Episode 13 : How to get off the email struggle bus
03/15/22 • 17 min
We all have a lot of baggage around writing emails to our customers and so many of us know how effective they are. We know that stats say that emails are 40 times more likely to sell our products than social media. We've heard how amazing email is at selling products, but for some reason we don't seem to be able to get ourselves started and put ourselves out there.
And I was the same when I started on email. I had this feeling that I was bugging my customers. I didn't want to be sending them an email every single week just saying here's a product, here's a product, here's a product, because it just felt so cold and empty and I just didn't want to be feeling icky when I was selling my products.
And to be honest, I didn't have that many products. So if I was going to be selling constantly, I didn't have that much to talk about, so it would get pretty boring. That's why I resisted sending emails to my customers for a long time. And what changed everything for me is realizing that I could talk about anything in my emails.
Find out how I write emails that my customers love in this episode of Creative Slurp.

Episode 14: The BIG secret about your About Page
If you hate talking about yourself, then approaching writing an about page for your website is probably way, way down on your list of priorities. It's probably on that list of things you know you really have to do. But really, do we have to do it right now? Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after that. And you know what? We all know that tomorrow never comes.
So why is writing an about Page so difficult? Well, if you're an introvert, as so many creatives are, it can be really hard trying to sell yourself when you're trying to put yourself out there and it can feel really uncomfortable. So in this episode, I'm going to talk about why you do need a good about page and a few tips on how to create one.
To find out more about my about page writing service (where I actually write it for you!) or when I'm launching my About Page mini-courses, then just drop me a line. You can get in touch here.
