Hey, hey, hey! Liz Wilcox here, your favorite (and accidentally snarky) email marketer, fresh off a writing retreat—and let’s be honest, I didn’t write a single word of fiction. Instead, I did what I do best: actual work, specifically BATCHING newsletter content so I can finally take a dang summer off!

In this episode, sparked by a real question in the Email Sound Booth Facebook group, I spill all the juicy behind-the-scenes deets on exactly how I organize, plan, and batch my newsletters. Spoiler: there’s a lot of Google Drive, calendar sleuthing, and me promising myself not to touch my sweater (sorry about those weird desk sounds if you’re an audio purist).

Inside This Episode:

• My no-fluff process for batching content for the whole year (yes, summer vacation is possible, people!)

• How to set up a Google Drive system for your newsletters and promo emails—folders, docs, the works

• The weird stuff Patricia (my awesome team member) and I track on the calendar so nothing falls through the cracks (hello, affiliate promos)

• My step-by-step workflow to plan out content for every single newsletter and special promo in under an hour

• Why you don’t have to be fancy—you can totally do this with pen and paper if you’re feeling retro

• A shout-out to batching hacks like using my templates and ChatGPT (you know I love a good shortcut)

• A quick pep talk if you still have writer’s block and a not-so-humble invite to join my Email Marketing Membership (it’s $9 a month, and it’ll save you from content overwhelm FOREVER)
