On Your Terms® 141. How to Get People On Your Email List
Hey there! I'm beyond excited to talk about a topic that has been such a pivotal part of my business journey - email marketing. It's not just about the sales; it's the intimate and personal connections I've been able to build with my subscribers that make it so special. Remember those days when email lists were all the rage, then somehow fell out of favor? Well, I stuck to it, and now look at the resurgence of email newsletters and platforms like Substack! My main advice - focus on the type of content your audience wants and align that with your business' needs instead of chasing after every trend that pops up.
In this episode, you’ll hear…
- Why you should consider shifting your content creation energy from "toilet content" to email marketing
- How writing to your family and friends can help establish a friendly tone in your emails and make your brand feel more personal
- The different strategies to build your email list, and the power of offering a freebie that provides immediate value to your subscribers
- The importance of guiding your potential customers from the free content to your paid offers, by aligning your freebies and content with your business offerings
- My go-to resource for learning copywriting strategies and how investing in your writing skills can be a game-changer for your business
