FTI #309: Monday's going to be a good day.

On Monday, I'm going to show you how to get more newsletter subscribers in five minutes a day.

If you'd like to learn how, subscribe to my Skill Sessions.

When you do, you'll be invited to join me live (on Zoom) for the workshop on Monday, May 23 at 2 pm PST, where you'll also have a chance to ask questions at the end of the session.

If you can't join live, you'll still get access to watch the Skill Session on demand later.

Plus...

As a Skill Session subscriber you get instant access to my previous sessions (The Content Compass and How To Write Your Most Successful Blog Post Ever) and the next six Skill Sessions I do over the course of the coming year.

And you get it all for less than $20 per Session.

Now, on to this week's ideas...
