We talk a lot about mistakes on this podcast. This time, I want to talk about how to do something right.Instead of our usual interview, I delve into the art and science of effective email marketing following recent deliverability updates from major email providers like Google and Yahoo.I share to ensure your emails continue to reach your subscribers' inboxes, and I give you the scoop on list cleaning, making unsubscribing easy, maximising subscriber engagement, nurturing subscribers, and sending targeted, relevant emails.I did this presentation as a webinar for The Marketing Meetup, a community of 50,000 marketers last month.

When Steve Folland’s *only* client let him go, he’d just quit his full-time job to go all in on his audio and video editing business. Being jobless and clientless couldn’t have come at a worse time. Steve’s wife had just gone on maternity leave and they had a brand new (4-month-old) baby – plus an older child too! In this conversation, Steve – also the host of the ‘Being Freelance' podcast – shares his entrepreneurial journey, how he diversified his skills and services, and what he learned from his biggest business mistake.

Self-made millionaire Jordan Gill opens up about her biggest mistake — overhiring for her coaching programme. Jordan tells us how overhiring meant she had to lay off the majority of her employees, how it caused clients to call her reputation into question, and how it led to her shutting down her Done in a Day programme – a programme that brought in 90% of her company’s revenue.
