1. I don’t need one until I publish my book or start my business
Start building your list as soon as you start writing your book or soon as you start thinking about your business.
You want to use this time to find your ideal client.
On social media invite your followers
Don’t make it hard on yourself by waiting until your book releases or your business opens.
Use this time wisely to tell people about the upcoming book or business, get them excited.
2. It’s Too Hard
Putting an email list isn’t that hard if you are starting from 1. You don’t want to wait until you have 500 people on your database, that takes time to load into the system. Also a lot of the systems, would rather your subscribes opt in vs you adding them to the system.
Pick your system. (Mad Mimi, Mailer Lite, Mail Chimp)
Sit down and DO IT
Take a class – Contact me I offer a few classes.
3. No one to add to the list
That’s the best time to start. Create a plan to start meeting your target market. Social media, offline at events. Everywhere you go, invite people to join your list.
4. Takes Too Much Time To Maintain
A email list does take time to maintain but it’s worth the work. Pick a day once a week, once a month or like I do once a quarter and maintain your list.
5. Don’t realize the value of having your own email list
• You can get in front of your audience anytime you want.
• You can do quick sells if you want to make some extra money.
• You can learn about your audience by sending out surveys and asking questions.
• You know the people on your list want to hear from you and buy from you.
