Episode description

We recently got the results of a Poll from our Roadmap to $50K Group on Facebook. We asked our members if they send an email every week, and if not, why? The overwhelming majority said: 1) I don't know what to say or, 2) I don't want to bother people. I know that most successful store owners get 40% or more of their sales from email. In fact, even little Sock Doggo gets 35% of our sales from email. I don't want you to lose the opportunity to get sales without spending money on ads, so I created a list of 12 ideas for emails that you can use today. Even better, you can recycle them many times and still get great results.
