Optimizing Email Marketing Funnels for a Freelance Editor

Are you interested in higher education, freelancing, or editing? If so, I'd like to work with you. I'm an established freelance editor who supports professors with their most important documents, including grant applications and promotion & tenure dossiers. One of my marketing strategies is email marketing, and I'm looking for someone who can revise my existing funnels to better serve the needs of both my clients and my business. Specifically, I'm hoping to mentor an intern who will read a bunch of the content that I've already written and then develop (and, ultimately, implement) a plan to revise the email marketing funnel that new subscribers to my email list follow. I don't mind if you have no marketing knowledge. I'm interested in working with someone who is keen and motivated to learn more about academia, editing, freelancing, entrepreneurship, or being your own boss. Here's what Riipen's AI wrote for me: "The goal is to refine the email content and structure to better align with the established voice and style of the company, ensuring that the messaging resonates with the target audience of academic researchers. The project will involve analyzing existing email campaigns, identifying areas for improvement, and developing a series of optimized email templates." -- that's a pretty good approximation of what I'm looking for, but what's most important to me is someone who is motivated to learn more about this sector or industry.
