INSIGHT

Mailing List Is Your Platform Insurance

A mailing list protects your audience when platforms fail or disappear.
Joe Casabona recounts a client locked out of a social platform who had no way to contact their audience because they lacked a newsletter.

ADVICE

Use Evergreen Sequences To Send Weekly Mail

Do set up evergreen email sequences so your list gets regular content without weekly effort.
Joe says he runs a 20-email sequence that delivers a useful email every Friday whether he's home, on vacation, or uninspired.

ADVICE

Pick A Newsletter Tool That Works Immediately

Do choose a tool with easy setup so you can launch a landing page and opt-in forms in minutes.

Does having a mailing list feel like too much for you? Like it’s adding “one more thing” to your list as a one-person business?

That's what I hear constantly when I coach solopreneurs. Either they don't have a newsletter because it feels like too much work, or they have one, but they're paying for a plan they don't actually need. And in almost every case, it's not a strategy problem. It's a tool problem.

That's why I'm making the case for Kit (formerly ConvertKit) — not because it's the flashiest option, but because it removes work instead of adding it. In this episode, I break down four specific reasons Kit is my go-to for solopreneur automation: easy setup, powerful evergreen automations, direct integrations with the tools you already use, and RSS-to-email that turns your podcast or blog into a newsletter without lifting a finger.

I also share how I saved my client Laura to a bunch of money thanks to Kit’s free plan.

If your newsletter has been sitting on the back burner, this one's for you.

Wondering if you’re leaving money on the table with tools you’re not using or overpaying for? Learn how to find them with the free Solopreneur Sweep: streamlined.fm/sweep
