don't do promo without this


Can I use your credit card to buy something off a random website?

Not my favorite words to hear hollered up from my husband's office.


But a black week pre-access deal must be had on some sketchy table tennis app (and for some reason my amex won't flag it).

The Black Friday countdown deals feel mad early this year.

Maybe you're in the midst of creating your own offers but not sure what all needs to get done.

So I've got you covered with my Black Friday Offer Checklist - a free Google Sheet template.

This quick sales promo checklist will work best if you're selling something you've already created (like an online course or digital product). But you can totally use it to sell a future event (like a workshop or bootcamp).

Here's how it works:

  1. Click this link to use the template.
  2. Edit the dates, content and notes to your heart's content. Feel free to add and remove items - everything listed is a suggestion.
  3. When you're done with a task, click the checkbox to mark it as finished.
  4. When you're done, go back and update the checklist with things you want to add or change the next time you sell your offer.

you've got this,
Michelle

I'm usually slow to try something out, but when I get it, I get it. This simple tool might have just changed my life. I've been hearing about WisprFlow* from friends for a couple of months but I'm one of those people that puts things on my to-do list to look at later.Later turned out to be today.On average it takes me about one to two hours to write my regular newsletter. Write it, edit it, cut out what I don't need, format and test it. Have an existential crisis if my writing is any good and...

Need help going to sleep?Check out the email marketing subreddit.It's dry as toast and often yawn inducing, but reading forums and trade newsletters is how I stay on top of the latest tech issues.Like what's causing your emails to end up in spam.You can have all the things set up correctly (DKIM, SPF, DMARC etc.***) and still have your emails stuck in the void.If you're like me and want to avoid your artisanal copy from ending up in inbox purgatory (or want to help your clients avoid it)...

I opened the envelope and muttered "he knows I've been putting this off."It was a letter from the lawyer who created our family trust and medical directives.It's so simple - a quick note asking if anything has changed in our lives and if we'd like him to review our files for a low fee. And of course we need to update beneficiaries (not exactly the most fun of tasks, so it's been on my to-do list for months two years).It's probably one of the smartest things he does for his business -...
