Do you know how to build an email list for your small business? If this has been on “one-day-I’ll-do-that-list,” well, today is that day!
My special guest today is email marketing expert Jenny Shih and she’s simplifying how to build an email list. With so much change afoot (the kids are back in school, routines are once again getting cemented in, and life is barreling on), there seems to be one thing that still rings true, now more than ever: email marketing.
Yeah, building an email list. In last week’s replay episode with Leonie Dawson, she talked about the fact that she’s created a massively successful business in 10 hours a week and a large part of her secret is building and nurturing her email list.
And that reminded me of this conversation I had back in season one with Jenny Shih where she simplified how to build an email list.
Here’s how.

My special guest today is Jenny Shih and she’s simplifying how to build an email list.
We tackle all aspects of it, including:
- How to get your first 1000 subscribers
- Why creating an irresistible freebie for your target audience is easier than you think
- How to overcome the tech overwhelm that stops many of us (dead in our tracks) from even starting
- …and ultimately, what common mistakes people make in email marketing and list-building, so you don’t have to make them yourself.
As we all get back to the swing of things, maybe now is the time to allocate a little time towards email marketing as well? While in-person networking is on hold due to the pandemic, maybe this is an alternative way to connect with people who love your brand? Jenny simplifies it all for us, step by step.
And don’t forget… next week, we are coming back with all brand-new content on The Simplifiers Podcast and I can’t wait for you to hear it!
You’ve reached out and told us what you wanted us to simplify next on the podcast… and we’ve delivered! Everything from ‘how to go vegan’ to ‘mastering your finances’ to ‘learning how to finally finish that next big project’… it’s all starting back up next week.
