These three pieces are critical to see results from your emails.And wanting results is ok, thinking about the ROI of email is ok. Yes value is critical and we all want to share messages that are going to help our community, but we can also help them with our products and services, and the money is only in the list if we use it wisely. ResourcesJoin the VIP CommunityGet your Backstage PassLearn more about Social ProConnect with MeGet YOUR question on a future episodeEmail me at hello@thestaceyharris.comTweet with me and include #HittheMicBe sure to leave your review on iTunes or Stitcher for a shoutout on a future showSend us a textTired of your podcast feeling like just another thing on your to-do list?

As entrepreneurs we have a lot of information coming at us everyday, and unfortunately so much of it is super valuable. The reality is we want and need to consume this stuff, we have programs, books, memberships (hi Backstage Pass), podcasts, blog posts, and likely more. The tough part comes in when we don't have a lot of time to consume all of it (or any of it). When you're ready to dive in though, how do you make it happen?

Businesses evolve, they just do. It may be because we learn what we love, we learn more about what we do, or just because we decide it's time to make something new. It doesn't matter about the why though, it matters that you deal with it in a way that feels good for you and for your clients.As our brands evolve and our offerings change we also have to revisit that all important ideal client, but how do we deal with those clients that are not ideal anymore? In many cases it's still a really powerful relationship, it's just not a fit moving forward.RM Harrison joins us to talk about exactly that, how to make the most of those relationships moving forward, or walk away in some cases.A little about RM…RM Harrison shows passion-fueled, highly creative and slightly rebellious solopreneurs how to redefine business on their terms. A clarity junkie, RM is obsessed with self-discovery and helping people uncover the truth about how they serve best.Her work combines coaching and business strategy to h

As organic reach has crashed this year more and more people are starting Facebook groups.

I love email marketing, I love that people are invested in the community at a level that allows me to connect right in their inbox. It's something I don't take for granted, and I work hard to build a list that genuinely wants to invest their time in making their online marketing efforts better. Facebook has been critical for that!Today I'm once again pulling back the curtain and sharing the three ways I grow my email list thanks to Facebook.Before that though, please know that Facebook alone isn't how I grow my list, this is simply one piece of the larger puzzle.
