Is your email list growing at a snail’s pace (or not at all)? If so, I can almost guarantee you’re making at least one of these four mistakes. And even worse? These mistakes are probably costing you more than just subscribers—they're costing you customers.

I’ve built an engaged email list of over 47,000 subscribers who reply to my emails, buy my products, and even refer my newsletter to others in their industry. And in today’s episode, I’m sharing exactly what’s stopping your email list from growing—plus how to fix it.

In this episode, you’ll hear…

1. Why no one is downloading your freebie (and how to create one that people actually want)
2. How to find simple, low-effort email list growth opportunities that don’t involve PDFs, webinars, or complicated downloads
3. The BIGGEST mistake I see when it comes to promoting your freebie (hint: you’re probably not talking about it enough)
4. How to tap into referrals and share-ability to bring in more of the right subscribers with way less effort
