Quick List Building Challenge
Hey there! Let me share a secret with you: having an email list is the key to unlocking the full potential of your online business. I know, I know, it might not be the most glamorous task, but trust me, it’s worth it!
Think of your email list as the heartbeat of your online presence. It’s the best way to connect with your audience, build trust, and grow a loyal community of customers who love what you do. Without it, you’re making things way harder for yourself – it’s like trying to build a house without a solid foundation!
Having an email list means you can reach your audience directly, share your passion, and offer them value without relying on algorithms or paid ads.
Plus, it’s a cost-effective way to nurture relationships and drive sales. So, if you haven’t already, make building an email list your top priority. It’s the best decision you can make for your online business, and I’m here to help you every step of the way!
Let’s get real for a second. Your success in this challenge (and beyond!) ultimately comes down to one thing: taking action. It’s easy to get caught up in learning and planning, but if you don’t put in the work, you won’t see the results you’re hoping for.
I know it might seem obvious, but it’s a crucial reminder: your daily efforts will determine your progress. So, I want to empower you to take ownership of your success. I’m here to guide you through this challenge, but it’s up to you to commit to the process and make it happen.
Here’s the best part: if you stick with it and put in the work, you’ll have a thriving email list by the end of these journey.
That’s not a maybe, that’s a guarantee! You’ll be one giant leap closer to achieving your online goals, and that’s something to get seriously excited about. So, are you ready to take the reins and make this happen? Let’s do this! 🎉
STEP 1:
Look for a name. All good online businesses and projects have names. Yours can be anything. Look for something related to your business and don’t make it too long. Please, make sure it’s unique!
Once you have the name, open a simple Gmail account for your business.
STEP 2:
You NEED an Autoresponder. Imagine being able to reach out to thousands of people on your list with just the click of a button – it’s like having your own personal megaphone to share your message with the world! And the best part? This tool lets you set up entire email sequences that will be sent out automatically, so you can focus on other important things (like growing your business and living your best life 💕).
Choosing the right autoresponder can be a daunting task, right? 🤯 With so many options out there – from household names like Sendinblue, Aweber, and Mailchimp to lesser-known gems – it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
And let’s be real, most of them come with a price tag, which can be a hurdle for many of us. But don’t worry, most autoresponder services offer a free or trial option to get you started, which can help take some of the sting out of it. I get it, it’s a lot to consider. But don’t worry,
I’m here to help you navigate the options and find the perfect fit for your needs.
My recommendation is this one, it’s free for the first 500 subscribers, more than enough to break even when it turns to monthly payments.
STEP 3:
You need a website or some tool to create optin pages, delivery pages, and so on. If you go for serious stuff, this is the way to go. I recommend to use an online tool dedicated to marketing like IQLeadMagnet
STEP 4:
There are three types of email leads:
Buyer Leads: These are people who have already bought something from you. They are the most likely to buy from you again and are very valuable.
Warm Leads: These are people who haven’t bought from you yet, but they’ve seen your marketing or content before joining your email list. They know who you are, and you’ve built some trust with them.
Cold Leads: These are people who don’t know you at all. They don’t trust you, and they might even see your emails as annoying. You need to build trust with them before they’ll consider buying from you.
Let’s start by building a list of warm leads, then move on to building a list of cold leads, and finally, we’ll focus on building a list of buyer leads.
STEP 5:
Creating a Lead Magnet:
Free Offers Work. Free offers are always popular, but the specific offer can get old or outdated. So, when creating a free offer, make sure it has these 3 things:
It’s easy and quick to consume.
It offers quick results.
It invites people to continue the conversation. Create a One-Page Cheat Sheet in 1 Day To create a successful free offer, follow these steps:
- Pick a problem: Research your niche and find a common problem that people are talking about.
- Research solutions: Find a solution or a few solutions to this problem.
- Simplify it: Break down the solution into 10 steps or less.
Word the offer: Use a title that will make people want to opt-in. You can use a title generator to get ideas. Example: Let’s say you’re creating a cheat sheet for getting more traffic. You can use a title like “This 7-Step Action Plan is a Quick and Easy Fix for Your Traffic!” By following these steps, you can create a simple and effective free offer in just one day.
If you don’t want to create an asset, you can access to a software with assets inbuilt, like Lead Magnet IQ, also this software has a LOT of things you might need in a near future.
STEP 6:
To start building your online presence and collect leads, you’ll need an autoresponder. Fortunately, you can begin at zero cost!
