Raise your hand if you would rather do anything else other than sending an email to your email list?

I used to feel the same way until I found Kate Doster. Kate is the host of the podcast Inbox Besties that helps coaches, bloggers, and course creators with list building, email marketing, funnels, and passive income products.

In this episode Kate shares:

• her story getting fired and later becoming a mompreneur
• tips for selling using email without feeling sleazy
• what's a freebie and how to use it to not only build your email list but ultimately make money
• how she built a team and the question to ask to determine where you need help in your business

If you're ready to take your business to the next level or you want to do better with email marketing, Kate is your girl. And this is the episode that will help with that.

ABOUT KATE
Kate Doster is the host of the Inbox Besties Podcast, creator of the Love Your List 2.0 email marketing mega course, and is dangerously obsessed with helping ethical entrepreneurs carve out their slice of the interwebs by wooing the hearts (and wallets) open of their small but mighty audiences thanks to fun email marketing and Easy Yes mini-offers.

She believes you don’t need to bleed the alphabet or be a dirty rotten spam face to write emails that jolt subscribers into taking action, gobbling up your paid offers like candy… or kale if that’s your thing.
