Hey Reader, It's too hot in Greece in August. Nobody should ever come here during this month. We're only here because it's my father-in-law's 70th birthday, and he insisted on gathering the troops for a celebration. Given that it's too hot to think, I thought I'd dip into my Loom archives for today's newsletter and share a few snackable lessons I've shot over the past few years. I hope you enjoy! ​Lesson 1: Storytelling on LinkedIn​ Length: 2:57 ​Lesson 2: Broad to narrow hooks ​ Length: 6:31 ​Lesson 3: You vs. I content​ Length: 6:42 Cheers, Erica PS. I'm thinking about creating a paid newsletter option (will keep the free one of course), where you can submit your work to me and I edit it & share the breakdowns via Loom videos. I'd also get guest editors into the ring for "edit off's" so you can see how different editors change things, and why. It'd be around $9/month. ​If you're interested, click this link to let me know. Check out my 3 courses that 1700+ people have taken, loved, and gotten meaningful results from: 1. Long to Short: Turn one long-form piece into a month's worth of posts.

Packed with lessons, examples, and a roadmap so you can stop second-guessing your writing & editing decisions.
