Hi Friend,

Happy Tuesday!


Email marketing can be confusing as a novelist wanting to reach their readers.


But it doesn't have to be that way!


I'm with Liz Wilcox when she says keep it simple, baby! (I'm sure she's said something like that!)


Okay, who is this Liz Wilcox person anyway?


She runs the Email Marketing Membership that I'm in and is running an absolutely free list building learning event today through Thursday, March 13.


She calls herself the Fresh Princess because she brings the energy and the fun. (And yes, because she LOVES Fresh Prince!)


I was already a big believer in email when I met Liz and her material. But I was really excited about joining in because:


  1. She has so much enthusiasm about email marketing.

  2. She makes it simple.

  3. She is a great model for grassroots marketing -- triple win!


Systems and fun!


I also love that she gives tons of examples, and she encourages each of us to make it our own. My kind of gal!


Anyway, enough unsolicited praise from me. (I am an affiliate, though there's no direct upsell, only an indirect one - to her $9/month Email Marketing Membership.)


Check out her list building event that starts today.


What I love about this event is that it's audio only.


So you can listen wherever you go, whatever you're doing, walking the dog, commuting, bringing the kids to school, sitting on the couch with your cat on your lap.


Yes, that's me. And also me walking to and from my café to work on my writing.


❤️


Details:


March 11-13


Via audio on the podcast player of your choice.


Plus, goodies!


Yep, there's no cost to you!

Need more about why list building? Read on!


Do you want to building your reader list but it feels (like Liz shows us above) daunting, exhausting, or complicated?


I feel you... it took me many years to feel like I knew what I was doing with my reader email list...


I do recommend that you start though, if you're publishing soon or you're already published.


As an author, we're always looking for new readers and nurturing them for the long haul.


It's been 3 years since I published a novel. In the interim, I wrote my group monthly. Now I'm write them weekly because I plan to release book 5 in my sci-mystery series later this year.


I've learned a lot from Liz Wilcox email marketing materials and you may too!


As I said earlier, her stuff is fun, simple, and actionable.


Check out her List Building summit coming that starts tomorrow: March 11-13.


Yep, there's no cost to you!
