Event
Hi everyone! I have seen lots of challenges and taken a few free ones myself. I would like to hear from you and the framework to build it.
Let's connect on ZOOM and do this challenge and exchange results!
I have a couple of lists and I am going to focus on one that has currently 200+ contacts with open rate of 38% for marketing business.
The challenge I have set for myself is to 3X this list in 30days. What is your email list building target? Have you achieved it? Do you need an accountability circle to keep you on track?
Or you could be an expert who totally can give us direction on what we might not yet be doing.
Here is a list of what I have learnt and actioning on.
Feel free to add to the list in our virtual meeting on Zoom.
We will follow the 5 steps outline by Melyssa Griffin as a guideline.

A STEP-BY-STEP PLAN TO GROW YOUR EMAIL LIST WHEN YOU’RE STARTING FROM ZERO

And while learning one-off strategies can be helpful, they don’t give you a PLAN, especially when you’re starting at zero, which can make things feel a little hopeless. Like maybe you’re doing something wrong because you’re trying all of these strategies…yet none of them are working.
But here’s the deal: if you use a strategy that isn’t meant for someone at your stage of business or email list-building, it’s not going to serve you as well as something designed JUST for you and your situation.
So, today I’m going to share a step-by-step list-building plan to help you grow your email list even if you’re starting from the beginning. Looking back, this is what I’d do if I had to start growing my list all over again, or if I were starting a new business.
Also, if you’d prefer to listen to the audio version of this post, then you can do that right here:
STEP 1: CREATE A SEXY (AND HIGH-CONVERTING) WEBSITE
1. Have an opt-in form above the fold.
“Above the fold” is just anything that a user sees before having to scroll down on your site (which is considered “below the fold”). Here’s what my previous website design looked like:

2. Include 3-5 additional opt-in forms around your site.
Have you ever heard the Rule of 7? Well, it says that someone has to see something SEVEN times before noticing it and taking action.

Coincidentally, I actually do have seven opt-in form locations on my site. Ha! In your case, I would definitely add multiple opt-in locations as well. One tool I use frequently is LeadBoxes (part of LeadPages) as it makes it very easy to add opt-in buttons wherever you want.
