From Crickets to Conversions: How to Grow Your List Now for End-of-Year Sales

In this week's pep talk, I share exactly how to grow your email list in September so you can turn those subscribers into sales by the end of the year—without posting every day or burning out on social media.

 

In today's episode, I share:

  • Why most business owners wait too long to grow their list (and how it costs them sales)
  • What’s actually working right now to build your list—like roundtables, monthly workshops, and seasonal freebies
  • How your email list becomes your #1 moneymaker for holiday promotions
  • Real client examples of prepping early and selling with ease
  • My favorite strategies for borrowing other people’s audiences through partnerships, bundles, and swaps
  • If you’ve ever felt like Black Friday comes out of nowhere, this episode will give you the clarity and the plan to grow now so you’re not scrambling later.
