How is everyone adjusting to this new lifestyle? I now make Tik Tok videos, who would have thought? lol
I know this isn’t the email you are expecting from me but I am working on the Email Provider set up as promised and it will be ready before end of the week.
Whilst working on it this evening it occurred to me that many of you may need help building your email list so maybe I should share that first. I asked on Twitter and got the same feedback too.
I’m sorry to disappoint you guys but the truth is there isn’t any magic hack or tips to build your email list. The most effective step is to start collecting emails. Period.
A common mistake business owners and creatives make is not nurturing a relationship with your audience via an email list, especially if you rely heavily on social media. Ask yourself what the Plan B is if you lose your account today? It’s a scary thought but it’s possible.
Anyway, whenever you wake up is your morning. For example, for the first 8 months of Natural Girl Wigs we didn’t collect emails and we served over 3,000 customers, imagine all that data lost.
But we started one day and grew our email list from 0 -10,000 in one year. This excludes people that unsubscribed or the users that we removed due to inactivity. My point is, just start collecting emails from people that buy from you or engage with your content.
However, I know that having a great lead magnet or Offer increases your chance of building a valuable email list.
A lead magnet or Offer is what you offer a potential or buying customer in exchange for their information.
A valuable email list consist of people who are relevant to your business goals. We want to collect emails but we also don’t want emails from just anyone, otherwise we will be building the list for nothing.
There is a lot to unpack here so I will be sharing how to create a good lead magnet/ Offer and how to grow a valuable email list on my IGTV tomorrow at 8pm.

I will also be sharing two sample Lead Magnet ideas for two of the participants so join in early.
P.S we are now 8 members away from being 200 in this newsletter community, which was my goal for this month. I am so thankful for everyone that have been sharing with their friends, It means so much to me.
See you tomorrow guys,
cheers
