Quotes
"A lead magnet is a great way to provide value upfront. Instead of people just signing up to your email list and they start getting sales emails from you, you're giving them things." - Alyssa Dulin
"When you have a lead magnet set-up, be sure that you have a strategy around what kinds of emails that person will be getting after they sign up, and not to start sending them broadcasts and sequences accidentally." ~ Melissa Lambert
"After the lead magnet's delivered, send an email introducing yourself and make it memorable. Don't just make it a generic bio." ~ Alyssa Dulin
"Depending on the kind of list collection you are using, your subscriber quality can be different. That's not a bad thing. It just means you may have to adjust the way you initially have people engaging or not engaging." ~ Melissa Lambert
