2. Lead magnet
People give you access to contact them whenever you will want.
Not a small thing.
A lead magnet is sth you provide them in return for that.
Create a high value:
- PDF
- Ebook
- Email course
And give it away for free.

Once you got a lead magnet you need an email provider.
I spent some serious time researching the best ones and @MailerLite is the winner.
- Free automatization
- Free up to 1000 subs
- Nice segmentation
- Good email builder
But pick whatever suits you.
