Grow Your List
It’s hard to increase the size of your list these days. Hard, but not impossible.
Nobody wants more in their inboxes. You don’t. And I don’t.
But we all want to hear from people whose work we admire.
You can’t give up on trying to grow your list because it’s only going to get more difficult if you delay action. Besides, you really need to start thinking of your list in broader terms—beyond email only. We discussed that in Your People Plan.
As you’ll see, your list is already far larger than the email addresses you have.
7 Ways to Grow Your List
Remember from our kickoff and orientation these primary ways to grow your list:
- Networking
- Creating Online Content
- Advertising
- Offering Freebies
- Speaking
- Teaching
- Exhibiting and Having Shows
These are in addition to publishing, podcasting, and SEO—and probably some things we’ll never get into, like signing up people at street corners 😉. The homework I have selected for us emphasizes tools for ATTRACTING people. We do have additional modules in our vault for online content.
- Start by looking back on Your People Plan and any of the recent People Days you have had. We don’t want that work to be forgotten. The work in this module relates to the Meet phase of the Conscious Connections Cycle.
- Review the primary lessons below. Add either or both of the supporting lessons if you think you could use them now.
