Show Notes
If you’re familiar with the StoryBrand framework, the concept of a clear message is nothing new. It’s an approach that positions your reader as the hero and your company as the guide. Instead of talking about an illustrious career or a multitude of product features, you remind the reader that you exist to solve their biggest problem.
Book a strategy session with Mitch at https://tidycal.com/mitch1/60-minute-strategy-session-mitch-alverson There is a cost for this session; however, if you’re not happy with the value I’ll refund your money, AND if we work together I’ll credit the cost to the new project. It’s a no-brainer.

Podcast Transcription from Marketing with Mitch: Breaking down Brand Messaging
Hey, thanks for joining us for this episode of Marketing with Mitch, a daily podcast with a StoryBrand Certified guide where I get in all things marketing to help you win at business, let’s do it.
So, what is your most important marketing tool? Is it your website? Is it TikTok? Could it be facebook? You know what I think it is. Guys. Email email is your most essential marketing tool that’s in your arsenal. Here’s why, your email list is something that you own. Your website likely is too, but channels like social media demand that you play by their rules, and if something were to change tomorrow, you might be limited on what you can do. I mean we’ve seen this happen over and over again: Facebook changes the rules or Google changes their algorithm and traffic changes, right? So if you’re relying on those guys to help you succeed in business now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t but I’m saying that you should be thinking about email as the most important, essential tool in your arsenal for your business. That’s never been more critical or a great time to invest in email marketing.
If you need help getting your email marketing efforts off the ground, try these tips. First, batch your emails, set aside time to write ahead. Writing multiple emails at a time, in batches makes things so much easier. Once you kind of get into the flow or your writing is better, and you can really just what I like to do is say: I’m going to write from ten am to 1045 am and that’s it. Turn everything else off all the distractions and just write. Take a small break and get back at it. And write for another 45 minutes. Here’s the second thing: crowdsource ideas. So what I mean by that is start a swap file for keeping ideas of great emails that you receive or see in the wild. You can store it somewhere, like I use Notion or Evernote or whatever note taking app that you’ve got out there that you want to. You could even now create a folder inside your email client where you can put emails that you really like, and then lastly, third, I will send you this: put a link in the show notes. It’s from a digital marketer and it’s a blog post and it’s titled everything you ever needed to know about email marketing, and so it’s a great source of information for you. All right, then select and stick with an email marketing platform. Now there’s a bunch out there, right? The one that I really like first is the active campaign. I like those guys a lot. I like mailer light. Both of them have free plans that will help you really get going and then once you really start to grow, you can grow into their plans. But I like both of those guys. So if you need personalized help to get your email marketing strategy back on track, then just email me. It’s Mitch at the letter, the number three advisors Dot ORG thanks! Talk to you tomorrow.
