I invested in a beautiful website theme. I spent days crafting blog posts. I connected with influencers. I poured my energy into growing an Instagram following of over 1,000 followers and promoting my writing on other social media sites.

And, yet, only a handful of my social media followers would read my blog posts and even less subscribed to my email list.

No matter how hard I tried promoting my writing online, my email list grew at a snail’s pace. So I began researching email list building strategies, went to marketing conferences, and consulted with some of the top innovators in the marketing field. Then I started implementing what I’d learned.

In November of 2016, my email list finally began to grow. By November of 2017, it had grown from 200 to over 2,000 subscribers (in just 12 months!).

Now when I publish a blog post, I send out an email, and within minutes, hundreds of people have read it. Often I get more email replies than I get comments on my blog.

I’ve worked with high-ticket web design and copywriting clients who found me through my email list. And I’ve created small digital products that have earned $1,000 in the first week of sales. My writing has been published in big publications like The Muse. And my website was voted one of the top 100 websites for writers by The Write Life (thanks in part to a flurry of nominations from my loyal readers).

I’m not sharing my story to brag. I’m sharing it to show you what’s possible. If I could do it, you can too.

It didn’t take me years to get these results. And it had nothing to do with luck. I used strategies that anyone can use, even if you’re starting with an audience of zero and have no marketing or technical expertise at all.

Now, it certainly wasn’t easy to get to this point. I had to figure out which email strategies were the most effective and which ones would attract subscribers who would actually be excited to read what I was writing (no sleazy marketing tactics allowed).

That’s why I created this course for you.

It’s the course I wish I’d had when I was first getting started. I want to save you all the time I spent experimenting so you don’t end up wasting valuable time on things that don’t work.

This course is a compilation of everything I’ve learned after many months of trial and error and attending seminars and coaching worth thousands of dollars. I’ve put together the most powerful list building strategies so you can promote your work effectively and find your audience online.
