Suosdey Reader 👋

It's the start of Aquarius season + I'm finally ready to share a bit of my plan for 2024!

But first! This is going to be the last email you're getting from mary@marychhea.com.

Last fall, I changed my business name to reflect the spirit of saying HELLO to customers, collaborators + co-conspirators YOUR way.

And now Google + Yahoo are implementing some changes that will make your inbox a MUCH happier place!

ICYMI, businesses like me + you (if you send a newsletter to folks who opted in to hear from you) must have a verified domain to send newsletters. More details here.

Which all means, starting Feb 1, I'll be sending emails from sayhello@suosdeystudios.com.

If you want to keep in touch, hooray! I can't wait to nerd out about energy-efficient social media, fangirl-worthy messaging + resources to help you reach more customers without a ton of extra work.

Here are some things you can do to make sure we stay in touch:

1. Add the new email address (sayhello@suosdeystudios.com) to your contact list.
2. Add the new email address to your safe senders list (here's how in Gmail and Outlook).
3. Hit reply to this email + tell me you got it!

And, if you no longer want to hear from me, just click https://preview.convertkit-mail2.com/unsubscribe. I'll still be cheering you on! (Be sure to save your 19 Minute IG Sales DIY Promotional Planner, which is probably how we found each other!)

K, grown-up business owner stuff outta the way!

I LOVE January Capricorn season because people tend to be in an inspired, fresh, dreamy state with a healthy dose of get sh*t done energy.

This year I want to accomplish...

My word of the year is...

One thing I'm giving up this year is...

Welp, here's one thing I'm NOT giving up this year:

SOCIAL MEDIA TEMPLATES.

Templates save at LEAST 15 minutes per post, which helps when my team + are are batching 20+ posts per month for our clients.

And it saves me twice that when I'm making my own IG posts.

• Templates kick start my creative brain when I need to write my own content.
• They help me stay focused on my message instead of getting lost in design.
• Good templates shortcut my content creation process by 50%.

I recommend creating your own video + graphic templates to 100% stand out on the For You Page.

But if you lack design skills like me, customizing stock templates from design-forward creators like Pixistock* is a fine place to start.

If growing your email list is a priority for 2024, you MUST check out Liz Wilcox's killer Email Marketing Membership* for simple weekly email templates. (This email is one of them!)

My favorite social media templates come from Katie Goebel's Quick Vids Trends Report.

It's perfect for solopreneurs + side hustle heroes who want to use short form social media videos to grow their organic reach + snag sales.

Every report includes 6 TikTok + IG reels trends (that you can record in <3 takes) plus 30 messaging hooks to help you stand out in the crowd of short videos.

You can even use them on your own stock videos, like I did for my client @sidekickcoo here, here + here.

It's one small way my team + I help our clients achieve energy-efficient social media marketing.

What's something you're not giving up in 2024 Reader? Hit reply + let me know so I cheer you on!

#fangirlallday,
Mary
