Ep 29 – Email Content Strategy: What to Send & When

Introduction 

You’ve set up your welcome sequence – now what?

Many new business owners hit a wall after their initial automation is in place. They’re not sure what to send next, how often to show up in their subscribers’ inboxes, or how to balance valuable content with promotional emails.

The result? They either overwhelm their list with daily sales pitches or ghost their subscribers for months at a time.

In this episode, we’re creating a long-term email strategy that actually works.

You’ll learn the three main types of emails every business should send, how often to email your list (and why consistency matters more than perfection), real-life examples of each content type, and tips for staying organised and inspired to write each week.

This is about building a rhythm that serves your audience and grows your business without burning you out.
