It is what it is and this is it

When you're launching or promoting an offer, at some point, pretty early on, you need an email that simply states what the offer is, and why people would want it, Reader As I am on Day 2 of my Marketing On Purpose launch.... that point is now. And, in my humble opinion, the easiest way to do this is to lay it out Q&A style. So....allow me to introduce Marketing On Purpose. Qu: Hey Laura, what’s this Marketing On Purpose thing you keep banging on about? Answer: Thanks for asking completely imaginary potential client. Marketing On Purpose is my 12-week 1-1 mentoring package for people who don’t have a whole lot of time (or energy) to invest in their marketing, and want to feel more confident that what they’re doing is impactful for their business. Qu: If I joined, what would I get? Answer: There are five parts to Marketing On Purpose - you’re welcome to use each element as much or as little as you want. 1 - Weekly prompts to help you plan your marketing activities, and then a form to tell me about it (if you want to - for accountability and cheerleading). 2 - Weekly opportunity to Ask Me Anything - tell me about your tangled dilemma, or choice you need to take, or decision you need to make…. and we can go back and forth via text messages in the portal, all week, until you’ve got clarity and confidence. 3 - Weekly opportunity to request copywriting feedback - Use the portal to send me your marketing content, sales copy, emails, website page - whatever you want my eyes on - and I’ll get back to you with feedback and suggestions that make that piece of copy better AND helps you write better copy in the future. 4 - Weekly opportunity to record your Tiny Triumphs - so you can see, and tell me about, the progress you’re making - so important for establishing confidence and momentum in your marketing. 5 - 3 months access to all my copywriting resources and online marketing courses - to help you do whatever you’ve got planned over the next 12 weeks. Qu: How much is it? Answer: £595 (or you can split into 3 payments of £200). Qu: OK, I’m more than a little bit curious, but not ready to buy yet - what should I do? Answer: First, go check out all the details, and the behind-the-scenes video over on the Marketing On Purpose sales page. Then, if you’re still interested but you’ve got questions, or want some reassurance around whether this is right for you and your business right now, jump into my Voxer inbox (or reply to this email). Send me a text or voice message whenever is good for you, and I’ll get back to you the next time I’m working. There’s no pressure - that’s not how I sell - just friendly conversation. Qu: Can I borrow this email structure and use it the next time I'm promoting something? Answer: Absolutely! Info presented in this Q & A style is often much easier for a reader to process than a regular sales page, and is a smart way to introduce your subscribers to a new offer - go for it. |

It’s not that you don’t have the time or energy to do your marketing, Reader But that time and energy feel so precious, it feels scary to use it. You tell yourself that you should send that email, post that Reel, or create that lead magnet.... ...while simultaneously worrying that it's not the right thing to work on, it’s a waste of time, and nobody wants your marketing content (their inboxes are already crowded). When you’re trapped in that ‘I need to do this, but what’s the point’...
I considered applying for a job Reader It’s very rare that I see a job that is even a tiny but appealing to me, but for about 3 seconds this weekend, an assistant manager role at our local nature reserve did look quite attractive. The salary was similar to what I pay myself now, and the hours were a little more than I currently work. Then I remembered that on Monday I was taking Flossie (the world’s fluffiest tabby cat) to the vet for her annual check-up and vaccinations. We haven't snuggled...
Just as with any other domestic project, I was less than 50% through cleaning the sofa when my initial enthusiasm wore off and I decided I didn’t want to do it anymore Reader 🙄 I'd been so excited to use my new upholstery cleaning machine. And initially watching the suds shoot out, then the dirty liquid get sucked back up again was entertaining enough to keep me going… and then suddenly it wasn’t. Normally at this juncture, I would cry and wait for my husband to rescue me with tea, sympathy,...
