Howdy, it’s Robbie. Happy Monday! (Is that a thing? Let’s pretend it is.) Just wanted to swing by with a couple of things I really wish I knew years ago… 1) A lead magnet template I really could have used back in the dayWhen I first started using freebies to grow my audience, I made so many mistakes. ❌ Picking topics nobody actually cared about But hey, silver linings… Turns out, if you do the wrong thing enough times, you eventually trip and fall into the right way. If I had known then what I know now, I could have grown my following (and this email list) way faster. And I could have avoided a few awkward, slightly soul-crushing DMs along the way. That’s why I put together a mini-training + a plug-and-play template you can swipe to: ✅ Make your lead magnet highly attractive No opt-in needed. This link takes you straight to the good stuff. 2) A simple framework for kicking off live events without the awkwardnessLately, I’ve seen a lot of buzz around live events. My hunch? With AI-generated content everywhere, people are craving real human connection more than ever. I recently shared my most in-depth breakdown ever on how to kick off webinars, workshops, and live trainings in a way that: ✔ Gets your audience engaged from the very start It’s something I really wish I had implemented sooner, so if hosting a live event is on your 2025 bingo card, I’m sure it’ll help. Alrighty, that’s it for today. Just a couple of things to (hopefully) help you move closer to your goals. Have an awesome week, P.S. If this email helped you, hit reply and let me know. If it didn’t… just shake your head aggressively at your screen. I’ll feel it. |

Hey, it’s Robbie. Just a quick heads-up before the TpT sale ends today. If you were thinking about picking up my Job Interviews + Business Meetings bundle, you can still get it for less than usual while the sale is live. These are the kinds of lessons you’re glad to have ready when a student tells you they have an interview coming up, or says, “I need to speak more in meetings at work.” The Job Interview lesson helps learners understand what interviewers are looking for, organise stronger...
Hey, it’s Robbie. Yesterday I shared one of the biggest changes I made to the way I plan lessons: I stopped building lessons around vague goals like “improve your speaking” and started building them around real situations learners needed to handle at work. Over the last few weeks, I’ve used that same idea to give my Job Interviews and Business Meetings lessons a major update. So today, I thought I’d show you some of the thinking behind the changes. The Job Interview Lesson One of the tricky...
Hey, it’s Robbie. I hope you’re having a great summer. We’ve been having an unusually hot one here in Dublin. And speaking of things heating up… Actually, no. I have absolutely no idea how to segue from the weather into Business English. (Yes, my segues still need some work.) Anyway… When I first started teaching English online in 2020, I spent far too much time planning lessons. I’d create something for one student, teach it once, and then start almost from scratch for the next one. After a...
