the beginning of email marketing. It’s just my jam. I love writing, I love getting instant feedback – and yea, I’m not going to lie, I love seeing open rates in the 30’s and 40’s. And then came Covid. Everyone was Zoomed out and Emailed out. There was very […]
When you think about posting on your business social media pages, do you start to panic, feel overwhelmed, and just feel all around uncertainty about what the heck you are even doing?
