Key Takeaways
-
Consistency is key: Emailing once a month isn't enough to stay top of mind. Set a goal to increase frequency and build trust.
-
Commit to your message: Stop pivoting too often. Give yourself time to learn, grow, and see results.
-
Create a welcome sequence: Use it to introduce your personality, vision, and values so subscribers instantly connect with you.
-
Scrub your list regularly: Removing inactive subscribers improves deliverability and keeps your list healthy.
-
Start selling now: Don't wait for a "magic number" of subscribers. Selling early helps you learn what resonates.
-
Avoid distractions: Focus on money-making tasks like writing, sending, and growing your list instead of busy work.
