Let’s face it—social media might seem like the quickest way to grow your email list, but it’s not always the most effective. Algorithms change, reach dwindles, and before you know it, you’re spending more time chasing likes than actually building a quality list. But what if I told you there are faster, more reliable ways to grow your list that don’t involve dancing for the algorithm gods?
In the latest issue of The Email Anarchist, we’re breaking down the strategies you need to build a high-quality email list—fast—and here’s the kicker: no social media required.
