Creating your Educational Email Course: A Behind-the-Scenes Look
In today’s digital landscape, connecting with your audience is more important than ever. One of the most effective ways to do this is through Educational Email Courses (EECs). I am a premium ghostwriter specializing in crafting courses used by high achieving professionals and business leaders. I work with high achievers who want to reach their clients but aren’t inclined to do the writing themselves, I follow a proven pattern to create content that not only educates your contacts but also converts them into loyal clients. Let me show you how I do it.

Step 1: Understanding You and Your Business
The first step in creating an EEC is getting to know you and your business. I’ll meet with you in person or via Zoom to learn about your unique selling proposition (USP), the challenges you face, and the pain points your audience is experiencing. This conversation is essential because it helps me tailor the content to meet your specific needs and resonate with your audience on a deeper level. It allows me to capture your voice and mannerisms to make this course sound like you.

Step 2: Outlining the Course Structure
After our discussion, I’ll move on to outlining the structure of your course. A typical EEC consists of five emails, each strategically designed to educate your audience while subtly guiding them toward your product or service. I’ll create an outline that includes the main topic of each email, key points to cover, and a compelling call-to-action (CTA) that encourages your readers to take the next step with your business.

Step 3: Crafting the Content
With the outline ready, I begin writing the content. Each email is crafted to deliver value to your readers while reinforcing your USP. My goal is to create content that is educational, engaging, and persuasive without coming across as overly “salesy.” People don’t particularly enjoy being sold but they usually enjoy being educated. By focusing on your audience’s needs and offering actionable insights, I help position your business as a trusted authority in your field.

Step 4: Personalizing the Tone and Style
I understand that your business has its own unique voice, and it’s important that this voice comes through in the content. Whether you prefer a formal, professional tone or a more casual, conversational style, I’ll tailor the emails to reflect your brand’s personality. This attention to detail ensures that the content feels authentic, unique, and aligns with your overall messaging.

Step 5: Integrating the Call-to-Action (CTA)
Each email in the course includes a strategically placed CTA, designed to prompt your readers to take the next step—usually for my professional clients that involves scheduling a consultation. Or you could have a resource available for them to download, or an opportunity to make a purchase. The CTA is seamlessly woven into the content so that it feels like a natural progression from the educational material, making it more likely that your audience will act on it.

Step 6: Reviewing and Refining
Before finalizing the course, I go through a thorough review process. I ensure that the content is clear, concise, and free of errors, and I refine the messaging to maximize its impact. This might involve tweaking the tone, adjusting the structure, or fine-tuning the CTA. The goal is to deliver a polished product that meets your expectations and resonates with your audience.

Step 7: Delivering the Final Product
Once the course is complete, I deliver the final product to you, along with any additional materials you might need, such as subject lines or preview text. I also provide guidance on how to set up the course in your email marketing platform, ensuring that it runs smoothly from start to finish.

The Results: Building Trust and Driving Conversions
By the end of this process, you’ll have an Educational Email Course that does more than just educate—it builds trust with your audience and drives conversions. By delivering valuable content that addresses your readers’ pain points and presents your product or service as the ideal solution, these courses are highly effective at turning leads into loyal customers.

Creating an Educational Email Course is both an art and a science. By following my structured approach, I’m able to produce content that is both engaging and effective. If you’re looking to connect with your audience and grow your business, an EEC might be just what you need.

Every email I write is designed to be more than just another message in an inbox—it’s a valuable resource that your readers will look forward to receiving.

If you’re ready to take your business to the next level with an Educational Email Course, I’d be honored to help you get started. Reach out, and let’s create something amazing together! Contact me at jae@jaeaa.consulting

Times are Changing

Are you losing Employees? Become their Hero at no cost!

What if you could provide a fantastic EWA financial benefit for your employees without a charge to your bottom line. That would be a good thing. Right?

What is EWA, you ask? Good question; the answer is something your competitors already know. EWA means “earned wage access,” and it is a benefit that is sweeping the world.

Imagine your employees having access to their earned wages before payday. They no longer have to approach with “hat in hand,” asking for a wage advance. With this benefit, they can access up to 50% of their earned wages between paydays. Life happens between paydays.

I can help you become a hero to that employee who has an emergency appliance or car repair, a family accident, or an emergency vet visit requiring money they don’t have in their savings. They need cash now, and remember, it’s their money. They earned it yesterday or today, but you’re not going to pay it to them until “payday.”

It seems only fitting that your employees have access to their earnings as they earn them. But who would offer that for no cost to you, the employer? I know someone who would be thrilled to help you.

