Digital Marketing Strategy for Creative Business Owners + Solopreneurs
Start an email list they said, it’s important they said…but there you are with 47 subscribers and no idea what to send them. You may have started your email list with the best intentions but if you’ve stalled out because your list isn’t really growing, you don’t know what to send, and it’s just another thing to try and be consistent with, this episode is…
This week I’ve added a brand new on-demand training to Dare to Grow all about upgrading your opt-in boxes to help them convert better and grow your email list. And in the process I’m recommending something that a lot of people avoid . . . adding a pop-up box to your site. I already know that recommendation is going to come with push-back because most…
This post could alternately be titled . . . how I added over 5,000 people to my email list WITHOUT doing a damn webinar! Because I know, for so many people, webinars are on the top of their I know I should but I reaaaally don’t wanna list. So today we’re not going to talk about webinars; we’re going to talk about my other favorite…
Awesome guest post alert! Today my buddy Nathalie Lussier is here to talk all about creating pop-up boxes that won’t drive your blog readers mad. Because I know, and I’m sure you do too, that it’s really easy to create pop-ups that are super annoying. I run into them every single day! And while bad pop-ups can make you not want to do the same…
So you’ve been setting up your opt-in boxes, you’re gaining a few subscribers, and now the question is…when exactly are you supposed to start sending email? Is it worth emailing your list when only a handful of people have signed up? Should you save that precious content for when more people will see it? Do you need to officially launch your list or do you just…
Alright, let’s talk about list building. I’ve been building my email list for about two years now, which means for the first couple years of growing my business, I didn’t have an email list at all. #FAIL. Once I finally got my shit together, I was able to grow my subscribers pretty rapidly. In 2015 my list grew from 2k subscribers to 10k, and in…
If you’ve stopped by my site before, you probably noticed I write a lot of blog posts to help convince my audience that building their email list is in the best interest of their blog and business. So today’s post is for those of you who got the message loud and clear. You heard list building is important because it will help grow your connection with your audience, boost blog traffic and…
Watching your list grow little by little is fun, but what if you could gain hundreds or even over a thousand new email subscribers in just ONE week? Sounds like a total sales-y pile of crap right? Well, it’s not. The best way to grow your list, of course, is by hosting free webinars, but since I know lots of you are SO not into live video…
Oh, the dreaded email list. If you’re building any sort of online presence, you’ve probably already realized you need one. (If not…you need one.) The problem I hear most is not about the tech side of setting it up, it’s what to send your list once you’ve got things going. My own plan for what I send my email list has evolved over the past two…
If you’re still wondering if it’s worth putting time into creating images for and learning to use Pinterest, this post is for you! When I hit publish on this post on productivity I had no clue that it would turn into the most popular post on my site and bring in a continuous stream of new email subscribers for months and months AND months! Here’s what…
I’ve talked about my initial resistance to email lists a few times before. Business books and blog posts always made it sound like THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, but I just didn’t get it. How was I supposed to come up with another piece of content on top of the blog posts I was writing every week? And what was I going to do with all…
