💌 Why Every Smart Entrepreneur Needs an Email List (Like… Yesterday)
No one wants to talk about it but... You don’t own your Instagram. You don’t own your TikTok. You don’t own your followers. But your email list? That’s your digital real estate. 🏡 If social media disappeared tomorrow (or your account got hacked… again), your list is the one thing that keeps your business alive and thriving. Here’s why this matters: Email converts 6x higher than social media. Yep, industry data shows average email conversion rates hover around 15-25%, while social media averages less than 2%. You own it. No algorithm, no shadowbans, no “engagement drop.” It’s your most profitable asset. Every person who opts in is saying, “Hey, I want to hear from you again.” That’s gold. 🚀 How to Start (Even if You’re at Zero) 1) Create a Lead Magnet (Freebie) Something simple and high-value: a checklist, template, training, mini guide or eh, a customGPT. Example: “5 AI Prompts That Save Me 5 Hours a Week” or “The Biz Systems Starter Kit.” 2) Add a Subscribe Option Everywhere Bio link, stories, captions, YouTube descriptions, podcast show notes. “Click here to grab my free guide” should be as automatic as your morning coffee. 3) Repurpose Your Top Social Posts into Emails Already have great performing posts? Don’t reinvent the wheel. Here’s a ChatGPT prompt you can use 👇 🤖 "Turn this Instagram caption into an engaging email for my business audience.
