Michael Katz – Create Exceptional Email Newsletters

Quickly learn a step-by-step approach to developing an exceptional email newsletter for your solo professional business.

This course is for you if…

• … you work solo. As a solo, you have a huge marketing advantage… it’s called YOU. You’ll learn how to tell stories, use your authentic voice, express a point of view, and stand out from the crowd of competitors.
• … you sell a professional service. You’re an attorney, financial planner, consultant, coach, recruiter, writer, advisor, etc. Any field in which trust is an essential part of being hired. You’ll learn how to stand out as a knowledgeable, friendly, likeable expert.
• … you cringe at the thought of “hard selling.” Me too. This course is the opposite of that. I’ll show you how to make the phone ring by creating and sharing content that helps prospects and others notice you, sample you, share you, and call you.
• … you’re really good at whatever it is you do. But, like me in 2000, you need help getting more of the clients you want.

There’s nothing “hard sell” about a newsletter

Your newsletter is like a magazine. It’s not a sales pitch and it’s not an advertisement. Done well, it’s not even really about you – it’s about offering useful information that prospective clients want to read. That’s the formula that makes it so effective.

So, like creating a magazine, we’ll be working on three parts: Content (the words), Format (the way it looks) and Delivery (the mechanism for sending it to people).

We’ll go step-by-step through each part, diving deep on all of it. And don’t worry – while there are many elements, once you have it explained and you see it laid out in front of you, you’ll find that none of it is all that complicated.
