A few weeks ago, my farmer friend Glen Young (shoutout to Glen!) sent me a message: "Hey, Corinna—did you know your website pop-up isn't popping anymore?"

Uh-oh. Turns out, something had changed inside Kit.com (my email service provider), and I needed to go behind the scenes to tweak a few settings. That pop-up is one of the biggest drivers of email signups for my farm, so I was SO grateful he caught the issue before it went unnoticed for too long.

This got me thinking—how many farmers have a lead magnet set up but aren't actually promoting it in the right places? Or worse, have no idea if it's even working?

So today, I'm breaking down 5 key places you should be advertising your lead magnet so you can grow your email list faster and turn more leads into customers. Plus, I've got a free resource to help you brainstorm 20+ farm lead magnet ideas so you can get started today!

Your homework from this episode is to pick ONE of the ideas I share in the episode and start promoting your lead magnet there on a consistent basis every week!
