email list growth

This season, we’ve lavished you with options for growing and nurturing your email list. But if you’re anything like us, you want to try them ALL. If you’re having shiny object syndrome, today’s episode will help you gain some clarity.

This week we’ll review the email list growth strategies we discussed this season and offer 9 clarifying questions to ask yourself to determine which strategies will work best for you. And just for fun, we will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how we are growing our email list here at Writing Off Social.
