Email marketing is one of the most talked-about growth tools in online business. And yet… So many smart founders struggle to do it consistently. If you’ve ever thought:

  • “If I email more, people will unsubscribe.”
  • “Three emails a week sounds like too much.”
  • “I don’t want to annoy my list.”

This episode will challenge some assumptions in the most refreshing way. We’re following up with one of our most downloaded guest episodes ever and we’re going deeper.

Last time, Holly Haynes shared how owning her brand voice doubled her revenue. In this episode, we unpack what that actually looks like now — specifically how she’s refined her email marketing strategy (with open rates at 52%), leaned further into segmentation, and committed even more intentionally to building a social media optional business.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

  • What’s changed (and what hasn’t) in Holly’s 3–5 email per week rhythm
  • How to make high-frequency emailing feel personal and still increase open rates
  • What she’s doubling down on (instead of expanding to more platforms)
  • What a “micro-partnership” actually looks like (and why it’s more powerful than chasing more opportunities)
  • The shift from dopamine-driven visibility to data-driven growth
  • Where her traffic and clients are really coming from (hint: not social media)
