Here is a very simple way to build up your email list using social media for promotion.
1. Throw a contest!
– Give something away, one of your products, a gift card, anything you think would grab someone’s attention.
– Set a deadline for the contest. 3-4 days is good. Anything too long like a week or more won’t create enough urgency.
2. Create a new list.
– Depending on what email provider you use (I like Mailchimp), set up a new list, create a sign up form for this contest, then get the url.
3. Spread The Word!
– Let everyone on your Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. know about this cool ass contest you’ve got going on. Remember to include that URL from your email provider.
That’s it! Take Action!
