** What we covered in this call**
In this group call, we continued to talk one of the key ingredients of book marketing: your author newsletter and focus on what happens once someone joins your author newsletter: the Welcome Sequence.
I used ChatGPT, using Trent's book as an example, and my welcome sequence for my sci-fi mystery, as illustrations.
