But in the end, your content copyrighting is too vital to just copy and paste from AI. It NEEDS to be from you, by you and speaking to other humans. And far too often, I am seeing small business owners write emails only when they have something to sell. That's exactly why nobody opens them and your open rates are weak.This week's Office Hours breaks down the copywriting approach Sarah Chan talked about on the podcast, and how you can apply it to your content and email list starting this week.
