If you’re a member of my newsletter family, you should have received your July goodie from me this week. ♥
I hope you enjoyed the inspirational content, as well as book updates, recipes, vignettes, and pretty pictures. My monthly e-newsletters are a labor of love, and I’m thrilled to share my world with you!
To my new subscribers, I’d like to extend a warm welcome—Welcome to My Newsletter Family!
If you jumped on board after my July newsletter made its way to inboxes, and you’d still like one, please reach out and let me know. I’ll be happy to send you one. This month’s newsletter is info-packed! (Click-to-Tweet)
Each month I gather my favorite, uplifting content and plug it into an easy-to-read format. I strive to bring you my best. Vulnerabilities and all.
Here’s the thing.
- I love to create.
- I love to encourage.
- I love to motivate.
- I love to share good things.
Books and book news are important, too, of course, but it all begins with relationship first.
This is my general life philosophy. If you’ve followed me on social media for a while, then most likely, you already know this. (Click-to-Tweet)
Developing relationships with my readers is huge.
Life isn’t just a “numbers” game. But here’s the reality >>> Until we care, others won’t share.
Authors hope to connect with readers. We hope readers will buy our books and share our books with others.
This is one reason I have an author newsletter. As with any career, we must make a living. To be successful at what we do, we must write and sell books. No shame in that.
Still, if all we do is “market,” we dilute our intended message. We devalue our readers.
By now, we all get that, right?
Why, then, are newsletters important?
- Newsletters bring value to the table.
- Newsletters communicate concern for our readers.
- Newsletters multiply good thoughts!
- They make others’ lives better.
- They offer something that can’t be found elsewhere.
- They say I like you.
I don’t want to be Annie Author and share similar content.
That’s not why readers subscribe to author newsletters. Readers crave variety. They also want to feel like an author’s content is specifically geared toward them—and what they (our newsletter family members) care about. (Click-to-Tweet)
Copying Annie Author’s style, format, and content won’t score brownie points. Again, that dilutes an author’s message, brand, and art.
I prefer to sail my own ship.
Again, I want to grow my numbers by “growing” others first. Paying it forward always mushrooms.
Also, I won’t jump on the bandwagon because it seems like the thing to do or because everyone else is doing it.
I want to create something new and unique, especially for you.
Folks will ditch fake, but a genuine heart resonates.
I would love for you to share my newsletters with others. If something resonates with you, please forward those babies to friends and family. Please encourage your sphere of influence to join us each month as we keep the encouragement rolling!
Thanks so much for your support. From the bottom of my heart, I so appreciate it!
