Episode Summary
One of the biggest frustrations I hear from health experts is this: “I’m consistent with my emails, but my list is mostly full of past and current clients. How do I actually get new potential clients on there?”
In this episode of The Nourished CEO Podcast, I share a behind-the-scenes coaching call from my Nourished Business Accelerator (NBA) program.
You’ll hear from an incredible women’s hormone health practitioner who has her lead magnets and newsletters in place—but is struggling to attract the right new subscribers.
I break down why “join my newsletter” doesn’t work (and never has), how to create a lead magnet that actually converts, and why messaging specificity is the key to growing your list with people who are ready to invest in your services.
If your email list growth feels stagnant or you’re attracting freebie-seekers who never buy, this episode will show you how to close that gap.