Check this:

What did you think? Pretty impressive if you ask me. A financial institution that doesn’t charge a monthly fee or requires a percentage of each check cashed. A bank account that allows for EWA and ATMs and a debit card at no cost to you and minimal cost to no cost to your employee.

What’s not to love? Call me at 253-592-2410 or 408-634-4648. Then, please email me at admin@jaepperson.com, and let’s set you up.

Day 1: Understanding Yourself and Your Business

Subject: Unlocking Your Potential: The Key to Business Growth

First Paragraph:
Have you ever wondered why some businesses thrive while others struggle to get off the ground? It all starts with a deep understanding of yourself and your business. Today, we’ll dive into the most crucial step in your journey to expanding your clientele—knowing who you are and what you bring to the table.

Main Message:
Before you can effectively market your services, you need to have a clear understanding of your strengths, weaknesses, values, and goals. This self-awareness will guide your business decisions and strategies, ensuring they align with your personal and professional identity.

Reflect on these questions:

  • What are your core strengths and skills?
  • What values drive your business decisions?
  • What are your long-term business goals?
  • How do you differentiate yourself from the competition?

Deep Dive:
Understanding yourself involves more than just listing your strengths and goals. It’s about digging deeper into your motivations and aspirations. Consider keeping a journal where you can regularly reflect on your experiences and insights. This practice can reveal patterns and provide clarity on what truly matters to you.

  • Core Strengths and Skills: Identify your top three strengths. Are you particularly good at building relationships, solving problems, or leading a team? Understanding your strengths will help you focus on activities that maximize your impact.
  • Values: Reflect on the principles that guide your decisions. Is integrity your top priority? Do you value innovation and creativity? Knowing your values helps ensure your business practices align with what matters most to you.
  • Goals: Set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. These could include revenue targets, market expansion plans, or personal development objectives.
  • Differentiation: Analyze your competitors. What do they offer, and how can you stand out? Your unique value proposition will be a combination of your skills, values, and the specific needs of your target market.

Conclusion:
Understanding yourself is the first step towards building a successful business. It sets the stage for identifying your unique selling proposition, which we’ll explore in the next email. Remember, self-awareness is the cornerstone of effective business leadership.

Unlock the Future of Your Business with AI and Web 3.0


Are you curious about the latest technologies that could transform your business? What is ChatGPT(tm), or Claude(tm) or Perplexity(tm) or Gemini(tm) or Jasper(tm)? Just a passing fad or a technology to be embraced.

Look no further than the powerful combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and Web 3.0. These cutting-edge innovations are reshaping the digital landscape, and savvy businesses are taking notice.


As a friendly tech enthusiast in my own right, let me give you something to think about. I’m here to guide you through the exciting world of AI and Web 3.0, and show you how you can harness their potential to drive your business forward.


Artificial Intelligence: Your Secret Weapon for Efficiency and Innovation
Let’s start with AI – the technology that’s been making waves across industries. AI is all about using advanced algorithms and machine learning to automate tasks, analyze data, and make smarter decisions. And the best part? It’s not just for tech giants anymore. Businesses of all sizes can leverage the power of AI to streamline their operations and stay ahead of the competition.


Imagine your customer service team being able to respond to inquiries 24/7 with the help of AI-powered chatbots. Or your supply chain running like a well-oiled machine, thanks to AI-driven optimization of logistics and inventory management. And how about using predictive analytics to inform your product development and innovation efforts? The possibilities are endless!


By embracing AI, you can increase productivity, reduce costs, and deliver a more personalized experience for your customers. It’s a game-changer, and savvy businesses are already reaping the rewards.


Web 3.0: The Decentralized Future of the Internet
Now, let’s talk about Web 3.0 – the next evolution of the internet that’s all about decentralization. Gone are the days of a few tech giants controlling the online world. Web 3.0 is about putting the power back in the hands of users and communities.


Imagine a world where you own your own digital assets, like virtual items in your favorite game or your online identity. A world where transactions are secure, transparent, and don’t require a middleman. That’s the promise of Web 3.0, and it’s being made possible by technologies like blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and decentralized applications (dApps).


By embracing Web 3.0, businesses can build stronger, more trustworthy relationships with their customers. Imagine being able to track the entire supply chain of your products, from raw materials to final delivery, using blockchain technology. Or offering your customers the ability to securely store and manage their personal data, giving them more control and building their loyalty.


Web 3.0 is more than just a buzzword – it’s a fundamental shift in how we interact with the digital world, and smart businesses are already positioning themselves to take advantage.


Combining AI and Web 3.0: The Ultimate Business Superpower
Now, here’s where things get really exciting. When you combine the power of AI and Web 3.0, you unlock a whole new world of possibilities for your business.


