This Mum Loves Tech Episode 16: Why You’re Not Starting Your Email List (And Why It’s All Lies)

Welcome to the third episode of my four-part email marketing series!

If you’ve ever said…

📩 “I don’t want to be spammy”

📩 “I’ve got nothing to say”

📩 “I’ll start my list when I’m more established”

…this episode is going to bust those beliefs wide open.

Email marketing is one of the most powerful tools you have in your business, and I’m here to show you that it's so much simpler than you think.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

✅ Why being visible isn’t spammy

✅ What to email your list (yes, you DO have something to say!)

✅ How to keep it simple and consistent

✅ Why you shouldn't let the tech hold you back

✅ Why your email list builds your business (not the other way around)
