Chances are if you’re reading this, you’ve started to build an email list, or you’ve at least thought about starting one. You’ve probably heard that having an email list is important, but you may be wondering how those subscribers can translate into more book sales, and how you grow your list to even bigger numbers.
In this interview, I chat with email marketing expert Lauren Pawell about many topics that are relevant to authors and business owners alike, including how to grow your list, how to get your subscribers to actually open your emails, how to keep your emails out of the spam folder, how to come up with an idea for a lead magnet that people will actually want to sign up for, and the top 3 mistakes Lauren sees small business owners make all the time when it comes to email marketing.
