This episode of our Summer Guest Series features one of the most talented people I've had the pleasure of meeting in this online space- Mrs. Abbi Perets!
Abbi's been in the online entrepreneur game for 20 years and I love all of the insight she brings to this episode. She is the queen of copywriting, so naturally we discuss copywriting and emails- two things every service provider should at least be somewhat aware of!
Abbi Perets writes email people actually enjoy reading. If you want to learn how to get your courses, services, and products in front of the people who need them most, Abbi can help. She’s a copywriter with 25 years of experience working with some of the biggest brands in the world, and she’s kind of obsessed with email.
In this episode, Abbi is breaking down:
when you need to put an email list together
why email is important to any business owner (even if you don't have your own email list yet)
how to write emails (and copy in general) that people actually want to read
