Audience Growth

A few years ago, I was working really hard, posting to social media most days and growing my list by about five people a month. I was showing up consistently, doing all the things you are supposed to do but not really getting anywhere. Then in a single week, I grew my list by more than 400 people. No, I didn’t have a viral moment. I didn’t pay for ads. This post is about how it happened, and why I wish someone had told me about this strategy much sooner.

For years, I thought there was one way to grow an email list. Create content. Offer a freebie. Hope enough people saw it and signed up. Nobody told me there was another approach entirely. This is the guide I wish I'd had back then. All the different ways you can get in front of other people's audiences through collaborations.

Most people think that you have to post content or run ads to grow your email list. But if you have a busy life, there is another strategy you can use to grow your email list, your community or your audience for your online business.
