How to Collect Email?
When you build your email list, you need ways to collect email addresses.
At the same time, 15 ways is a lot of ways. How should you prioritize what to focus on?
If you don’t have a great lead magnet yet, do that. It will help you convert more leads from every other channel.
If you have lead magnets and some traffic, optimize form copy and prominence. Converting more of the people that visit you will help you grow faster.
If your list is small, reach out and ask for shares. Once you have a bigger list, it’s easier to grow (more people to promote you). Early on, spreading through personal networks is fast.
You only need to nail small optimizations once. Email signatures, subscription bars, setting up Facebook page signups, and popups are all one-time setups, even though their impact isn’t necessarily huge.
Only put down money if you can make money. Ads (on Facebook or elsewhere) are only helpful if you already have a funnel that you can use to get sales.
Think about where traffic comes from. Where do your leads come from? Check out this post on email acquisition to learn more about how to get people to your site (after all, you can’t get subscribers if you don’t have visitors!).
