Behind the Business - Day 4: Update Your Email Template, Embed Live Google Sheets into Website Pages, and Putting Your Income on Autopilot - sarahcordiner.com

The Husbeast bought me a ‘Witchcraft’ book for my birthday this week, and I am most disappointed to share that there is no spell in it for: ‘instantly becoming a hot-mum-Victoria-Secrets-model, with a bajillion dollars in the bank’; so off to work we go!

Welcome to Behind the Business Day 4, where I share what I did, taught, and learned today to grow my business – so you can level-up too.

1. DO Something: Update Your Master Email Template

Email is still one of the most powerful tools in your marketing arsenal. If you’re not sending emails, you’re leaving money on the table — or worse, giving it to your competition.

Today, I updated my master email template to include a direct link to my events page

Why? Because every email I send now becomes an automated promotional tool for my upcoming workshops, as well as my other CTAs, without me lifting a finger.

Create or Update Your Master Email Template To Maximise Your Sales:

  • Go to your email marketing software and create a branded email template (I use Tekmatix for all of my email marketing)
  • Add a P.S. section to your master template that includes links to how you can help your audience.
  • Add a highlight to your hero product so that it stands out and gets noticed

Here’s a picture of my master template so that you can see what I mean (and note that you can customise the layout of your email templates in absolutely any way that your creative mind can conjure on Tekmatix).

These tiny tweaks can make a huge difference to your sales. 

Better yet, automate your email marketing so that your lead nurturing and sales happen completely automatically for the rest of time.  I suggest having an automated welcome sequence and an RSS campaign that will send out all of your most recent blog or youtube posts auto-magically.

If you want to learn how to automate your email game (and your entire business), dive into the tech section of the Legends Lab – I teach you exactly how to do all of this in my step-by-step training inside the Legends Lab > Join here.

2. LEARN Something: Embed a Live Google Sheet Into a Web Page

While updating my 2025 calendar of events yesterday, I realised I wanted visitors to my events page to see live changes as I make updates.

Enter: embedding a live Google Sheet into a website! 

Good news: It’s totally doable – even if you are as tech-savvy as a potato.
I learned how to create a dynamic, embedded calendar that updates automatically as I tweak my event details. 

It’s perfect for keeping a live and updated file public on a website page – without having to re-upload constant manual updates.

And because I’m a sharer, I whipped up a quick YouTube video to show you exactly how to do this for your business too. 

3. TEACH Something: Automation and Tech Hacks to Scale Your Revenue

Today, I had the privilege of being the guest speaker and delivering a workshop to Jackson Millan’s high-income-earning entrepreneurs community.

I taught these successful entrepreneurs how they can multiply their wealth next year with my session on 10 Automation and Tech Hacks to Dramatically Scale Your Business Revenue in 2025”.

This was a private session, but I’m feeling like growing my list today (I bet you thought I was gonna say ‘being generous’, huh?!) …. 😂😂😂

Seriously though, I truly want you to have the best year in business EVER So I am going to give this ENTIRE WORKSHOP AWAY FOR FREE!!

Yea, baby!

All you gotta do to get it for free, is go to this Facebook post below and comment SCALE, and I’ll give you the secret link to watch it in full.

Why use this method and not just give you an opt-in link? 

Watch and learn Squirrels….  🐿️

Firstly – it’s a karmic value exchange.  I just taught a 90-minute session that other people paid to attend.  

It’s only fair that you have to go to the massive effort of clicking on a button and typing 5 letters to get it for free. 

Second – every comment on a social media post, bumps the post in the feed and more people see it. 

So your comments are helping my content get seen – which is good karma points for both of us.

Honestly – just ONE of the 10 automated growth strategies that I taught, could multiply your business alone almost immediately.  

Go get your hands on it and SCALE!

Bonus: ENJOY Something

Because life is for living, not just working, this afternoon I took one of my besties of over 30 years, who is visiting me from the UK, to Tamborine Mountain in Queensland.

FEEL the healing magic in this video i took today:

Walking through the jungle canopy, spotting butterflies, critters and the occasional bin-lid-sized spider, was just the grounding I needed. 

Nature never fails to inspire me, hold me and uplift me.  Go get yourself outside for a walk today! Hopefully yours has less spiders than mine did!

That’s a wrap for today!

Let me know in the comments what YOU did, taught, or learned today — or just tell me you survived a face-off with a spider and called it a victory.

And don’t forget to subscribe for my daily Behind the Business updates straight to your inbox.

Here’s to doing, teaching, and learning something amazing tomorrow.

With love and laughter,
