🦩 3 tips to grow your email list

In this post we're covering how to build your email list. No matter how big or small your company is, growing your email list should be at the top of your list.

Your email list naturally shrinks by about 25% every year (unsubscribes or inactives). Given this natural churn, you need to continuously grow your email list and make up for these lost subscribers.

3 Ways to Grow Your Email List

1. Create an irresistible lead magnet. You can offer a free download, cheat sheets or infographics, access to a tool, bonus content, or exclusive discount. Make it so enticing people will gladly give you their email address.

2. Keep your forms short. As tempting as it is to want to know everything about your prospect, just stick to the basics to reduce friction. A first name and email address are sufficient to get the conversation started.

3. Just ask. If you don't ask, they won't know it exist. So, add it to your email signatures, social media profiles, speaking engagements, ask people to reshare it, and of course feature it PROMINENTLY on your website (top nav bar + footer, in blog posts, and in your downloads).

PRO TIP: Grab attention without being obnoxious by using a floating or hello bar, exit-intent popup, timed lightbox popup, or a scroll box to help convert abandoning visitors.
