Show where we show you how to turn your ideas into reality and become a wildly
successful entrepreneur, Carrie Green, She Means Business.
Hey, it's Carrie here, founder of Female Entrepreneur Association and author of
She Means Business. And I'm so excited for this video, because it's all about
how you can get your first 1000 email subscribers, something that every single
one of us can do, and then we can go way beyond that. So in another video, I
shared with you some ideas of what you can create to get people to sign up to
your email list. If you haven't watched that video yet, then definitely go and
check out the link is below. So yeah, go and check that video out. It's gonna be
really helpful if you're stuck on ideas of how to actually get people to sign up
for your email list. But in this video, I'm going to share with you once you've
created your freebie the thing you want to get people to sign up for how you can
actually get it out there how you can actually start to get people to sign up
for it in a big way. So the first really big way you can get people to sign up
for your freebie is by using Facebook ads. Facebook ads are so powerful when
it comes to list building, it has been one of the biggest ways that I have
built my email list. And you might be like, oh, Facebook ads, but I don't want
to pay for it. But seriously, you can really scale your business fast, it can
really help you to get to 1000 subscribers fast. And the best part is
is that it doesn't have to cost of fortune. If you do it right. If you do
it right, you can definitely get your leads down so that you're getting
subscribers for $1, even less than $1, I have run some ads where I get people
signed up for 30 cents, it's crazy 30 cents for an email. So then once they're
on your email list, you can then build a relationship with them. And you can
offer them the services products, digital products that you have available
for them, and turn them into customers. So it's worth doing, I always think
sometimes you have to pay to play. And Facebook ads is an amazing way to scale.
So think about the freebies that you offer. And think about the kind of ads
that you could create to get people to sign up. As a little tip, I find that
the more simple the ad, the better it converts for me. So you want to create
an incredible, beautiful graphic that's going to really align and resonate with
your audience and your brand. And then just keep the description really, really
sure I'm going to give you an example of one of my ads which convert the best so
you can see exactly how I do it. And I'll also send you I'll leave the link
to the signup page, then you can see how I what I write on the signup page.
Because this opt in converts so well. So you can go and check all out and take
inspiration from it for your own Facebook ads. So the second way you can
get people to sign up for your freebie is to create content around them. So for
example, whenever I am doing a free video series and getting people to sign
up for my video series, I will always create a blog post to tell people about
the video theories, the transformation they're going to get when they sign up
to the videos theories. And I'll send an email to my existing list and I'll put
out Facebook ads, and I'll put out posts on social media to drive people to that
blog post. And then on that blog post, I'll say, click here to join us for this
video series. It's going to be amazing, you could do it that way. Or you can
even create a video to let people know about the freebie that you have. So for
example, if you've put together an amazing checklist or you've put
together, I don't know a daily planner that's going to be so helpful for your
audience, then you could create a video to tell them why it's going to be
amazing why they absolutely needs to download it, tell them the
transformation they are going to get when they download and take action on
what it is that you've created. So create content around your freebie and
drive people to that content and then get them to sign up. It kind of helps to
warm them up a little bit and then get them even more excited for what you've
created. So the third thing that I have to share with you to get people to sign
up for your freebies is to leverage your website like crazy. So you want to be
placing your call to action to get people to sign up for your freebies, all
over your website. So make sure you have something in the sidebar, which lets
people know about the freebie that you've created. Make sure you create
banners and calls to action at the top of your website so that people go to
your website, they see that you have that there. So if it's a guide that
you've created, tell them about the guide and give them the call to action
to sign up for it. You can also have pop ups on your website, they work so well.
