In this post, you\u2019re going to learn exactly how to build an email list using a proven system we\u2019ve tested across hundreds of industries and types of businesses.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Over the last 5 years, we\u2019ve used this system to not only build our own email list of 300,000+ subscribers but also to help hundreds of businesses get their first 1,000+ subscribers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Most email list-building posts give you a big, long list of tactics with step-by-step instructions and case studies that show you how to implement them. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

But the truth is, you need more than just tactics. In fact, I\u2019ve found that the tactics you choose to build your email list will be among the least important factors in your success or failure.<\/b><\/p>\r\n

Think of tactics like the \u201csweets\u201d section of the food pyramid we all saw in elementary school:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

\"\"

So tasty. So easy to binge on. If you and I had our choice, we\u2019d eat tactics for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Unfortunately, they\u2019re the smallest part of a balanced list-building diet.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Just ask Elena Favilli.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

You\u2019ve probably never heard of her, but Elena is one of the smartest entrepreneurs I\u2019ve ever met. (The smartest ones always fly under the radar.)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When I met Elena, she wanted to launch a book that would empower and inspire young girls. And to make that launch successful, she knew an email list would be key.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She was already doing tons of the tactics that are supposed to help you build a list: creating great blog content, offering lead magnets on her site, hosting giveaways on Facebook, etc.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The tactics alone were enough to get her small, sporadic wins. 50 subscribers here, 20 subscribers there. But with the launch coming up soon, she needed faster growth. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

When she came to us for help, it was easy to see she didn\u2019t need more tactics\u2026 <\/span>she just needed the right system around those tactics.<\/b><\/p>\r\n

She needed the full list-building \u201cfood pyramid.\u201d The unsexy stuff no one usually talks about: the veggies, the fruits, the healthy stuff.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Yes, you do need certain tactics and strategies to build an email list (and we\u2019re going to cover those).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But it\u2019s <\/b>the system<\/i><\/b> that shows you how to implement the right tactics at the right time.<\/b><\/p>\r\n

The system helps you adjust when something doesn\u2019t work.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The system keeps you from wasting time on things that don\u2019t matter.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

And the system is what helped Elena build a list of 30,000 subscribers in 13 months and launch the most crowdfunded book of all time, <\/span>Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls<\/span><\/i>. Her Kickstarter campaign alone brought in $675,614. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

In the past, we\u2019ve kept all that system stuff locked inside our paid courses and coaching. But over the next 8 weeks, we\u2019re going to peel back the curtain.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We\u2019re going to walk you step by step through every piece of our proven list-building system so you can get more email subscribers in the next 8 weeks than you did in the last 8 months.<\/b><\/p>\r\n

Each week, I\u2019m going to walk you through one part of our list-building system and give you one or two very specific tasks so you can implement them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Psyched? Me too.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\t\n\t\t
