Over the past decade, I’ve discovered just how As my email list grew, so did my income. In this course I’m going to share my exact strategy with you.

I’m going to put you on the path of selling your products and services on a consistent basis, by giving you the MOST mission-critical ingredient:

A targeted email list that grows on autopilot.

 There’s a simple formula that says the more targeted subscribers you have on your list, the more sales you’ll be able to make.

This is the simplest math equation on the planet, and trust me, it works.

But only if you grow that email list

The important part? Not all email lists are created equal.

You don’t need to run crazy 30 day challenges or spend-your-life-savings-on-gift-cards giveaways in order to get a massive number of people on your list.

(And this approach never works anyway.)

And this isn’t about volume, either. 50 highly targeted, interested subscribers are infinitely better than 5,000 people who don’t know anything about you or your product (and don’t care, either).

With the right list-building strategies — the ones I’m going to teach you here — you’ll be on your way to a profitable and successful business.

Introductions

This course is structured so the first 2 modules help you understand the strategy behind building your list. Because if you don’t really understand and use the right strategy, and even if you get lucky and end up getting people on your email list, I guarantee you that you’re just adding numbers to your list and that those people are not your ideal buyers. people who are actually interested in what you have to sell

I’ll show you how to determine the right format for your lead magnet, and how to design and structure it to grab your audience’s attention. You'll learn the exact formula to use, to communicate the right message to your audience, to let them know the Lead magnet is for them --and to get them on your list.

Then we’ll do an entire section, where I walk you through the behind the scene to setup your forms, and integrate it to your website;  and/or create landing pages if you don’t have a website. You'll also learn how to deliver your Lead Magnets to your subscribers.
