Let’s be honest, email list growth can feel like a lot. Between expert advice that says you need fancy funnels, a hundred freebies, or to be everywhere all at once, it’s no wonder it feels overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be.
In this episode, Mel Daniels guides you through a more grounded, purpose-driven way to grow your email list – one that prioritises connection over conversion, ease over hustle, and quality over quantity.
You’ll hear how the client journey (Connect → Subscribe → Nurture → Convert) can help simplify your strategy and give your email marketing more meaning. She’ll also walk you through what makes a powerful lead magnet, how to get it in front of the right people, and how to nurture your subscribers with heart.
Mel shares how she personally uses Kajabi to keep things simple; like setting up opt-in pages, automated emails, and even quick digital offers that support list growth without the stress.
Make sure that you take the time to ponder the reflective questions to help you journal your way to a more aligned and intentional approach to growing your list.
