This week on the podcast I am joined by Tyler McCune. Tyler is an email copywriter, and he works a lot in the yoga, wellness and meditation space. Over 5 years ago, Tyler discovered meditation on a 1-month meditation retreat in Taiwan and now he’s an email copywriter who has consulted with both brick & mortar and online clients, including yoga teachers and corporate mindfulness trainers. He is also the author of “Email Emperor” where he teaches his simple email system.
On this episode, Tyler shares his method for communicating with an audience, including how he tells stories, ways that he connects with his readers, how he makes asks and pitches products and services, and tips for yoga teachers and how they can apply this to their businesses.
