About Us

Hi and welcome to How to do Email Newsletters.
My name is Karen Skidmore and I created this resource for self-employed professionals and home business owners who wanted to create and publish an email newsletter to help attract more clients, but have no idea on how to get started.
After 11 years in corporate life, I first started working for myself in September 2004. I wanted to develop a new career and create a flexible business that would work around my two children, now aged 6 and 8.
Why did I start up this site?
Email newsletters were a tool I began using in my first business, CanDoCanBe. I noticed that many other coaches, consultants and trainers where beginning to embrace this marketing tool and I decided to jump on the bandwagon!
And boy, what a bandwagon it turned out to be. So much choice and so much technology - it really felt quite overwhelming.
But I stuck with it and within 9 months I realised that the email newsletter I was developing was fast becoming the marketing back-bone to my business. 4 years on and my email newsletters make promoting events and marketing products simple and (dare I write this!) incredibly fun.
Would you like to discover the shortcuts and the secrets that I have learnt about creating a successful (and profitable!) email newsletter?
Are you looking for ways to attract more clients whilst not having to work any extra hours?
Well, you have come to the right place.
Subscribe to the RSS feed (you will find a link at the top right column) and sign up for my free Jargon Busting E-course (there is a link at the top left column for this). I promise it is a great way to get started on your own email newsletter.
And leave a comment behind on the articles that you read. It would be great to read your thoughts and answer what questions you may have.
Enjoy the journey and may your email newsletter make your business full of fun and adventure!
Warm regards
Karen Skidmore
