Start a Newsletter
When you expand your reach you’ll want to point people somewhere. The best place is your own newsletter (even if you don’t send one out regularly you should start collecting emails.)
The reason you want a newsletter is that you can reach people directly (versus relying on a third party app like Instagram or Twitter.) There are lots of options out there, but Substack has a lot of features, it’s free, and you’re already here.
Newsletter Magnet or Freebie
Something you give away to encourage people to opt in.
