No-BS Blog Strategy for the Daring and Driven
So you’ve started an email list (high five!), you’ve added an opt-in box to your site, and you’re excitedly refreshing your email account waiting for that number to grow, grow, GROW! And . . . it’s not. You get 3 subscribers and then lose 2. Gain 5 more. Lose 1. What about those hundreds of subscribers you were expecting? Why aren’t they showing up and…
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…
Generally, people fall into one of two camps when it comes to email lists. Either they know they need a list but haven’t started yet because they can’t figure out what to send (generally business owners). Or they hear they need a list over and over but ignore it because they don’t see the point (generally bloggers). Well, today I’ve got a whole bunch of reasons for both…
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…
By now you probably know that content upgrades are one of THE BEST ways to grow your email list. Especially if you’re starting from scratch! You can’t beat giving your audience super valuable content and then providing a huge incentive to trade their email address for even more information. A content upgrade is an additional piece of content that users must submit their email address to…
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…
