This will get you an email list LIVE on the platform Kit (formerly ConvertKit)!
I've got experience with a good chunk of the 'email service provider' market and Kit is where I've come back to. Simply because it's so intuitive and easy to use as well as being as robust as it oughta be for growing your beautiful business.
Plus, you can grow your email list up to 1000 subscribers before needing to pay a cent.
Nope, not to get started.
And then, only if you want to keep using their automated email sequences feature (aka, having a welcome email or welcome email sequence go out immediately after someone joins your list).
You get 14 days to use it with alllll the features before needing to decide whether to pay for this higher tie or downgrade to the free option.
Nope! Kit includes everything you need.
For example, you'll be creating a landing page that you direct people to so they can sign up for your email list — Kit has a slew of landing page templates (but I'll share my suggestion about which one to choose, and why).
This landing page feature is included whether you end up on the free plan or the paid plan.
This mini course is a pdf which links to google doc templates and 2-4minute-long loom videos (aka screen recordings I talk you through).
Making it a pdf is an intentional move.
I asked myself "what's the lowest-friction way I'd want to work through this if I was getting it DONE in less than 60 minutes?"
And I knew faffing about with course logins, familiarising yourself with a new learning portal etc... wasn't it.
I want this to feel LIGHT, SIMPLE and EASY for you, so you can do what the packet says and start your email list in less than 60 minutes.
That means the way you'll work through this mini course is by following the SEVEN main steps between where you are now, and ‘email list started’.
And because you can move quicker and more easily with explicit instruction, I’ve also spelt out the mini-steps between steps: things like copying a document, or watching a video — these are super quick, low-energy-expenditure tasks that keep you moving forward.
This product exists to make it as easy and fun as possible for you as you get this done.
That's why I put each of the steps into a game board on the penultimate page of the pdf.
Which means if you do nothing else but go to that last page and click on the links on the game board... you will get your email list started in 60 minutes or less.
Here are some past clients' reactions to said gamification:
To be able to fill out the templates easily you'll need to already know what you offer/what your business is about and WHO you want to serve — aka the desires and goals of your best-fit client (which *hint* lines up with what you offer).
This is all to say if you have NO idea what your work is about yet, don't buy this. You'll need to be able to fill in simple things like "Now that you’re here, I can’t wait to share more to support you to [achieve thing your work helps them do]."
YUP. I even invite you to set a timer at the start to see just how swiftly this laid-it-out-for-you, zero-chance-of-getting-lost gamified process makes it for you to get your email list STARTED.
