Keep It Personal and Simple

You might be wondering, “What exactly should I be sharing?” Liz’s go-to strategy? Personal updates. Yep, let your subscribers in on your journey, share little life moments or business insights. It's all about building that connection.

Ditch the Insecurities

It's easy to get tangled up in impostor syndrome and worry about whether your audience finds value in your emails. Liz and Mike Brennan, the host of the Creative Chats podcast, dove into this issue. Their advice? KISS – Keep It Simple and Sweet. Short, personal updates can be way more effective than lengthy sales pitches.

Simplicity Saves the Day

Have Fun with It

Turn it into a Creative Outlet

Think of email marketing not as a chore, but as a creative outlet. It's your chance to connect directly with people who dig what you do. Share your stories, quirks, tips – anything that makes you, well, you.

Relationships Matter

Liz’s strategy is all about “relationship first, sales second.” Keep your content relatable and engaging, forming a bond with your audience. That way, when you finally pitch a product, they're more inclined to buy because they trust you. Her success in selling her first RV life book is a testament to this approach.

Be Excited, Be You

Let your excitement and passion shine through. Enthusiasm is infectious, and your audience will be drawn to your genuine energy. And remember, it’s completely fine if some folks unsubscribe. Focus on those who stay and appreciate your authentic self.
