She discusses the various email marketing platforms that are ideal for eCommerce traffic and how she noticed that eCommerce businesses didn\\u2019t utilize the medium enough. This is why Jessica started her business \\u2013 she knew eCommerce businesses didn\\u2019t experiment with email marketing enough. Jessica can also help with SEO, driving traffic, and more.

Jessica says she really stresses teaching her clients how to do what she does. She\\u2019s also launching a membership program in 2022. 

She also talks about the misconception that eCommerce is akin to passive income. Jessica clarifies that there\\u2019s necessary hard work and \\u2018shiny objects\\u2019 to avoid.