And if you're not using pop ups, you are missing a trick. So make sure you use
pop ups you can use really simple apps like Papa Polly or Sumo me, I'll leave
the links below so you can check them all out. But you can create a really
cute little pop up which tells them about the freebie that you have to offer
them. And the pop ups are really good because you can change them out really
easily. So if you've got multiple free freebies for people, one week, you could
have one freebie being advertised another way you could offer Something
else. They're just amazing. So, so good. Another thing you can do is you can have
a little box that pops up when people scroll down, your website pops up at the
bottom right hand corner. And that again, it can tell them all about the
freebie that you have to offer. So once they are already engrossed in the
content of your website, that will then pop up for them. And finally, you can
also add your offer to the end of your blog post. So once someone's read your
blog post, you could add an image or a call to action to let them know about
the freebie that you've created. These are all really powerful things you can
do to leverage your website to make sure that if someone is coming to your
website, they are not going to be leaving without signing up for the
freebies that you have created, you need to convert that traffic into
subscribers. So just make the most of your website and place those calls to
action in various places. So the fourth and final thing I want to share with you
about how to get people to actually sign up for your freebies is to think about
leveraging Facebook groups. Facebook groups are so powerful because you can
build an amazing community of like minded people who are interested in the
message that you have to share and the things that you have to offer. So if
you've started to build a Facebook group, then use that and let them know
about the free stuff that you're creating that they would love to get
their hands on. So whenever I've got a free freebie, I go into my free Facebook
group, and I tell them all about it. But don't tell them in a kind of like a
salesy way, tell them in a way that you're so excited about it, and you've
got this amazing thing that you've worked really hard on that you know is
going to help them, what you can also do is get them excited before it's even
ready. So for example, if you know that you are going to create a free challenge
in I don't know, say April, then before April and march start getting them
excited, I've got something really excited coming that I've been working
on, I cannot wait to share it with you. You could even maybe share a little
behind the scenes. So if you've got like a work that you've created, take a
screenshot of it put a really pretty pitch together and be like Oh, I'm so
excited to share this with you. This is coming soon I'm working on it, you're
gonna absolutely love it. So warm, those are your, your that's your community. So
excite them, warm them up to what they what you have coming. And then when
you've created the freebie, you put it out there and they're like, Oh my gosh,
I'm so excited, I've been waiting for this for ages, I can't wait to get to
sign up for it and to use it. So use your community effectively when it comes
to the free stuff you're creating, to get them to sign up for what you have
going on. And then also because they are part of your community, you could say if
you have any friends that you feel would absolutely love this and would find it
really valuable, share it with them. Because the more people you kind of do
this stuff with, the more you're going to get out of it. I say that, especially
when I'm doing a challenge, because it's always better to do a challenge with
other people. So I'm always encouraging people to share it with their friends,
get your friends involved, do this together, do it in a group, you know,
get together go through this stuff. Even if it's a workbook, people can do it in
groups. And it's way more powerful. So encourage sharing, but definitely
leverage your Facebook group. If you have one. If you're part of other
Facebook groups, where the people inside of that Facebook group are your target
audience, you could consider it sharing your offer in there. But you need to
make sure that you abide by the rules of that group. So maybe they have a
specific post that goes out where it's like share your offer, because that's
what we do in our groups. So look out for opportunities like that, too. But
basically, you just want to spread the word about what it is that you're
creating, tell your audience about it shouting from the rooftops, but again,
not in a salesy spammy way, but in a way that because you're so excited about it,
and you want them to get excited about it too, because you know, what you've
created is going to give them so much value. So those are four simple things
you can do to get your freebie out there. So go and do it. Get your freebie
out there. Don't be one of those people that creates a freebie and then doesn't
do anything with it. You don't put it out there, you barely tell people on
your website about it, you barely tell people on social media about it. Don't
be that person. So easy to fall into that trap. So go take action on these
ideas I've shared with you, your website is going to be one of the best ways to
get people to sign up and talking about that. I'm also going to give you access
to a training that we have inside of the Members' Club so it's actually a paid
training, but I'm going to give you access to it for free, where Brian
Harris teaches all about how you can create an upside down homepage in order
to build your email list. So the link below to download that is below. So
check it out and take action on it. It's such a powerful way again to actually
get people to sign up to your email so don't miss that. Basically a paid
training but you're getting it for free. So it's very exciting. Anyway, I really
