Writers Chat Recap for August, PArt 2

Writers Chat, hosted by Jean Wise, Johnnie Alexander, and Brandy Brow, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!

“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”

Newsletter Lead Magnets

In this episode, our own Jean Wise and Johnnie Alexander share with us about newsletters and lead magnets being essential tools for authors. You might think, but how does one create these and use them for maximum outreach? These two questions are answered and shown in step-by-step demonstrations in MailerLite for newsletter creation and compiling an automated onboarding sequence to deliver a lead magnet to your readers.
