The most common answer you’ll hear from professional bloggers when asked about the things they should’ve done early on with their blog, is– starting an email list. They could attest that this method is a powerful way to build and keep an audience and create trust and relationship with them. But building this list is something you need to work on especially if you are just starting with your blog. Good content with a relevant lead magnet is equally important because this will determine the growth of your email list.
On today’s episode, we will point out the importance of having this email list and how to create and grow it over time. We will also share some tips on what content to put up and what kind of lead magnet is best for your blog. Listen up to the end for an exciting discussion and let’s see if you are up to a challenge!
“Lead magnet… it can really be anything, whatever the people are coming to your content for, you need to create something. Even if it’s just an epic blog post, even if it’s just a three to four thousand-word blog post that doesn’t hide the ball and really teaches them something, that can be the opt-in and they enter their email and then you send them that post. But you should be trying to exchange something that they’re gonna be interested in. You are going to have a higher amount of people join your list that way, you’re gonna grow faster.” – Mike Yanda
