We’ve settled the foundation—your page is up, optimized, and easily findable in your profile. Now, it’s time to create a post that will inform others about how to join your email list and get closer to you. Once you’ve posted, drop a link to your post in the comments here to be entered to win. Here’s a template to get started: ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m writing about XYZ over in my newsletter — and it’s both scary and exciting. Here’s the type of content I’m sharing with [YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE]: - One fun topic you share - Another fun topic you share - Another fun topic you share If this sounds like you and/or anyone you know, drop an emoji, and I’ll send you the link to sign up.

Today’s not about talking up your own newsletter for a change. It’s about sharing the spotlight with others, linking arms with fellow creators, and growing together. Today, you’re shouting out someone else’s newsletter! If you’re on Substack, restack their newsletter. If you’re on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, pull a quote from a recent blog, podcast, or newsletter and share it along with a link to opt-in to their content. Be sure to tag the creator in your post so they see it. Ideally, they’ll chime in with a thank you and might even share your post, shouting them out, which will help you garner attention. At the very least, you’ll get goodwill. Here's an example of one of my posts shouting out another creator. Pro tip: You don’t need to shout out people with massive lists. Instead, pick some of the people who are at a similar level or just ahead of you on the list growth journey. Post a link to your post here when you’re done.
