If you're a long term listener of the podcast, you might remember in episode 1 I recommended four marketing methods for introverts - blogging, Pinterest, social media content and my favorite of all - email marketing.

In this episode, we'll dive into:

• Why email marketing is the best way to make sales, in my opinion
• If you really can email people too much
• Using your emails to connect with your audience
• Testing what your audience prefers and why it's so important
