Ep #90: Mastering Email Outreach with Bree Hester

Do you ever feel flabbergasted about your email list? Sure, it’s one thing to build that list, but it’s quite another thing when mastering email outreach. What do you say? How do you say it? Today Bree Hester is on the show sharing her experience. Also, we have resources on how to build your email list and these top email marketing tips.

Today’s guest, Bree Hester of the site, Baked Bree (see link below) and we’re talking about mastering email outreach. Because if you want to stay in touch with your audience and you’re not so fond of social media, communication through the email list may just be the way to do it! ,

It’s the same thing with your blog. You can create amazing content, but unless you promote it correctly, or set up ways that others will want to promote for you, no one will know it’s there. It’s like a tree falling in the woods. If no one’s there to hear it, does it really make a sound?

Look, if you love social media, it can be a great way to get your lovely content out there and seen! But if you find yourself in camp #hatesocialmedia then you need to know there is another way. And that’s what Bree is talking with us about today, how she used her email list and outreach to them as an alternative to social media.

Our goal at ChoppedCon is to help you be your best. We hope this discussion on mastering email outreach is helpful to the important work you’re doing every day!

Now, go forth and Be Your Best You!
