## Resource

If you have an email list you've been ignoring because it feels too small to matter, or you've been sending newsletters that feel good but aren't selling books, this episode is going to change how you think about email entirely. Jenn breaks down why social media and email are not doing the same job, the three most common reasons email lists stop growing, and why a list of 340 people can outsell a social media following of 2,000 when you know what to say. Plus the simple three-email rotation that turns a relationship list into a sales channel.
