Did you know you could use your out-of-office emails to make more sales of your products and services, increase awareness of the kinds of things you sell, and increase the respect that your potential customers and clients have for you?

I’m going to guess no. If so, you’re in good company because I never thought of an out-of-office email as being a business-growing tool until I received this little gem from IttyBiz customer Alli Worthington.

So I’m going to show you her out-of-office email, tell you all the little ways it sets her up for potential growth, and then you can use that as a template for building an out-of-office email that can help your business grow, too.

Let’s begin.

One of the reasons that so many people struggle with writing content is that it can often require a lot of time and energy – maybe more than they have available. (This is doubly true for those of us with chronic illness or neurological issues – energy is a very finite resource.)

But most people don’t realize that they could cut their writing time by an easy 30%-50% overnight by using writing templates to get past their “stuck points”.

In reality, it’s not writing that takes so long – it’s navigating those stuck points, those places where we stare at the screen thinking “I have no idea what to write right now.” We can spend a lot of minutes in that stuck place.

There are two places where you are going to run into this problem most frequently – in your opening section and your closing section. This is where most people spend the majority of their “stuck time”.

So, let’s solve one of those problems right now. I’m going to give you 5 easy opening templates that you can use for any blog post or piece of content you create.

If you use one of these in every post you write, you’ll save a ton of time starting immediately. (And if you wanted to, you could even redirect that extra time towards other revenue-generating activities instead!)

So, let’s get this train moving, kittens. Here are 5 easy ways to open a blog post.
