Have you struggled to build an engaged email list? I can relate. Especially in this new age of privacy laws and GDPR compliance it can be daunting. It is very hard to make list building a habit. It may not come naturally so you put it off.
And put it off
Aaaaaand put it off.
But when you think about it, have you ever wondered just how long it takes to develop a habit? As frustrating as it sounds – it depends.
You’ve seen plenty of self help programs I’m sure – 60 days to rock hard abs, a magic cure all 21 day detox, 69.394 days to better “fun” in bed.
You get the idea.
A fascinating book called The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg points out that in order to make something stick a habit has to develop a reward that you actually enjoy. In the case of better “fun” in bed that’s an easy one, but what if you want to get better at engaging with your audience?
List building isn’t fun for many of us.
It’s time consuming.
Hard work.
And what do you actually say to people who’ve trusted you enough with their email address so they don’t run as fast as they can to the unsubscribe button.
Do you need help building and maintaining your email list like I did?

List Building Topics You’ll Master
We don’t want to give away all the secrets, or overwhelm you with details, but here are some of my favorite topics you’ll dig into in this free email course.
1. Define Your Target Audience
A basic step to creating an engaged audience is knowing who your audience actually is. In this step you’ll envision your perfect customer.
Is she a retired 67 year old woman who enjoys hot yoga and knitting sweaters for her grandchildren? Or a young whipper snapper who eats twinkles by the fistful and plays mobile games all day (guess they wouldn’t be a whipper snapper then would they)?
You might even craft your opt-ins and email sequence slightly different depending on who follows you. And you may find you need different opt-in pages for different customer types.
2. Traffic Traffic Traffic
A good opt-in and landing page is worthless without traffic. So many of us waste precious time on the wrong traffic methods. Then give up because “list building just isn’t working”. Throughout the 30 Day Email Challenge there are many many traffic methods discussed.
Grow your list with Facebook, Pinterest, influencers, using bonuses, kindle books, giveaways and even podcasts and webinars (don’t freak out it doesn’t have to be scary) and more!
3. Recoup Your Investment With A Backend Offer
This is where list building gets fun – show me the money right? If you’ve ever tried using paid traffic to build your email list it can get expensive. But with the right back end offer or funnel sequence you can actually get paid to grow your list. That’s where things get exciting.
This step is one of my favorites, because when it comes down to it the reason we spend time cultivating a happy healthy list of followers is to make money. But if you are like me you want to do it ethically in a way that helps people.
Creating the right offer is your way of rewarding your followers with helpful information or products that solve the problems they are looking to find answers to.
Your back end offer could be anything – get creative. Your own ebook, or course, a physical product or even a hot new affiliate offer.
