How I went From 0 to 4000 subscribers overnight

Back when I started Email Marketing, I had a “minor” problem I didn’t have a list.

The thought of slowly building my list one person at a time wasn’t an option, so I had to come up with a plan.

A week later, I had a list of 4000 .. you could say the plan worked.

In this article I’ll lay out what I did and how I would do it if I was starting over.

0-4000 Subscribers

The first thing I did was what everyone who builds a list does. I created a high-value report about blogging and a landing page on it’s own domain.

After that, things got different.

Step 1

I duplicated the report and the landing page and set up a 2nd domain. I now had 2 identical reports and landing pages.

Step 2

I emailed every marketer I’d interacted with who I knew was teaching blogging and related topics and said something along the following lines.

Hi <name>,

I loved the email about XYZ you sent yesterday it inspired me to get my ass in gear (Flattery is never wasted & Show you pay attention!)
