Feeling stuck in email list slow-growth mode? You’re not alone! In this episode of The Creative Bodega, Em shares 3 unexpected (but wildly effective) ways she’s grown her list to over 15K—without funnels, ads, or burnout. These are quick-win strategies you can test this week to finally get momentum: from spontaneous freebies and smart Reels to newsletters people actually love reading. If you’re ready to grow a list of dream clients who want what you offer, this one’s for you.

Things I cover inside the episode:
✨ Why one-off freebies are a secret list-building weapon
✨ How my December Reels Challenge brings in more than engagement
✨ My exact 3-2-1 newsletter format and why people actually forward it
