Here's the wrong way to send somebody a message. Check this out. Julie sends me a message and I just see it says view event in the little box. And even if I make it bigger, it still just shows me an image of an event that doesn't have any text to it. She did put text. She did say, hey there, I love helping leaders break free from stress and burnout. People send me these links and I don't read the text because I didn't know I had to scroll up to read the text. Often they'll just show up like this and I'll just ignore it. Here's a way to do this the smart way. Let's say I want to send it to Greg. I'm going to go in here and I'm going to do post promotion. Notion. I'm going to click on the actual link, which is a separate template. I'm going to paste it in and send it, and it shows up as a preview.

Can you please like, comment, and repost? Now the person can look up— much more likely for him to go ahead and do that.
