Creating an online review management strategy
This Saturday marks 3 years of this Coffee Marketing newsletter. That’s 3 years of consistently sending this out every two weeks! 🎉 If you ever enjoy an issue, I appreciate the thumbs up at the end, a forward to someone you think would also like it, and/or any quick replies on content ideas. It’s usually radio silence on my issues so I never know if the content is resonating or not. Thanks for joining in on my newsletter journey. I might be doing something special for the next issue to properly celebrate 3 years.
In other news, I’m going to do a reading of my work (my first time ever)! It’ll be on Sept. 5 in Oakland and the full version of this piece. I’m nervous but it’ll be among a group of local writers, so it’ll at least be to a supportive audience.
