Meghan Walsh from Roots Ethiopia is back to bring a fresh perspective on how my Grow Your List Ads Challenge (and a killer lead magnet) helped them bring in over 800 email subscribers at $1.93 per lead!

Together, we explore the creativity and collaboration behind Roots Ethiopia’s e-cookbook, which weaves together the allure of Ethiopian cuisine with the organization's heartfelt mission. We discuss the power of email marketing and how strategic timing, such as aligning campaign launches with end-of-year fundraising, can keep supporters engaged and invested.

Meghan walks us through her email sequences that are garnering a 52% average open rate and how she plans to add even more value to her subscribers this spring.

This episode is a testament to how a well-executed lead magnet can do more than just grow an email list - it can build a community!
