4 simple ways to grow that email list

A Deep Dive

Every week I get replies from readers about ways to grow their email list. This week is about growing your email list in 4 simple ways, nothing too complicated and easy to implement right after you are done reading.

Fun fact most people miss these opportunities.

Let’s start.

1/ LinkedIn Bio:

A lot of people who have newsletters don’t add the link to their newsletters to their LinkedIn bio which could cost you some subscribers.

You probably get notifications from LinkedIn that someone has viewed your profile, which is a great opportunity to get that lead to subscribe to your newsletter.

2/ Linkedin Featured:

The featured area inside of LinkedIn is another great spot to add your newsletter for potential subscribers to find your newsletter. Just make sure your thumbnail is optimized to get clicked.

3/ Linkedin - First comment:

You never want to add a link really to the main post. Why? Social platforms like LinkedIn usually will not push your content with a link.

Adding it to the first comment will allow others to see your newsletter. Without it affecting the main post.

4/ Twitter Bio:

If you don’t have your newsletter link in your bio you are missing out on subscribers. When a new person follows you, they will pretty much check your profile and maybe click the link in your bio.

But don’t add a Linktree bio link, where you have your IG, Youtube Channel, and other platforms mixed in with your newsletter.

Your newsletter is competing with platforms that will most likely get clicked and they won’t be clicking on your newsletter.
