The most boring and powerful business asset
I took so long to realize the power of email.
After 4.5 years of writing, I had 0 email list subs.
I felt like I had nothing to show for my writing.
I’d heard big creators telling me about an email list, but I didn’t do anything about it. After almost crashing my one-person business last year, I realized how important having an email list is.
I dedicated the next 12 months to building.
I managed to grow my list to 4,300+ subscribers.
Here’s what I did to fast-track my growth.
#1: Pick a platform that suits your style
I love writing.
So, I naturally gravitated to writing-based platforms.
- Medium.
- Substack.
- LinkedIn.
While I created all three, I started with one.
Once you’ve got a platform:
- Provide free upfront value.
- Solve people’s problems.
- Respond to comments
