Your email list is the best way to reach your audience.
Selling a product? Building a relationship? Requesting donations?
Email is the best way to connect with your audience. In fact, 72% of people prefer to receive promotional content through email over print media, social media, or even in-person conversations, according to MarketingSherpa.
But when it comes to growing your email list, most people don’t know where to start. And once they do get started, they struggle to build an audience of engaged subscribers.
This course will give you a framework used by experts across the world to build their audiences 24/7.
Create the two most important list growth tools.
By the end of this short course, you'll have launched the two most important elements for kickstarting list growth.
#1. A compelling lead magnet. Your lead magnet is a freebie you give your subscribers for joining your email list. It gives people a reason to subscribe, builds trust with your audience, and can even help increase your email engagement
#2. A can't-resist sign up form.Your sign up form is a digital way to collect email addresses that works 24/7. It attracts the attention of site viewers, explains the benefits of joining your list, and turns casual website visitors into email subscribers
When paired together, your lead magnet and sign up form create a one-two punch for skyrocketing your list numbers.
