Hi all! I’m just getting started with my business, so I’m wondering what tools we’re using for things like email marketing, product hosting, website building, calendar scheduling, etc.. I’ve been trying out HighLevel for a while, but honestly, it’s a lot, and I’m not sure if I’m the biggest fan of some of the features. I would love tool recommendations from the community!

Hello all! Something I've been thinking about a lot lately as I try to intentionally build my email marketing is HOW to add value. (Particularly when it comes to education.) People are so inundated with all kinds of information that I'm not sure how to figure out what is valuable to them versus what will just be more white noise. I think a survey would be helpful in this, but I'm not quite there yet. I sometimes ask questions in my emails, but I usually only get a few responses. How do you make sure what you're sending is valuable to your audience?

Wow, it’s Q3! Took a little time to watch a couple of @Kylie Kelly ’s email starter kit videos. So easy to digest! I’m definitely in the growth stage, so I picked several strategies from that side of the V2 framework to focus on over the next 90 days. I want to keep networking (already leaning into this) and commit to applying to guest speaking + aligned summits & podcasts. I know that’s kind of a lot, but right now my list is <100 and I’ve been down to once a month emailing because I don’t really get any replies (and never any sales). Which is tough for me since I specialize in messaging 😔 BUT it was an encouraging reminder that I probably only need to double my list size with ideal subscribers to move in the right direction! 💪

One of the goals of this intensive was to get your interactive offer out into the world - so let's do exactly that. On 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟭𝘀𝘁, I'll be sending an email to my email list featuring member-created interactive tools from this intensive. 🎉 If you'd like yours included, drop the following below: ✅ The name of your tool ✅ A 1-2 sentence description of what it helps people do ✅ Your opt-in page link (not the direct GitHub or Claude link) A couple of guidelines: ✨ Make sure the opt-in page is complete and working ✨ Make sure the tool is connected and accessible after opting in ✨ Test everything before submitting it ✨ Please submit by June 30 so I have time to test the links, review everything, and put the email together before it goes out on July 1. This isn't a competition and it doesn't need to be perfect. If you've built something useful, I'd love to help get some eyes on it. 💜 Let's celebrate what you've created and get these tools in front of thousands of business owners who are actively looking for new ideas, resources, and solutions 🙌 p.s A dedicated email feature like this would normally be a paid opportunity (I currently charge $250+ for sponsored placements). Consider this my thank-you for showing up, building something, and actually taking action. 💜

Yep. This is officially a thing. Both Kit + Flodesk are rolling out AI integrations that let you connect tools like ChatGPT / Claude directly to your email platform. Meaning you could potentially ask things like: ✨ “Which of my emails got the most clicks?” ✨ “Draft a welcome sequence for new subscribers.” ✨ “Show me inactive subscribers I should re-engage.” ✨ “What patterns do you notice in my top-performing emails?” VERY cool. Also… mildly terrifying? 😂 Because depending on the platform, AI may be able to actually take action - not just give suggestions. I recorded a quick video breaking down: - what this actually means (in normal human language) - why it could be amazing for beginners - what I personally would NOT let AI touch yet 😅 - whether this is genuinely useful… or just shiny object energy Question for you: 👇 Would you actually connect AI to your email platform? Team YES 🙋‍♀️ Team ABSOLUTELY NOT 🚩 Team “I need to watch this video before I decide” 😂
