No Freebies 📈

Hi Creadora!

Last week, we received an amazing question from one of our subscribers, D'Nai:

We absolutely love this question because, let’s be honest, we’re all a little tired of hearing, “Just make a freebie!” Sure, freebies can work, but if everyone’s saying the same thing, it might be time to shake things up.

So, we’ve put together a list of 10 creative strategies to help you grow your email list without always relying on a freebie. (We know ten is a lot, so we recommend you focus on just three at a time!)

Here are the three strategies we’re focusing on right now:

1. Engaging in Facebook Groups to Find Our Ideal Audience

We’ve discovered that Facebook Groups are a goldmine for reaching our ideal clients. Instead of diving in with promotions, we focus on adding real value by offering answers, advice, and resources within groups that align with our niche. We participate actively, aiming to build genuine connections rather than just pushing our services. Over time, we’ve found that people who resonate with our approach naturally gravitate to our page and sign up for our email list—no hard sell needed.

2. Running Content Series and Challenges

To keep our audience engaged and coming back for more, we’ve been running ongoing content series and challenges. For example, our weekly email series on business mindset has created a buzz, and we’re planning a “7-Day Marketing Boost Challenge” to guide new entrepreneurs in enhancing their strategies. By providing consistent, valuable content, we’re building a sense of community and anticipation. People love being part of a journey, and these series encourage them to sign up so they don’t miss out.

3. Doing List Swaps with Fellow Content Creators

We’re also partnering with like-minded business owners and content creators for list swaps. This means that we promote each other’s email lists to our respective audiences. It’s a win-win that not only expands our reach but also brings in subscribers who are already interested in what we have to offer. By working together with fellow entrepreneurs, we’re able to reach new audiences and grow our community with people who align with our mission.
