I want to make this the most amazing space for YOU!

Okay, confession: I celebrate my birthday for the entire month of June. Zero shame. Full main character energy. So… I thought we should do birthdays properly in here. If you’d like to, drop your birthday (month + day) below. Totally optional. No weird data collection vibes. Just humans celebrating humans. At the start of each month, I’ll post a birthday shoutout so we can celebrate our legends properly. Because business growth is important. But so is joy.

I’m noticing something as we talk about Email Incubator… a lot of the hesitation isn’t about “can I do email?” It’s about where it feels messy. So I’m curious 👇 What’s the one thing that feels most stuck for you right now?

*UPDATE: added blog link for anyone who'd like to read it 😊 I wrote an email and blog yesterday about using opt-out links in your emails, after unsubscribing to someone's list because I wasn't interested in 80 emails about their latest off and they didn't have an opt-out link. One of the things I noticed was that in my own footer - there were no preferences if I clicked on "manage preferences." I did some research and figured out how to update those. And yes, I had pretty much assumed there would be some sort of automatic options. There were not lol. I have learned how to do this for both Flodesk and Kit. I literally just went into the Help page and searched "manage subscriber preferences," so I'd guess something similar would work for other providers. Since a lot of us are going to be focusing on emails, I wanted to share this. I think it's super important to give your readers the choice to opt-out of certain topics but stay on your list. Now if someone clicks on "manage preferences" in my emails, they'll see this handy dandy list of options. https://www.jenfieldman.com/blog/are-you-forcing-your-audience-to-unsubscribe
