Newsletters are a bomb!

I can clearly remember when I started building on Twitter

I was excited and scared at the same time

Excited that I'll meet new people and put myself out there

Scared that I might be roasted based on my contents

But I've come to realize that it's okay to suck at the beginning

You don't have to be great to start. Learning is a never ending process.

Starting something and sticking to it for a long term is usually not easy

Things like:

- writing every morning

- going to the gym

- building your brand

- starting your newsletter

All these requires consistent efforts

In our last meeting, I made mention of starting a newsletter

I'll tell you how to go about it in today's meeting 😊

Ready? Let's go 🔥

Building your brand is one thing and starting your newsletter is another

Newsletter is an excellent way to;

- engage with your clients

- expand your brands reach

- increase sales

It doesn't matter whether you're a small or big creator

(Btw I'm a small creator😁)

You can build a long lasting relationship with your clients through you newsletter

Best part? It's totally free 🎉

Okay okay, let's get into the steps right away 😌

STEP ONE 

- SET YOUR EMAIL NEWSLETTER STRATEGY

You should have goals and objectives for your newsletter

For your newsletter to be successful you should have this questions in mind

- who is my target audience and what are their needs?

- what are the goals of my newsletter?

- what kind of contents should I send to my subscribers?

- how frequently will I send my emails ( twice a week...?)

- what value will my subscribers receive from each email I send?

You should be able to decide how your newsletter will add value

STEP TWO

- CHOOSE A NEWSLETTER SITE

There are so many newsletter software to choose from

There is;

- convertkit

- beehiiv

- MailChimp etc

Choose a campaign that'll allow you to easily create an attractive and engaging campaigns

(Btw, I use beehiiv 😊)

STEP THREE 

- SET UP YOUR NEWSLETTER

Once you're done creating your account on any newsletter platform of your choice

Next is to decide the name of your newsletter campaign

( I'm sure you know mine 😁)

You'll come up with something unique for sure 😊

STEP FOUR

- CREAT A LANDING WHERE PEOPLE WILL SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR NEWSLETTER

Beehiiv made this super easy for me

Just go straight to the design tab and play with it but not too much 😊

Add up what your subscribers will get from you after they've subscribed

Add a subscribe button or any text you wish 😌

STEP FIVE 

- CREATE A WELCOME EMAIL

It wouldn't be nice if you invite someone to your house and when the person shows up, you didn't welcome him/her

That's not nice at all

Welcome your subscribers with an email

Tell them you're excited to have them

Say a brief introduction about yourself

Talk about what they'll expect in the coming emails

Encourage them to reply

Once you get a reply, respond too

Build a relationship with your subscribers

STEP SIX

- ATTRACT YOUR SUBSCRIBERS

Simply do this by adding your newsletter autoplug link to your tweets

Make noise about it 😅

No one will penalize you

STEP SEVEN 

- PREVIEW AND SEND A TEXT EMAIL

Send out a test email to your subscribers

I have two email account

One for my brand and the other for my school and other stuffs (including signing up to other newsletters)

I actually used my other email to subscribe to my brands email newsletter

Checked the fonts and it was good to go

Be sure to also test both on desktop and mobile device

Beehiiv can also help you to preview that.

STEP EIGHT

- SEND YOUR EMAILS

Sending emails to your subscribers helps to nurture them

Schedule your emails, pick a send time

You can also send your emails immediately

Like I said earlier, starting a newsletter requires consistent efforts 

It comes with so many benefits

(Can't list it all 😅)

To show my sincere appreciate for the replies I've been getting from my previous emails

I'll not just teach you, I'll help you set up your newsletter

Create a welcome email for you

I'll tell you everything I know about email marketing

I'll teach you how to write engaging emails

Best part? I'll offer you 1:1 coaching (for a week) 

Don't worry I'm not stealing anything to you 😁

(not now, in the future 😌)

It's actually free

But it's only limited to three person's. Just three.
