Here we go, finally. Mind maps take time! This is one way, just one way, you can approach building your email list. Maybe there’s a better way for your purposes. Generally speaking, we recommend using “confirmed opt-in” (some call it “double opt-in”) and offering some clear incentive for your readers to get on your email subscriber list.

The process explained in this video and outlined in the mind map assumes that you are creating content, or at least can, that your readers will find valuable. Valuable enough that they don’t mind “paying” with their email addresses, and precious attention. Another approach could be to just give it all away, completely free, no email payment required. If you are continually producing high quality content and giving away great free advice, your readers may well decide to get on your email list just so they don’t miss out.
You can download Email List Building, Confirmed Opt-in Mind Map in this video.
Check back next week for Part 2, or even better, get on our list and we’ll send it to you when we post it.
As a CTO I used to work with liked to say “Comments, questions, flames? Lemme have ‘em.”
(Update: Email List Building Part 2 is now available.)
Tracy, I really liked your content and your presentation. Keep up the good work. I have downloaded the mind map viewer and the mindmaps. Now I am going to subscribe to your list.
Take care.
Great Albert. Thanks for the comment. Let me know if you have any questions.
