Growing Your Email List With YourProfileHub
Why Email Matters
Social media is rented land. Algorithms change, accounts get banned. Your email list? That's yours forever.
Step 1: Create a Lead Magnet
Nobody subscribes to "Join my newsletter." Give them something valuable:
- Checklists (1-2 pages, easy to create)
- Templates that save time
- Guides with actionable advice
- Resource lists ("47 free tools every designer should know")
Be specific. "Get my 23-page guide on getting your first 1,000 Instagram followers" beats "Get my marketing guide."
Step 2: Set Up Email Capture
YourProfileHub integrates with Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Beehiiv, MailerLite, and more. Go to Integrations, connect your platform, select your list.
Step 3: Optimize Your Form
Customizing doubles signup rates:
- Button text: "Get the Free Guide" beats "Subscribe"
- Only ask for email (each field reduces signups 10-15%)
- Add social proof: "Join 2,847 creators getting weekly tips"
Step 4: Deliver the Lead Magnet
Two options:
- Email delivery (recommended): Automation sends welcome email with download link
- Instant page: Redirect to download page immediately
Step 5: Promote It
- Put it at the top of your link list
- Mention in bio: "Download my free guide below"
- Reference in content: "For more, grab my free guide at the link in bio"
Follow Up
Day 1: Send lead magnet. Day 2-3: Ask if they have questions. Day 5-7: Share related tip. Week 2+: Regular email sequence.
