Hello,
You need an email list. Plain and simple.
If you want to make a living as a creative, online or not, you need people paying attention to your work.
You need an audience that wants to hear from you and has given you permission to do so.
Email is the perfect platform for a writer, or any creative, to build that audience.
But why? What makes email more important than social media or traffic to your website?
With every other platform, you don’t own your audience. You’re at the mercy of algorithms. You can’t reach out to them directly.
With email, you can talk directly to your audience. You just send them an email.
Because of this, email marketing is the most powerful tool you have to sell your work and make a living.
My friend Tim Grahl, the book launch expert, tested this in his book marketing agency and found that email was nearly 100 times more effective than social media in selling an author’s book.
That’s the power of a direct connection with your audience, which means growing your email list is critically important.
It’s perhaps the single most important thing you can do to grow your business, especially during the pandemic we currently face.
But how do you grow your list?
Where do you start?
The first step is to simply start getting people on your list, and to show you how to do that I’m teaching a 90-minute workshop next week called “How to Get Your First (or Next) 100 Subscribers In Only 2 Hours”.
It’s completely free and you’ll learn a technique I’ve consistently used over the years to grow my email list and help others do the same.

Anybody can do this, even if they’re brand new to email marketing.
It isn’t anything fancy - just a simple method that works.
I hope you’ll join me. Here’s the link again to register.
See you next week.
Best,
Jeff
