3 actionable tips to grow your email list this weekend

Many solopreneurs aren’t maximizing their opportunities to grow their email list.

They either:

  1. endlessly spam others with their email link through X posts and DMs
  2. or put a link at the top of their bio and hope people sign up

These tactics don’t work because people get tired of seeing you plug your email list if you aren’t providing anything of value.

And if you aren’t posting things of value or driving engagement, people won’t view your profile.

And if nobody is viewing your profile, nobody will see your email list link.

People join email lists because they believe there will be something of value there.

Here's 3 things you can do this weekend to avoid being like most solopreneurs:

1/ Post content that informs, inspires or entertains then SELECTIVELY Autoplug your email list using Hypefury

In Hypefury, set up your Autoplug so that it posts only when a certain # of likes is received on a post.

Make it so that only about 5-15% of your posts get auto-plugged with your email subscription link.

For example, right now, my “Join my email list” Autoplug only posts when most posts reach 10 likes.

2/ Create a lead magnet (i.e. your prospect gets something helpful in return for providing their email address)

I created a lead magnet landing page here yesterday if you want to check it out: https://convertkitcreator.carrd.co/​

Here’s what people get when they subscribe: https://difficult-tarsal-265.notion.site/How-to-Grow-your-Email-List-Leveraging-The-Creator-Network-6919973ccc6d45f99363a777f07a13db?pvs=4​

3/ Associating yourself with other successful solopreneurs in your area of expertise

  1. You can do this by joining and speaking up in Spaces with creators you admire. This will drive people to your profile.
  2. Engage with top creators’ content. This will drive people to your profile.
  3. Join ConvertKit’s Creator Network and maximize its benefits (that’s my lead magnet above btw - check it out).
