LIST FROM SCRATCH

A PROVEN STEP-BY-STEP BLUEPRINT ON EXACTLY HOW TO GROW YOUR EMAIL LIST

LET ME GUESS...

You're a multi-passionate solopreneur who wants to grow your business online. 

You're bright, talented and ambitious, and you're wearing ALL the hats in your biz. 

You know that in order to grow your business you need to grow your email list and you've been thinking about it for months... maybe even years!
 
But it feels overwhelming and you’re not sure where to start.  
 
Despite the evidence that growing your list should be your top priority, you’ve delayed taking action until you feel you’re ready to be consistent.
 
It feels like a big commitment, so instead you do the easy thing and post on Instagram hoping the algorithm will favor you this time.

If you're relying solely on Instagram to grow your business, you're making a big mistake.

LET'S TALK INSTAGRAM

I hear it from folks across the gram, sometimes IG is down right frustrating.

It took me three years to gain 1,000 followers. Then I got super intentional and gained 1-2k followers a month, consistently for a couple of years! My following grew, and so did my income.

I thought I had it all figured out. The world was mine to conquer! But then in 2018, the famous algorithm shifted and growth dramatically slowed.

Luckily, I knew a secret that many smart folks seem to be missing. 

IMAGINE THIS...

You spend hours each day curating beautiful photos, writing the perfect captions, doing giveaways and engaging.

You're starting to grow your audience. Business is increasing. Your client base is growing.

OMG you're making more money than ever before!

Then, BAM.


All of the sudden, your followers aren't seeing your posts anymore. Your income drops and all that hard work feels like it's been wasted.

If you're not converting your fans to your email list, you're taking a huge risk to your biz.

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

There is so much to do...
 
You are just one person...
 
You'd rather spend your time creating products or helping your clients...

You’d love to outsource this, but you are the CEO of your biz and know it’s something you need to understand...

You know you need to gain visibility and CONVERT those followers to your email list.

But, HOW?!

ENTER...

FAQ's

How long is the course + how long will it take me to complete?

If you're wondering how long it will take to work through the course, it really depends! It all comes down to how much time you're willing to invest in doing the work of building your list.
But when it comes to working through the course content...
A good rule of thumb is 2 - 3 hours per module

Are there any live calls or support as part of the course?

I love it when my clients say I'm their biggest cheerleader, and that's what I want to be for you! Your list building cheerleader. So, although this course is self-paced and self-guided, I'll be hanging out over in the List From Scratch community, ready to brainstorm, problem-solve and virtual cheers you as you nail each step of the List From Scratch program!

I EARNED AN EXTRA $3K

I already had a healthy email list, but needed support, accountability, and strategy so that I could take full advantage of it. Within the first couple of months I earned nearly $3,000 IN SALES FROM NEW EMAIL CAMPAIGNS.
 
I've learned so many amazing tools, am sending emails with more ease / regularity, and LOVING IT instead of feeling like it's another chore or a techy headache. I can't wait to create new digital courses to provide value to my ideal clients while earning a passive income.
