I am very excited to unveil my top 3 successful opt-ins to skyrocket your Subscribers for creative business owners.

In today’s digital age, building a thriving mailing list is essential for any business, artist, or maker seeking to expand their reach, nurture relationships, and drive conversions.

However, with the ever-increasing competition for attention, it’s crucial to have effective opt-in strategies that entice visitors to subscribe. In this blog, I will unveil my top three opt-in ideas that will supercharge your mailing list and 7 others that I highly recommend to help you skyrocket your subscribers on your mailing list.

Before we start, on the blog post I will refer to opt-in, lead magnets or freebies: they are all the same thing, just different names.

Why do you need to grow your mailing list?

The subscribers of your mailing list are the only asset with your website that you own and have total control over. Your mailing list it’s the best place to connect and nurture a trusting relationship with your subscribers and turn them from followers to clients.

You don’t own social media so if one day Facebook decides to close you would lose all your followers. On the other hand, you own your mailing list and you have access and control over your mailing list.

In this Instagram post, I share why your creative business needs a mailing list. You can read the post by clicking on the picture below.
