Happy New Year + a 🎁

Welcome to today’s issue of Efikó, a weekly newsletter by me, Dozie Anyaegbunam, with a focus on content marketing, writing, social strategy, and living your best life. THANK YOU for being here! I appreciate you.

Happy New Year, everyone 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I hope you all got the chance to rest?

Because I did.

There is nothing like a good old-fashioned holiday — lots of food, alcohol, an outing now and then, and most importantly, sleep.

The highlight of the holidays for me was our trip to the Parc Omega. Dodo got the chance to feed the deer, see bison and caribou up close, and see his beloved wolves up close.

And now, I’m fully rested and raring to go.

Here’s wishing you all a fairytale 2022.

Plus, I also have a gift for you!

The Content Marketing AltMBA is live.

Last year, I got over 100+ emails asking me the same question:

“Dozie, how do I start out in content marketing?”

And so I went out and curated some of the best advice, tips, tricks from renowned industry experts who have walked their talk.

And it’s all yours for FREE.

Here’s a sneak peek of what you get within this 86-page ebook:

Poet May Sarton in Plant Dreaming Deep
