Hey Reader,

Over the last few weeks, we've talked about what email marketing actually is, how it's different from your email service provider, and even how to choose the right platforms for your business.

If you missed any of those, you can check them out here.

But before I hang up my hat on this email conversation... there's one more thing I need to cover.

Because none of that other stuff matters if you're still letting these myths talk you out of actually doing it.

Here's an overview of what's covered:

Using regular Gmail for business is hurting your credibility more than you realize
Email marketing is actually MORE important for small businesses than big ones
You don't need thousands of subscribers for email marketing to be worth it
Social media has NOT replaced email, and building on rented land is risky
Most of the shared myths aren't about facts...They're about fear.

Let's dive into it...

I am sharing six of the most common email marketing myths I hear from small business owners, and more importantly, what to do instead.

Because the businesses that grow are the ones that invest in proper systems, even when it feels uncomfortable.

They choose strategy over shortcuts.

They build infrastructure that supports growth instead of duct-taping solutions together that end up breaking under pressure.

The right tool is the one that works FOR YOU

Hey Reader, There seems to be a lot of acquisitions, mergers, and buyouts in the tech space, especially in the last few years. A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from Loom letting me know they were being absorbed into their parent company's platform. Then... a few days later, another email landed in my inbox, and yep, it was a price increase notification. There's a lot of that going on too... Now, I've been using Loom for over five years. And for me, it's comfortable. It's familiar. But...

You know you can ask me, right?

Hey Reader! I hope this email finds you soaking up the last little bit of summer. As it is winding down for me and getting really real that it's pretty much over since my kid started school back today, I am shifting out of summer mode. 😢 As I sat down to write this week's email, I thought about how I see people online all the time saying they wish they had more business friends.
