While there are tons of newsletter writing tips out there, very few people have time to both blog and write a newsletter. What’s a busy business owner to do? Leverage your content, of course!
Here’s the premise: you spend a lot of time writing, filming video plus editing, and refining your blog content. And while you might think that everyone reads your blog, very few people keep your site open and hit refresh every few minutes to see if you’ve posted something new.
