18: Missing Lisbon, discovering email marketing & nerdy website talk

Author: Nicole Griebe April 7, 2024 Duration: 26:36

Hey party people,

in this episode, I talk a bit about Lisbon and allll the reasons why I can't wait to go back, find an apartment, and finally create a home for my partner and me.

I also go a bit deeper into my to-do's of the week, and the new software / tools I have started using for my email marketing setup and client inquiry process.

The last third contains some nerdy web design talk and the reason why I decided to create a temporary 1-page website instead of showing my old one plus some pros and cons about different website builders, for you and your clients.


See you next week! 🧡

You’ll hear about the small victories that make it all worthwhile, alongside the inevitable client puzzles and creative blocks that are part of the journey.
