5 Ways To Build Your List Before You Launch

build your listDo you want to build your list before your next launch?

Great! Reaching new people should be something you’re always doing…

That’s why my main focus in between launches is to keep reaching out to new people…finding new, effective ways to turn those into list building systems, and use tools like Leadpages to keep the whole thing easy for me!

So, if you’re leading up to a launch, want more of the right people to pay attention, and make more sales, today’s episode is for you.

<Here’s what we’re going to cover:

  • exactly how you should approach list building
  • when you should start building your interest list
  • what type of content works the best
  • where you should promote yourself

and so much more!

#5 Promote: Got $100? Use Facebook Ads to boost sign-ups to your free cheatsheet or workbook. Seriously – with a small budget of $10 a day you’ll find that you can add a substantial number of new leads to your list, plus they’ll all want your completely relevant fresh opt-in you’ve created.
