Building a Mailing List through Reader Magnets
By Marcy Kennedy (@MarcyKennedy)
One of the almost universal pieces of advice we hear as indie authors is that we need to build a newsletter mailing list. A mailing list allows us to keep in touch with readers and let them know when our next book releases. Theoretically, they’ll be excited to buy our book, sending it up in the rankings.
The tricky part is how do we convince people to give us their email addresses?
One solution is the reader magnet.
I’m back at Fiction University today for my regular monthly guest post, and this time I’m talking about building a mailing list through reader magnets.
