Hi Friend,

This week, during a mentoring session with one of my clients, he shared a concern that’s all too familiar:

“I only have one subscriber from my lead magnet who isn’t a friend, family member, or colleague. Building a list feels overwhelming, and it stresses me out!”

His frustration struck a chord because I know how daunting it can feel to grow a subscriber list from scratch. 

When your list is small or primarily made up of people you already know, it’s easy to doubt whether your message is resonating with the right audience.

The truth is, growing a list of high-converting subscribers—the kind who truly value your expertise and are eager to hear from you—is a challenge every entrepreneur faces. But it’s also one of the most rewarding aspects of building your business.

The good news? Creating an audience doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right strategies and a steady effort, you can grow a list that supports your business and fuels your growth.

To help you navigate this journey, I want to share three powerful resources from mentors who’ve mastered the art of list building: Ellen Finkelstein, Cindy Bidar, and Connie Ragen Green.
