345. Your Email List Is Rotting. Here's the Fix.

from The Launch Lounge Podcast · host Salome Schillack

Your email list isn't dead — it just doesn't have a job description yet. 🚀 You're showing up, emailing consistently, doing everything right. And yet nobody's clicking, nobody's buying, and the silence is starting to feel personal. Before you clean your list, grow your list, or change your subject lines — there's one question you need to ask first: what is my list actually for right now? In this episode, I share how I accidentally halved my own list (and my podcast downloads in the same week) by following list-cleaning best practices a little too literally. I also read out a real email from a listener called Beth — 12,200 subscribers, a 60% opt-in conversion rate, growing fast — and still completely stuck on what to do next. If your list feels like it's not pulling its weight, this one will give you a lot of clarity. 🔥 In This Episode: Why "grow your list" and "clean your list" are usually the wrong first questions The real reason a once-converting list quietly stops working (hint: the market shifted) What Beth's story reveals about the difference between list growth and list monetisation The one-sentence exercise that gives your email list a clear job — and makes everything easier from here ✨ Proven your course sells but scaling feels like a whole other job?
