And we are back! After a short post-Summit haitus, Lynne and Rachel are back with a new season and a great guest. And it's all about personality-driven email newsletters. Emails are having their moment in the sun right now - they don't rely on algorithyms that could change quickly or at the whim of a social media mogul and, when done well, can create a powerful conversation between companies and their clients. This week, journalist and content creator Steven Lewis talks all about creating email newsletters for yourself or clients. He talks about:

It's just a few days before the biggest event of the year (in our calendars anyway!). It's time for The Content Byte Summit. Hosts Rachel & Lynne talk about the impressive line-up of speakers and all the panels and presentations they are looking forward to seeing this year.
Some of the presentations include how to:
→ find new high-paying clients in your niche → hear how to tweak your website to make it work better for you → find out what editors want (and meet three who commission!) → create digital products for an extra income stream → map out a freelance marketing plan you CAN stick to → write sales pages (and charge serious money) → hone your interviewing / storytelling skills (in an AI world) → shore up your systems and processes (SAVING you big $$$) → get all the pricing + money tips from two of the best in the biz
AND SO MUCH MORE.
And we might both be biased, but it's probably the best thing you'll do for your business this year.
The Content Byte Summit starts on Thursday 12 September, continuing to Saturday 14 September. Snap up one of the last remaining tickets (in person or virtual) at our website: https://thecontentbytesummit.com.au
