If you’ve been around the Community for a while, you may have seen me posting possible answers/solutions for many of the basic questions about how to use logic inside of typeform.
As part of my business, I use Typeform for lead generation for my own business and, as a Typeform Agency Partner, for clients. Once I can pass the details from Typeform over to my CRM/ESP, I am able to get the new lead into email welcome/nurture/consumption sequences.
But like many people who post in here about using Typeform for lead gen, what can you DO to work on building your email list? As part of the process that I use, I incorporate engaging (hopefully) quizzes into the sequences to educate and entertain the readers.
I am constantly looking for ways to find out how some of the really successful email marketers have grown their lists: what did they do? how did they do it?
I know this is not specifically Typeform-related, but I think that Typeform plays a cool part in the lead gen and list growth process - but i did stumble across this information in a marketing newsletter that I read:
When I was starting my newsletter and trying to figure out how to build my email list, I started studying some of the great ones out there. I was asking questions...lots of questions.
"Imitate. We are imperfect mirrors. You imitation will turn out much different from the original. Maybe even better" -Derek Sivers
As I was collecting this info, I realized it could be incredibly valuable to other people trying to build their list. So I fired up a new Notion doc and made a "Dream 30" of some of my favorite list builders/email marketers out there.
I added a bit of structure and consistency, asking two fundamental questions:
- What is the one piece of advice you would give to someone who is just starting to build an email list?
- What has been your most successful list-building tactic so far?
In the "30 Experts in 30 Days," you will get one email per day with a different expert and their answers to those two questions.
Not to "toot my own horn" but this is an impressive lineup. Most of these guys charge thousands for advice and I/we are giving it to you for free as a thank you for being on my list.
I’ve talked to the gent who publishes this newsletter and if you are interested in reading what those 30 experts have to say, you can sign up at this link - it’s free for now (at the time I post this) but he’s going to turn it into a paid product in the near future. I’ve seen the first two ‘episodes’ and they’re pretty good.
(there’s nothing in this for me other than helping others get some amazing input on building a mailing list to extend what we do with Typeform)
cheers and have a great weekend.
