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 (do you remember Myspace?) 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.

MY TOP 3 FREEBIES
A FREE GUIDE TO MACRAME- 3 simple tutorials
This is the most popular OPT-IN I have created.
A crafting guide within your area of expertise is not only simple but also incredibly effective. Whether it’s a guide on selecting the ideal candle for meditation, essential tools for macrame enthusiasts, or a comprehensive 5-step guide for achieving the perfect glazing, these resources showcase your authority in your niche and foster trust among your audience.
What’s more, these opt-in guides serve as a gateway to foster active participation within your online community.

The trust and authority established through your guides create a fertile ground for meaningful relationships and conversions.

These challenges offer a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are eager to learn and explore the art of macrame. The interactive nature of the challenges creates a sense of excitement and exclusivity, prompting participants to willingly join my mailing list to access the valuable content and guidance provided during the event.
Building on the success of these live challenges, I decided to transform one of my most successful events into a timeless freebie, ensuring that anyone can join and experience the fun, regardless of availability or time constraints. By offering this freebie, I’ve eliminated barriers and expanded the reach of my macrame community. Now, subscribers can embark on the macrame journey at their own convenience, immersing themselves in the joy of creating beautiful knots and designs.
Moreover, participating in the macrame challenge freebie has additional benefits beyond the event itself.
