100: Ask Chloe! Answers to your questions, inc Email marketing, About us pages, Startups and more

What a milestone! Episode number 100.

A huge thank you to all who’ve listened, spread the word, given me feedback and of course to the guests as well. Launching the podcast was a great idea, but a leap into the unknown I had no idea if it would work or not. So it’s great to reach episode 100

(technically the 115th episode we’ve released, and very nearly 2 years since we launched).

Normally it’s all about the interviews, or the conference takeaways,- but since the “Ask Chloe” session in episode 50 went down so well, I thought I’d do it again for episode 100.

This time the SIX questions have come from the members of the eCommerce MasterPlan World Facebook group – it’s totally free to join.

The Six questions cover marketing, startups, copy-writing, organisation, conferences, Facebook and more. The questions and askers are detailed below, you’ll have to listen to hear the answers!

Keep Optimising!
