With my email list, do you know what I’m most proud of?
How little I ask for.
Since April 2021, I’ve sent 76 emails, and I’ve only made a direct ask of my subscribers three times.
Once was for my girlfriend’s book. Once for my podcast relaunch. And once for my freelance writing book.
In return, I’ve given away:
- My free 19-page guide: Everything I Did to Quit My 9–5 Job & Transition Into Profitable, Sustainable Solopreneuring
- My free online course: 0–500 Email Subscribers Through Writing
- A Free 30-Day Writing Challenge
- 350+ business ideas
- My freelancing proposal template
- Free 1–2–1 consulting calls
- A free “Headlines Masterclass”
- Inspiring content creator stories
- Tips and tools to improve their writing
This isn’t to say how great I am. Nor am I an expert at this stuff.
I’m really not.
