Email Marketing | How do you build an email list?
Not sure how to build an email list? You need to give them some incentive to sign up. My favourite type of incentive is a free piece of content - e.g. a cheat sheet, ebook, template, etc. Today I’m going to run you through the steps in setting this list-building system up, so you can grow your email list on autopilot. And when your email list growth is on autopilot, it means you don’t have to stress about where your next sale is coming from.

Email Marketing | Why should you be building your email list?
As anyone who is on my email list will tell you, I’m a BIG fan of email marketing. I probably email my list more often than I post on social media these days - and I’ve seen a much bigger ROI from email than from any other channel. But, if you’re starting your email list from scratch, it can feel a bit pointless at the start. You feel like you’re just emailing crickets - and that nobody cares. The thing is - email marketing is actually a pretty powerful tool. This episode, I’m looking at a few reasons you should start building your email list, like yesterday.

Business Mindset | The tough parts of owning a business
Look up #laptoplifestyle on Instagram and you’d be forgiven for thinking that running a business is anything but poolside cocktails and sunsets. But, in the early days of business, it’s more likely going to be the opposite of poolside cocktails and sunsets. The thing is: I’m pretty sure everyone goes through this. In my almost 3 years of running a business, I’ve been through every one of these things at least once. This is not designed to scare you off, if you haven’t started your business yet. It’s simply to help you realise that you’re not alone, and to help you keep going if you’re going through any of these at the moment. Join Socialette Elite: http://stephtaylor.co/elite
