List Building With Social Media
Amy's list-building story

Although Amy focuses primarily on Facebook marketing, she has noticed over the years that social media is a great place to grow your leads.

As an online marketer, her email list is really the heart of her business. Back in January 2010, her email list consisted of about 600 people. She realized she had to do something about it. From then on, she has made a conscious effort to focus on publishing content to attract leads. Today, she has an engaged list of around 50,000.

Amy goes into detail on how she attracted online marketers, entrepreneurs and small business owners to her content to get them interested enough to sign up for free giveaways and thereby grow her list.

Amy explains how her business model is creating info products for people to learn how to use Facebook to grow their businesses and get more traffic to their websites.

Listen to the show to find out why having online information products is important.

Is social media alone sufficient?

Amy tells us although social media has become saturated, alone it isn't enough to get the exposure your business needs. You also need an email list.

Social media is a great way to build relationships, make connections and sell your programs, products and services. But when you pair social media with an email list, you will expand your reach.

It's a great combination for getting exposure and staying top of mind with your audience.
