Right, let’s talk newsletters. Here’s the thing: I’m merging my newsletter with my welcome series. Why? Cos I’m tired of people missing great emails or spending ages batch-creating content. Here’s the plan: – When someone signs up, they’ll get a welcome sequence: a bit about me, best articles, LinkedIn connection, the works. – Then, they’ll flow seamlessly into my weekly newsletter, every Tuesday, like clockwork. – Bonus? No one misses out, ever. I’m aiming for a year’s worth of content—60 emails in total. Once it’s done, my email game will run on autopilot. Effortless. Oh, and I’ve moved to Kit (formerly ConvertKit). Free for up to 10k subscribers and perfect for this setup. Why wouldn’t you? What do you think? Game-changer or just extra faff? Drop me a comment! 🚀

Hey! One of my goals for 2025 is to grow my LinkedIn presence. It's THE network for B2B marketing. From what I've observed, the key to getting more eyes on your posts is receiving comments quickly after publishing—ideally from people with a bit of a presence themselves. That’s why I’m looking for like-minded people who want to grow together. Do you have 1,000+ followers and post at least weekly (quality stuff!) about topics in the digital marketing space? If so, let me know, and we can start supporting each other. 💬 P.S. Doug, I hope it's okay to post something not directly related to email marketing 🙈
