#47: Newletter Masterclass

Happy Tuesday EduCreator!

I was resistant to starting a newsletter for the longest time. I struggled with sending one newsletter a week so if you had told me I’d be running a daily (M-F) newsletter, I probably would have laughed. Now I know, whether it’s daily or weekly, the key is getting started and finding a consistent system for sharing high-value content with your audience.

In today’s space, we hosted a Newsletter Masterclass and focused on innovation with the help of advanced technologies. Whether you’re a pro or a beginner, I recommend listening to the replay for today’s space because we start at the very beginning and share useful, innovative frameworks for building your newsletter business, starting today!

Growing an Email List: 3-Part Guide

I have created a 3-part series visual guide for anyone who needs support with starting or growing their email list. In these guides, I focus on using Google Forms, Google Sheets, and Beehiiv to build your list.

Part 1: Setting up with Google Forms and Sheets

Part 2: Adding Subscribers to Beehiiv and Welcome Email

Part 3: Building Your Automated Sequence

If you haven’t yet created your AI-Powered Lead Magnet with the Educational Email Course Creator GPT, you can sign up for the free 5-Day course by answering this poll (click yes or no will activate the course):

Sign up for a Beehiiv account with my partner link and get 30 days free instead of 14, plus 20% off first 3 months. If you don’t monetize in 30 days with this system, cancel your subscription. No risk.

Have a great day!

Free Course: “The AI-Powered Lead Magnet: Boost Sales with Automation and Personalization”

Are you ready to learn how to use AI to effectively market your digital product or grow your email list? This 5-day educational email course will guide you! Learn how to boost sales with AI automation and personalization. To create this course, I used the content from our last 7 weeks of learning together as a community to design a customized course that provides solutions to pain points EduCreators are experiencing.

To begin, simply click yes or no on this poll and you will active the automated course sequence:

Beehiiv Offer

Are you ready to give Beehiiv a try? If you use my partner link to sign up, you’ll get a 30 day free trial and 20% off of the 3 month subscription. This means you can try the product risk free for 30 days. Set a challenge for yourself to earn the cost of the plan in that time so you go into the subscription on the positive revenue generating side. If you do sign up, let me know and I’ll give you a free 1:1 set up call.

Guides: Building Your Email List

Mini-Lesson: Promoting Your Community Newsletter

To promote a community newsletter and increase subscribers, you can implement the following strategies based on the provided sources:

1. Offer Incentives: Provide valuable incentives to encourage people to sign up for your newsletter. This could include discounts, exclusive content, or other relevant offers that appeal to your target audience[1][3].

2. Utilize Social Media: Leverage social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to promote your newsletter. Share snippets of your content, engage with followers, and include calls-to-action encouraging them to subscribe[2][3].

3. Create a Dedicated Landing Page: Build a professional and informative landing page specifically for promoting your newsletter. This page should highlight the benefits of subscribing, showcase testimonials, and make it easy for visitors to sign up[5].

4. Encourage Sharing: Make it easy for current subscribers to share your newsletter with others by including social sharing links in your emails and on your landing page. Word-of-mouth recommendations can be powerful in growing your subscriber base[3].

5. Host Events: Organize events like webinars or meetups tailored to your audience's interests. These events can help strengthen connections with readers and attract new subscribers[2].

6. Monitor Performance: Regularly analyze metrics like open rates, click-through rates, and social media engagement to understand what strategies are working best. Use this data to refine and improve your promotional efforts[4].

By implementing these strategies effectively, you can promote your community newsletter successfully, attract more subscribers, and build a thriving community around your content.
