Over the past several weeks, the blogosphere has been buzzing with talk of a new EU privacy law called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that will go into effect on May 25.

This November, I’ve been putting the finishing touches on my soon-to-be-released eBook How to Grow Your Email List: A Step by Step Guide for Writers.

In this in-depth book, I’m compiling all of the strategies I’ve used to grow my email list from 200 to over 2,000 subscribers in just one year. And I show you step-by-step how you can use them to grow your online audience too.

I’m planning to release the book this December. But in today’s blog post, I’m sharing a sneak peek of one of the chapters. It’s about a very cool email list building strategy: giveaways! 🙂

Running a giveaway is one of my favorite email list building strategies. It’s a fun way for you to show your current subscribers how much you appreciate their support. And, at the same time, it’s an effective way to attract new subscribers to your list. (Don’t have an email list yet? Check out my blog post here for how you can get started.) [Read more…]
