A Complete List Building Guide

Including Specific eCommerce Tactics

Let’s cut to the chase: you want more subscribers and solutions to ensure constant growth, not just spikes. Not only that, you want qualified subscribers that are engaged and add to your business’ bottom line. Alright! Let’s talk about how we’re going to do that.

The Epic Email List Building Guide

In this guide I’ll cover everything you need to know in a detailed manner – from concepts to actionable tactics, real life examples and useful tools to go from a trickle of subscribers to a constant stream of new subscribers that will afterwards turn your email marketing into a true sales engine.

I should tell you that this is not an “unleash the force of list building and build a huge list with these incredible strategies” type of guide that tells you to share your content on social media (wow, Facebook Marketing!) or a tidy list of quick wins you can apply just for the sake of small improvements. It’s a comprehensive guide that will require a moderate amount of time and energy to implement.

But it’s worth it. After going through this series, you will be able to:

  • Devise a list building strategy that you can actually implement
  • Apply the most effective tactics for your business
  • Optimize each part of the list building process

Last but not least, I’ve rarely seen list building guides or tips focused on eCommerce, so I’ve taken that into consideration throughout the guide and added specific tactics & advice for online stores.

Warning: this can be considered a huge guide (and it’s still work in progress), so it’s not something you can finish in your lunch break. I’d advise you to bookmark or to subscribe so you won’t lose out on the other articles that will be published under the series (I’ll let you in on a secret: it’s part of something even bigger).
