One More Use

My challenge to myself
is to use
everything
one more time.

I pay monthly
for a newsletter service,
for example.

I always send one newsletter
a month.

I challenge myself
to send an additional newsletter.

That doesn’t cost
anything more than time and effort.
My subscribers like
receiving the additional newsletter.
And I gain more book sales.

I do this with things like packaging also.
I wash the tiny takeout sauce containers
and use them for seeds.
I use the resealable food packages
to hold stickers or pens.
I use larger takeout containers
to store leftovers.

I try to use everything
one more time.
And those little cost savings add up
over the year.

Use everything
one more time.

Promote Your Newsletter

As another social media platform
changes leadership,
this is a good time
to market the sh*t
out of your newsletter.

EVERY business should have
a newsletter.
That is direct contact
with customers and prospects
WE control.

I download my list
of subscribers every month
so I can switch newsletter providers
at any time.

Post links to
newsletter sign up pages
on every social media platform.
Add that information
at the bottom of every invoice/receipt,
every message.

Then offer unique content
with your newsletter,
something people can only receive
if they subscribe.
This could be tips or advice
or coupons or anything else
your customers would value.

Build your newsletter.
MARKET your newsletter.
It is your most powerful promotional tool
and it is all yours.
