Do you ever feel like you're doing all the marketing things, and still none of it connects? Your reader may be feeling that same way, riding the struggle bus and looking for what to try next.

226. Know your why before choosing your freebie to grow your author email list

Over the last few episodes, we’ve talked about how podcasting, as a guest or as a host, helps you get your freebie or your newsletter in front of new-to-you women. But before we go any further into freebie specifics, let’s slow down and think about your why and your who. That's important first because those answers shape which freebie is actually the right one.
