The Smartest Way to Grow Your Email List (Fast)

Good morning 👋
We’re officially halfway through the year (how??), which makes this your sign to audit your email list if you haven’t already.
Some of those subscribers have been sitting there more inactive than your friend’s gym membership after January.
It’s time to clean house, double down on what’s working, and make room for the people who actually want to hear from you.
Today’s email is all about growth—the smart, strategic, AI-assisted kind. Let’s get into it 👇

What’s the best place to promote my lead magnet?
The Marketing Move
Go From 0 to 10K Subs
I polled thousands of people over the weekend and the top email marketing struggle? 👉 Getting subscribers.
Not shocking. No list = no leads = no launch day confetti.
The real issue? Most people aren’t offering something worth opting in for.
Enter: the lead magnet. AKA your list-building MVP- something free and genuinely useful in exchange for an email.
Think:
A guide, checklist, or template
A quiz or mini-training
A spicy “10 Mistakes You’re Making With Your Marketing” PDF (we’ve all been there)
The key? Solve one clear problem, fast. So I built a custom AI prompt to take the guesswork out of creating lead magnets that actually convert.

Because your success actually means something to me and I don’t want you spinning your wheels on freebies that flop.
Use it, test it, launch it then go get those subs.
Let me know how it goes and if you want feedback on your lead magnet idea or want to make sure it actually lands with your audience, send it my way to get a feedback report.

The Feed Check
Think of this like a vibe check for your emails.
Go peek at your last 3–5 sends and ask:
What got opened?
What got clicked?
What got ignored (or unsubscribed)?
Then reverse-engineer it. Repeat what’s resonating. Retire what’s not.
Your audience is always telling you what they want you just have to look.

One Prompt to Rule Them All
Hey Chat……..Write My Next Email
These prompts are built for trained AI systems that already understand your tone, voice, and positioning. This one’s made to help you create email content that actually connects and converts.
Prompt:
You are a world-class email copywriter trained in my voice, brand tone, and marketing goals. Your job is to help me write an email that educates, builds trust, and lightly positions my offer without sounding salesy.
Here’s what you need to know:
My audience: [describe your audience]
My offer: [describe your offer or product]
This week’s goal: [educate, nurture, promote, etc.]
Main topic or hook: [insert your email idea here]
Write a full email with a clear through-line, conversational tone, and one CTA aligned with my weekly goal. Keep it skimmable, strategic, and voice-consistent.
Try it out and let me know how it goes!
Ask the Inbox
“What’s the best place to promote my lead magnet?”
Short answer: Everywhere people already see you.
Most people build a great freebie and then post it once… maybe twice… and assume it’s the lead magnet’s fault when no one opts in.
But visibility beats perfection every time.
So, where should you be promoting it?
Your email signature. Your Instagram bio. Your calendar booking link. The pinned post you forgot existed.
You don’t need more content you need more visibility.
If your lead magnet is good, hiding it isn’t humble… it’s sabotage.
If you treat your lead magnet like an afterthought, your audience will too.
So post it. Pin it. Link it. Share it again and again.
Got a question you want featured next?
Reply to this email. We might roast it lovingly (and answer it thoroughly) in next week’s Ask the Inbox.
Before You Go
If you’re waiting for the “right time” to grow your list, launch your lead magnet, or finally start sending emails again…
Spoiler: there is no right time.
You don’t need more planning. You need momentum.
The magic happens after you hit publish, not before.
So stop stalling. Start sending.
And let the data, not your doubts, tell you what’s working.
See you next Tuesday.

That’s it for this week.
Keep showing up, keep writing with heart because taking imperfect action will always beat waiting for perfect.
