Build an online profile

Seek out opportunities to increase your visibility online by writing topics related to your industry.

  • Become blog contributor
  • Syndicate your content
  • Become a guest on industry podcasts or video series

Building an online profile for your business can help drive targeted traffic to your website, and those who are already interested in your business will be more likely to subscribe to your email list.

Promote your email campaigns on social media

Build a form within your email marketing service and post it on your social media channels. This will allow followers to sign up for your list.

Another way to promote your emails on social media is to share the most recent edition. Giving users a way to see what they’ll be getting when they sign up is a great way to get them on board as subscribers.
