Many of you send me REALLY good questions, sometimes via email and often on Instagram.
I generally reply with voice notes and emails, but I wanted others in this community to learn from your excellent questions!
I will start with a more recent question and continue this, if you all find it useful.
1- Please reply here to let me know if you find value in this
2- You can also reply and send your questions, I will keep them anonymous and answer them as best as I can, like this :)

Your Questions & Answers
I don't have enough time :(
Hi There!
I am replying to answer your question: What is your BIGGEST struggle with building an email community?
But first, I wanted to say that, like your other readers, I also open most of your emails because they come across as personal, like you're talking directly to me or we already know each other. You have one of the best newsletters out of all the "blog helpers" I follow.
I have unsubscribed to a few people I like because their newsletters are so spammy and salesy too often.
I appreciate your personal stories, the stats you share, the subtle way you boost your reader's confidence, and your cat.
I'm so glad I came across your feed on Instagram a few years back:) My biggest struggle is that I can't get myself to start the ball rolling. I signed up for Convertkit (well, Kit, now) in June but never did anything with it.
I work full-time in a restaurant, so the time I spend on my blog is limited. I fear starting it up and finding that it takes too much time to keep up.
So then I think, well, I can gather the email addresses now and worry about the newsletter later, but I am at a loss for an enticing freebie that will be reasonably easy to create for my niche.
Some of the links in the email are affiliate links. You received this email because you signed up for my newsletter, for a freebie, or purchased one of my products or courses.
