Have you ever asked that question when an email lands in your inbox? Who the heck ARE you and why are you emailing me about… (fill in the blank)? I had another one of those moments this morning. It took me about 20 minutes of Google searches and following rabbit hole trails to figure out [...]
One of the keys to building my own list fast has been diversifying my methods. I don’t have just one opt-in offer. I don’t promote it in just one way. I build multiple lists and I go for as many list building strategies as I can to find out what works for me. This week, [...]
Are you working to build an opt-in list of people interested in what you’re offering? Here are three simple ways to grow that list. 1. Your Website Put an opt-in form on every page of your website. With the exception of sales pages where you want your reader to focus on one thing (buying your [...]
Ever have your email go missing? You write a friend, you don’t hear back, you find out they didn’t get it… Or you send out an email to your list and get almost no clicks on a link you know they’d be interested in… It’s possible that your signature has gone bad and got you [...]
We worry that we aren’t “enough” or aren’t “ready” to step up. A few weeks ago when I blogged about not sending out a particular promotional email, one of the comments was from someone who worried she’d be bothering her list, too. I’m subscribed to her list! I was able to say (okay, beg) as [...]
This photo is not me. I’m not a gourmet cook. I got a crash course in cooking three weeks before I got married and 12 years later there’s still a 50/50 chance I’ll burn the grilled cheese sandwiches. But about four years ago one of my sons got very sick and we found out he [...]

Since my last code related tutorial, How to Add Social Networking Icons to Your Blog, went over well I decided to share another one. First, why use [...]
Hate pop ups, pop overs, lightboxes, and anything related? Okay, I hear you. You weren’t a fan of my post last week about using a pop up ad. That’s okay. There are other options to boost your newsletter subscriptions. 1. Improve what you’ve already got. You’ve got an opt-in box on your blog or website, [...]
I’m pouting. Because the darn pop up works. My two cents on pop ups (don’t worry, you don’t have to agree with me): I used to detest them! Remember when you’d visit a website and get assaulted by 2 or 3 pop ups that then continued to load every time you loaded a new page [...]
This week I’ve felt like the person on the left, buried alive in my office! Thank goodness email is digital and I’m really not trapped under tons of paper. *grin* It’s been coming… to say I should have done it 6 months ago would be an understatement. I’m finally crying uncle and moving my email [...]
