✨ Fresh air, a park bench, and writing


Hi Reader

I just got off our monthly campaign planning call for the Email School Membership that I am in.

It happens every 3rd or 4th Wednesday of the month.

One of the main things I’ve been working on this year is writing.

Thankfully, I met Cody Burch last year in the VIP Day group I am in.

He was killing it and sharing his success in the group.

I wanted to know his secret. He was helping people set up FB ads, emails, and storytelling.

I wanted to know how he did it so I looked him up and joined his email list.

He sent a daily email. Mostly they were encouraging stories.

Sometimes he was selling a really helpful workshop.

I bought a few and learned so much.

Next, he started a low cost weekly email with the behind the scenes info about what he was doing to grow his list, sell his workshops, and fill his coaching membership and cohorts.

This fall, he started a membership called Email School.

I joined when he launched on Halloween.

It includes weekly coffee chats to get your questions answered, the monthly campaign planning calls, the behind the scenes newsletter, and a community of people focused on sending better and more emails.

I absolutely love it.

Additionally, he’s made a custom CPT trained on his hooks and campaigns and hosts a number of courses in the group.

I love his laid back approach to business and his easy going demeanor.

I love that he’s focused on his family and wears flannels to most of the calls.

It makes me feel like I’m learning online marketing from my neighbor or someone in my church small group.

Today, I’m writing from a park bench while my youngest enjoys some fresh air for the first time after a week of being sick.

I love that I’ve learned to take all the pressure off myself and share little things that I love and that are working for me.

I hope you’ll do the same and share what's working back with me.

If you are working on email marketing or storytelling, do yourself a favor and check out Email School to learn more about it.

It’s currently $35/ mo or $295/yr.

But the price is going up soon.

It’s one of the best business investments I’ve made.

I’d love to see you inside!

Cheers,
