You'd probably think most of that came from my YouTube channel but it didn't. Around 85% of the revenue came from my email list. When you build an audience on YouTube, Instagram or TikTok, you don't own the relationship. You're borrowing that audience whenever the algorithm feels like showing them your content. Whereas, an email list is yours. The problem is growing one is weirdly hard. You post a reel, mention a free guide, and hope people go to your bio, tap the link, land on your website, type their email, confirm the opt-in... that's a lot of steps to lose people at 😅 This is where Manychat comes in. Because they're an official Meta business partner, you can set up automations that ask for the email and send the download instantly. Comments, DMs, story replies, all of it. That's how you turn strangers into leads and leads into sales without doing it manually. (Paid partnership with Manychat)
