Has setting up an e mail list for your pet business been on the to-do list for ages?

I know it’s the case for many pet business owners which is why I’ve spoken to VA and Mailchimp expert Catherine Gladwyn.

She works as a virtual assistant, coaches other virtual assistants, has written a book, How to Be A Virtual Assistant and has another book due out this autumn.
