The Education Of Martha
Well today I’m learning how to do a Blog so bear with me, I should get better the more I use this.
Since Barry’s death I’ve been taking a crash course in the parts of our business that I didn’t know or work with very much. Our services include web hosting, auto-responder service and a couple of membership sites.
I handled mostly the background things such as the paperwork and was slowly handling the tech support for our customers. Barry was the one that did the mailings and brought in money, now that is what I’m having to learn and very quickly so that I don’t sink and lose everything we have worked for. I’ve already lost my car, which I really loved but it is just a car and one day I will be able to get another one.
Writing emails that make my customers want to buy is one of the hard parts for me to pick up. I like writing but I’m not a very good sales person and that is a skill you need for writing marketing emails. So I’m reading everything I can find so that I can improve this important skill.
I am now comfortable uploading and updating my membership site. I’ve made a few mistakes but the good thing is that I’ve been able to figure out what I did wrong and fix it and when I can’t I have a friend of Barry’s to help me.
