Helloooooooo September 2023! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had started creating a page on my website for it, but I never got back to it and guess what that particular application asked for? 

 

 

 

But then, I wrote a killer cover letter, and did the best I could to share links to projects, blog posts, and articles inside the letter.

 

I put my best foot forward based on what I had to work with because I didn't want to go online the next day only to find out the company was no longer taking applications. (Because that happens quite often these days).

 

So I submitted it and promptly got back to working on my portfolio page in WordPress. I'm going to have three sections that look like the pic below. 

 

One for writing, one for email samples, and one for digital products I've created. Simple but still a good little peek at “me”.

 

 

 

As promised, I'm not asking you to reply with the answer. But perhaps it will help you choose something that will help YOU and your business this month (or your job search).

 

 

First, if you've been thinking about creating or rewriting your email welcome series, consider including details on how to safelist or whitelist your (newsletter) email address. 

 

This is a step a new subscriber can take to make sure your emails don't go to the spam or junk folder, and thus Google and the like know your emails are important to the receiver. (Important stuff for deliverability).

 

You can also throw this info into ANY email, even as a PS if you want.

 

Here's a link to a very thorough AWeber article listing all of the details. (Click here).

 

 

 

Second, if you can't think of anything, consider doing what Karley with Bud to Bloom Marketing does.

 

At the beginning of every month, she shares a carousel post on Instagram letting her followers know how they can work with her that month. (She also pins it to the top row so it's the first thing visitors see when viewing her account.) 📌

 

I think it's brilliant, not even slightly pushy, and informative and helpful to existing clients as well as potential new clients considering her services.

 

NOW, If you're a product based business, you can do a “What's New in September" post. 

 

And if you're a realtor, you can show a “First new listing of September" post.

 

The point is, Karley's idea is a good one and one that you can easily make your own. (Get those creative juices flowing!)

 

 * Bonus, people will see your face, no matter what, once a month, which is good for your business.

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy your week, First name / friend!
