How to Grow Your Email List in 7 Days

You know how important it is. We don’t have to tell you. Your email list is one of the most valuable parts of your business… or at least it should be.

But yours isn’t growing, not as fast as you know it should be anyway. Or, maybe you haven’t even started one. You’re worried your competitors are passing you by because their lists are growing much faster. You’re right to worry. You should be worried.

Here’s the thing: growing an email list isn’t magic. It doesn’t take creative genius. The difference between a stagnate list and a healthy, growing one can be easily overcome with a little bit of work.

First, let me tell you an embarrassing secret.

We migrated to this blog, The Sparkline, back in November of 2013 from another popular blog we ran called Think Traffic. We carefully designed the new blog and meticulously planned our content strategy. We made sure not to squander our launch.

But there was one massive problem after we made the switch: our email list growth absolutely flatlined. We already had a sizable list, but growth suddenly stopped. And it was all. our. fault.

When we made the switch, I remember a specific conversation we had about the email list. We intentionally decided to launch with a really basic email offer, literally it was just a sidebar box that said “follow by email”. We thought we’d start with the basic box, and see what happened.

Well, what happened was, growth ground to a complete halt.

We knew better, but launched with a lame email offer anyway. Looking back on it is pretty embarrassing. But it also means we understand exactly the situation you might be in.

Long story short, like dummies, we waited almost an entire year before doing something about our email growth problem. We waited, and we paid a serious price.

Look at this graph:

Notice what happens starting in October, 2014: serious, consistent growth.

That is why we created this 7-day “grow your email list” challenge. We’ll explain to you exactly what happened to us, and how we jump-started our growth. We don’t want you to make the same dumb mistake we made, waiting an entire year to finally do something to grow your list.
