The Importance of Email Lists for Creatives

Email lists are crucial for creative professionals aiming to convert strangers into clients. Successful creatives, including podcast guests, consistently emphasize that their email lists serve as their most valuable marketing asset. Relying solely on social media platforms for client acquisition can be problematic, as changes in algorithms can severely limit visibility. Unlike social media, email lists have significantly higher open rates, providing a more reliable channel for reaching potential clients.

Love it or hate it, email marketing is the closest thing there has ever been to a "magic pill" for anyone looking for stability in their month-to-month income.

The sucky thing is...most of us "fall victim" to email marketing ALL THE TIME. You get tons of tons of emails from people offering their products and services, but you never make use of this powerful tool yourself.

Most freelancers I see are making one (or more) of these mistakes:

They think social media is the best long-term play (it's not)
They think they can have the same success and stability 1 on 1 (you can't)
They think "join my newsletter" is a great way to build their email list (it's not)
They're actually building their list, but they're never sending emails (not good)

If you want a time-tested, surefire way to stay top-of-mind, build trust, and actually reach the audience you've built, email marketing is where it's at.

If you're having success on social media right now, I'm begging you to take this time to build an email list so you're safe/secure in the long run.

Social media has historically always become a "pay to play" world for business owners, and Tiktok is already making that shift. Don't make the mistake of thinking that party is going to last much longer.

If you're open to the idea of building, growing, and using an email list to grow your reach, and you like the idea of building trust in a one-to-many setting, this week's episode of the 6 Figure Creative Podcast is for you.
