Are you frustrated every time you try to reach your audience via social media? There's truly a better way - and we're sharing why you MUST start using it if you haven't already. While it's getting harder and harder to handle all the social media apps and hacks, email is still the best way to connect with the people God wants you to reach online. In this episode we explore three reasons why you may not have started an email list and why each of them prevents you from taking advantage of huge opportunities to authentically reach your audience. Whether you've been avoiding email for a long time, have just been confused on how to use it effectively, or if you've been working on a list but haven't seen the benefits yet, this episode will help you commit to this essential connection strategy, so that your tribe can experience the transformation, guidance and inspiration that only you can give them!
