Are you willing to risk all of these??
Overcoming your fear of starting your newsletter.
( This is gon be a deep dive letter,will take 3min of your time)
My mind was filled with so much noise..I felt it was gon explode.
The sun was still in deep sleep but I was wide awake sitting in my pitch dark room.
I had disturbing thoughts which scares me as hell.
What if nobody reads it?
What if people leave because they don't like it?
What do I even write?
Phew.
Can I even start this up?
But..But..
If I don't do this,I'll be risking a lot.
> Imagine losing all my 770 followers.
> What if I just waste all my 8 months of building my personal brand.
> Imagine throwing away millions of $$
I said to myself
"I can't LOOSE all of these!"
I need to get to action ASAP!
Eddy's thread just came in hand like flash. I immediately devoured it and set to work.( Link at the end of mail)
I didn't mind having
A fancy name.
A pretty banner.
A professional landing page.
I just decided to do it anyway.
Btw I set all of these up in just 20min.
There are so many ESP.
Substack.
Mailchamp
Bee hive.
Covert kit.
I chose bee hive. It was the easiest I could navigate through.
I did everything..
Used my name as the newsletter name..Used my picture as the logo.
Did some little setting up.
Wrote a short welcome email
And tada..
My email was live.
Made a tweet about it and i got around 10 subscribers!
It was a huge one for me.
Now,I had two more problems:
1.What to write about.
2.How to get more subscribers.
What to write about:
I can easily just copy and paste my threads or other people's work..
Nah..
I made a promise in my welcome email to take all of the lessons in this newsletter from my personal experience.
And I don't want to be someone who doesn't keep to her words.So I sat down and then asked myself this 2 questions:
What had happened in my life in the past.
What is happening in my life right now.
I had lots of story Worthy moments from these 2 questions.
I then,pick a story,and then attach a lesson to it.
I know I don't know how to craft a compelling story.
But it doesn't hurt if I try my best and develop my storytelling skill in the process.
Storytelling is more art than science and the best way to learn it is to understand what makes a good story then practice telling them until you get it.
Pro Tip: 80% of storytelling is about learning how to frame your story in a way that makes the story engaging and meaningful.
And that's what I'm practicing with my email.
Now,How can I get more people in my 'boat'?
I know of 3 ways:
1.Using a lead magnet.
2.Doing a giveaway.
3.Talking about your newsletter every day.
And I've tried all of them and the work well!
Especially that giveaway.
I got over 100 subs from it.
It's been 31 days and we are 235 Active subscribers!
Now,to you.
If you want to grow an online business?
Whatever you do, make sure you build and mail your email list.
Make sure 100% of your social media strategy should be to create content that generates traffic for your list.
Why?
Because the money is in the list!
I want you to start NOW!
It takes 20 minutes to “prepare” to set up your newsletter.

Tweet about it.
Start putting out content.
You can do all of that right now.
