Matt Wolfe of Evergreen Profits provides the best email frequency advice around.

Episode 022: The Best Email Frequency Advice You Need To Hear by Matt Wolfe of Evergreen Profits on Building A List

Joe Fier & Matt Wolfe are the co-founders of Evergreen Profits and absolutely LOVE showing people how simple it really is to get seen online in competitive industries. They get pumped up to share their system of driving targeted traffic that turns into leads and sales to business owners who want to scale (but have failed in the past). They aren't an agency (they're pretty much the anti-agency). They started in business together 13 years ago and haven't stopped learning, testing, and scaling since. They also started their podcasting career in 2010 and it's been their passion ever since. Now they have a fast growing digital marketing podcast called Hustle and Flowchart. It gives listeners an opportunity to learn uncommon ways to live and work that allow for a happier and more profitable life. Today, Matt & Joe focus on growing their show, putting a ton of free value into the world, and investing and advising in digital businesses and podcasts.
