How to balance done-for-you services and memberships?

Should you scale into an agency?

Should you pause regular emails during launches?

Importance of personal newsletters?

Personal newsletters help humanize your brand and connect deeply with your audience. Jenny Roth shares how she does this:

Why highlight others in your emails?
