Tired of shouting into the social media void? What if your email list became your most powerful tool for building authority and staying connected?

In this practical episode of Bootstrap MD, host Dr. Mike Woo-Ming draws from his experience running two newsletters to deliver a step-by-step guide on creating emails that people actually open and read. He breaks down common failure modes: writing like you're charting or only emailing when you want sales, and offers a repeatable structure for hooks, stories, and soft calls to action.

Dr. Woo-Ming covers content buckets tailored for physician entrepreneurs, ideal sending frequency, simple tools like ConvertKit or Beehiiv, and organic growth strategies. Whether you're a doctor launching a side gig or a healthcare entrepreneur nurturing leads, this episode shows how newsletters foster trust and relevance without overwhelming your schedule.

Perfect for busy physicians who want to own their audience and turn emails into meaningful conversations that drive opportunities.

Three Actionable Takeaways:

• Newsletters Build Relationships, Not Just Lists Email is the only channel without algorithms blocking you, focus on staying relevant in readers' minds through consistent, value-driven content rather than sales pitches.

• Avoid Common Pitfalls Like Inconsistency and Self-Focus Write conversationally, not formally; send weekly to build habits; and reframe content around what helps your audience, not announcements about yourself.

• Use Simple Structures and Tools for Success Hook with provocative openers, share stories or insights, and end with soft CTAs. Tools like Beehiiv simplify workflows, while lead magnets like checklists grow your list organically.
