Grow Your Email List With Anya Manes

Having a list of subscribers who are into what you're doing is a HUGE game changer in your business. If you're selling a course or membership or workshop series or really ANY kind of scaled offer, you want an email list. I know my own email list needed to hit 600 people before I was making a significant income in my business. I still have a relatively small list, of just over 2000 people as I'm recording this. I say that to say that you don't need a HUGE list to make a good living, but you do need a list of people who want your stuff. If you're working on getting your first 1000 subscribers or your next thousand, you're going to want to hear this. My guest is Anya Manes, an educator and coach who helps parents have open communication with their kids so they can talk about sex and relationships. She's grown an email list of 8000 people. If you google how to grow an email list, you might find some helpful resources, but you'll also find some icky tactics there that don't really resonate. An email list that was grown with those kinds of tactics is NOT the kind of email list you want. You want an email list you grew by offering value. That's exactly what Anya Manes has done. Here's some of what we talked about: Why and how she helps parents get out of a rut of shaming around sex and sexuality Being called to do this work as a classroom teacher How she started building her email list 50 people at a time Using workshops and public speaking to build her list Creating an interview series about talking to kids about sex (and bringing 3000 people to her list) Bad summits vs. valuable summits How she nurtures her email list over time with valuable weekly content How she manages her time with parenting, business and the rest of her life Learning through discovery calls what she should create for her clients Why high pressure sales are never part of consent Show notes at http://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/130
