The Importance Of List Building

Why is it so important to focus on building your email list?

In this week’s episode of The Agency Accelerator Podcast, we explore the important topic of list building and strategies to grow your email subscribers. 

As you know, when I interview guests, I always ask them if they go back in time and give their younger selves one piece of business advice, what would it be? And if I asked myself that question, it would be, ‘Hey, Rob, start building your email list sooner.’ 

If you're still questioning why list building is so important (because maybe you spend a lot of time doing social media, and that delivers some leads for you), just consider this: when you are building your social media profile and followers, you're building an asset for someone else's business but when you build your list, you are building an asset in your business. 

Listen to this episode as I share more reasons you should be focusing on list building and HOW to win more subscribers.