Imagine an AI-powered chatbot that can not only answer your customers’ questions, but also securely manage their personal information and digital assets using blockchain technology. Or a supply chain management system that uses AI to optimize logistics and inventory, while leveraging the transparency and traceability of Web 3.0 to build trust with your partners and customers.


The integration of these two transformative technologies can lead to:


1 Enhanced Customer Experience: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can provide 24/7 support, while Web 3.0 technologies like blockchain can enable secure, personalized interactions that build trust and loyalty.
2 Streamlined Operations and Supply Chain Management: AI can optimize logistics and inventory, while Web 3.0 can enhance supply chain transparency and security, resulting in more agile and resilient operations.
3 Fostering Innovation and New Revenue Streams: AI can drive product innovation by analyzing customer data and market trends, while Web 3.0 technologies like NFTs and DeFi can unlock new business models and revenue streams.
4 Improved Data Management and Security: AI can enhance data analysis and decision-making, while Web 3.0 can provide secure, decentralized data storage and management, addressing privacy concerns and reducing the risk of data breaches.


The key is to embrace these technologies with a forward-thinking mindset. Sure, there may be some challenges along the way, like technological complexity and regulatory uncertainties. But by investing in employee training, staying informed, and fostering a culture of innovation, you can overcome these hurdles and position your business for long-term success.


Embrace the Future, Empower Your Business
The digital landscape is evolving at a breakneck pace, and businesses that fail to adapt risk being left behind. But by embracing the transformative power of AI and Web 3.0, you can position your business for growth, efficiency, and innovation.


Whether you’re looking to enhance your customer experience, streamline your operations, or unlock new revenue streams, these cutting-edge technologies hold the key to unlocking your business’s full potential.


So, what are you waiting for? Start exploring the world of AI and Web 3.0 today, and get ready to take your business to new heights. The future is here, and it’s waiting for you to seize it.

Start off strong by highlighting an intriguing fact or statistic related to your topic, then dive right into the meat of your article. This will make sure that readers stay engaged throughout the entire post and don’t get bored halfway through.

Break Up Content Into Sections

Add Supporting Media
Adding media such as photos and videos can help support your content and make it more engaging for readers. Images are especially helpful in breaking up long sections of text and can even help illustrate a point more clearly than words alone can do. Videos can be used in a variety of ways; from interviews with industry leaders to product tutorials or even short promotional clips about your business or services offered. Conclusion: Writing a great blog post doesn’t have to be intimidating or overwhelming; all it takes is a little bit of research and some creative thinking! Follow these five tips and you’ll soon find yourself churning out high-quality blog posts like an old pro!

It’s about aligning each face of the cube. In the team this is defined as purpose towards the goal we want to achieve. A team with clear objectives and a strong spirit of influential leadership produces better results.

  1. Each piece is different

Individualities make up the whole, each one adds up and has value in obtaining the final result. The role of the leader and each member is to appreciate these differences and manage to reconcile them when there are deviations in order to redirect them without losing sight of the final objective.

  1. The cube is a system

The hub does not work if a part is missing, defective, or jammed, preventing action. The same thing happens in teams. In itself, the movement, synergy, strategy and ability of the leader to give the right momentum is what will bring about the expected result.

  1. All parts are linked

In the cube each one is linked with the others and when moving, they produce a completely different result. It is the same when working together with others, where individual impact influences everyone: every piece counts. Cohesion is essential especially in times of confusion, where it is not known well where to move, and it is precisely that communion that produces the result, based on trust, contribution, creativity and collaboration.

  1. Each individual movement affects the whole

As in a team, individual performance is directly proportional to the success of the entire team : when very strong, self-centered individuals appear and disconnected from what needs to be done to achieve the objectives, the teams do not work and they wear out.

  1. Pieces drive each other with strategic thinking

Through movement and solution-focused thinking, cube dynamics invites you to learn about how closeness between members of an organization has a direct impact on how the end will be reached. As for the leader, he observes, analyzes, feels, and acts guiding the pieces and motivating them in the alignment that he seeks to achieve.

  1. Gears need optimal operation and communication

To finish these seven leadership ideas playing with the Rubik’s cube, a strategic aspect for the proper functioning of any team is communication. In itself, it is a system that has codes, symbols, representations. If the verbal, the non-verbal, the rituals and the flow that circulates are appropriate, the team will be able to better achieve the goal it pursues. Otherwise, performance will be impaired and therefore poor.

There is a meme circulating on the Internet that says ” Life is like a Rubik’s cube, you solve it or you complicate it even more.” It invites us to reflect on the role of the leader and of each member of the team and to ask ourselves: with your participation, do you make the team grow and contribute positively? Or do you generate the opposite? The answer is in each piece.
