Sent out my 1st Newsletter!
So here I am plugging away. I've been taking the 'recommended' break from the training and have been working on building out my site!
I just had my first people sign up for my newsletter over the weekend, so I scheduled my 1st one to go out in the morning! It was only to 2 people, but it's a start. I figured I'd better be on top of that weekly since I actually have followers! Yea!
Tomorrow, I will get back into the training and I hope to continue to learn and grow in my skills here at WA! I'm so thankful for this community and for this program! I know it's going to be life - changing and sometimes it's hard to sit back and just wait. But I know it takes time and in the meantime, I'm having a lot of fun!
I can't imagine any other business start up being THIS good! (not that I've ever tired to start a business before, lol)
Until tomorrow...

This is great news! What are you using to get people to sign up? What sort of things did you put in your news letter?
Hey! I use mail chimp. I know there are a few others out there too, but I actually have been using mail chimp for years to send out news blasts to my workout classes (I'm an instructor)
I like that mail chimp doesn't require a plugin. I can generate a signup sheet for a particular page, and also a pop up option for anyone who views my site.
In this first newsletter, I did a 'last week at a glance' and linked new articles that went up last week. I also gave a short 'behind the scenes' aka. what I'm working on and what I hope to bring to the table soon (in my case, this is more video/podcasts coming in the future).... I also grabbed an affiliate link that was having a sale this week and included that too as a special offer.
We'll see how it turns out! :)
I have just explored mail chimp--I have their free version for now. I want to learn how to use it before I decide to pay for it. I am just in the beginning stages of setting up my first pop up offer. I created my first recipe book (flip book) using flipsnack software. This will be my free offer when people sign up. Have you ever considered doing a training on how to set up and use mail chimp and setting up a news letter? I bet there would be people interested in such a training.
I still use the free version of mail chimp too! You can use it until you have over 1000 people on your list. (or close to that number)
I think doing a training on it would be a great idea! It actually took me a while because I learned it on my own.
I haven't been inside WA long enough to start doing trainings yet...you have to be here for 3 months before you can do it.
But once August hits, I'll be able to provide tranings on my resources....But for now, if you have a specific question, I'd love to answer it if I can! Just let me know.
Thanks!
