The problem is, just because it worked for them it doesn’t mean it will work for you!

How to use an email list effectively.

When it comes to utilizing a tool like an email list, the name of the game is cultivation. You’ve got to make sure you are delivering relevant and helpful content to your target audience who are staying subscribed to your email list. Think about how you would want someone to engage with you! Would you be likely to stay subscribed to an email list if all they did was ask you to buy their product? Probably not! But if they showed up and delivered value that was relevant to your interest with an occasional ask - you’d probably stick around. Hear more about Scott’s approach to cultivating and utilizing an email list by listening to this episode!
