Today we are chatting all things contracts with lawyer Kunbi Odubogun, founder of Legally Set. Kunbi shares tips for evaluating your contract, what clauses she likes to see in every contract, some red flags that maybe it’s time to update your contract, and answers a number of listener questions, such as “What to do when the person paying is not the same person as the client?” I know this happens a lot in the wedding industry. Or, “What is needed when the scope of the work changes?” A big thanks to Kunbi for letting me ask her so many contract related questions, even beyond the questions I sent her in advance.

One of the most effective ways to build trust and create a loyal following is to leverage an email welcome sequence.

These sequences typically consist of a series of automated emails that are triggered upon a user signing up for a newsletter or opting in to receive emails from a business. The reason businesses create them is simple: they work! An effective welcome sequence can build trust, establish a connection with subscribers, and move them towards a purchase decision.

By using a targeted series of emails, businesses can turn new subscribers who are only vaguely familiar with the brand into loyal customers or clients. A well-crafted welcome sequence is a powerful tool in any marketer’s arsenal, and can help to drive conversions, build relationships, and increase revenue.

We cover simple ideas for lead generation, what makes a good lead magnet, and how to actually get people signed up for your list. It’s easier than you think! Your lead magnet doesn’t have to be 3000 pages long and professionally designed. You don’t need more than one lead magnet either. This is something you can get started setting up today, more coming in this episode.

And some of those experiments would make for an interesting, if not comical, podcast episode, at some point.

Today’s episode, however, focuses on one simple way that we were able to get more engagement on social media while also increasing the amount of referral traffic from our social channels to our website. This episode is all about writing effective hooks. It’s one of those simple tweaks that can make a big difference.

Working with a spouse can be a huge blessing. There’s freedom and flexibility, and it’s often fun working together. Krista and I have really enjoyed being able to say yes to adventures that we wouldn’t have been able to go on when we were working our 9-5s. But it can also be challenging.