Let’s get started with two essential pages: a lead capture page and a bridge page.
Create two pages on your website: a lead capture page and a bridge page.
Name them something related to your free offering. For example, if your cheat sheet is titled “5 Mysteries of TRAFFIC Revealed,” the pages could be named “5motr-optin” and “5motr-bridge.”
Keep the names simple, relatable, and easy to remember.
Build the Lead Capture Page
The lead capture page should allow people to enter their email in exchange for a free resource. Use a simple design with a clear headline—this could be the title of your cheat sheet.
You can build this page using tools available on your website platform or use Lead Magnet IQ that brings the whole package, and no need for a website!
The lead capture page should include:
Headline: The same one used for your cheat sheet.
Opt-in Form: Integrated with your autoresponder. Create this form within your autoresponder and embed it on your page. You can do this with IQ Lead Magnet as told before
Ensure the form connects to your newly created list (e.g., “warm organic leads”) and redirects users to your bridge page after submission.
Test Your Lead Capture Page
Verify that the page functions correctly.
Ensure that when an email address is submitted, it’s added to your list.
Test the redirect to ensure users land on your bridge page after opting in.
Tips for Success
Perfection is Not Required: Your initial designs don’t need to be perfect. What’s important is taking action and getting your pages live. Over time, your skills and design will improve.
Keep It Simple: Avoid clutter and focus on clear, essential information.
Don’t Give Up: Creating web pages can seem daunting, but it’s crucial for your online success. The key is to try and improve as you go. By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to capturing leads and engaging your audience effectively. Good luck, and remember—you’ve got this!
STEP 7:
Upload your PDF cheat sheet to your Google Drive account.
Change the share permissions from “Restricted” to “Anyone with the link”.
Copy the URL and save it for later use.
If you don’t want to create your lead magnet, you can go to The B Garage to find a lot of bonuses and leadmagnets created for you!
Write 5 Emails for Your Warm Organic List
You’ll write 5 emails to send to people who sign up for your free cheat sheet.
These emails will be sent automatically, one per day.
Email 1: Welcome Email
Welcome people to your newsletter and community.
Give them the link to your free cheat sheet.
Let them know you’ll be back tomorrow with an important message.
Ask them what they think is the hardest part about being successful in your niche.
Email 2: Origin Story
Share your story of how you got into your niche.
Explain how you went from a normal job to starting an online business.
Keep it simple and conversational.
Ask people to reply back and share their own story. These emails will help build rapport with your list and create open loops for feedback.
Email 3: Actionable Tip
Share a simple solution to a problem in your niche.
Keep it short and to the point.
You can share a 5-7 bullet point strategy or a personal experience. Example: “Hey guys, I saw a great video on driving traffic to blogs and wanted to share one of the strategies with you today…”
Email 4: More Actionable Content
Provide more actionable content, like a personal experience or something valuable you learned.
Keep it short and helpful.
Email 5: What’s Next?
Remind people about the original cheat sheet.
Let them know you want to create more helpful resources.
Ask them what they would like to see you create next.
This will create an open loop for feedback.
Upload these 5 emails to your autoresponder list for warm organic leads.
Set them to go out one email a day, starting as soon as someone opts in.
STEP 8:
Keep in Touch with Your List Now that you’re ready to build your warm organic subscriber list, here’s what you need to do:
Your Weekly Commitment
Send at least one email every week
Keep it simple
It doesn’t need to be long Important Rule
Always make your emails relevant to your niche
Even when sharing personal stories, make sure they relate to your audience
Remember: It’s always about helping your subscribers, not just talking about yourself This will help you maintain a good relationship with your list and keep them engaged.
Use these 3 strategies:
Strategy 1: Manual Outreach
Start with People You Know
Ask friends and family who might be interested in your niche
Tell them about your weekly newsletter
Ask permission to add their email
Ask if they know others who might be interested
Reach Out on Social Media
Contact social media friends who might be interested
These leads are valuable because they already know you
Aim to get your first 10-20 subscribers this way
Strategy 2: Facebook Groups
Join Groups
Find 5 active Facebook groups in your niche
Look for groups with 1,000+ members
Daily Activity (25 minutes total)
Spend 5 minutes in each group
Like posts, comment on discussions and ask questions
Send friend requests after positive interactions
Limit friend requests to 10-15 per day
After One Week Post this message in all groups: “Hey guys, is anyone struggling with [problem your cheat sheet solves]? If so, comment ‘yes’. I have something free that might help…”
Follow Up
When people respond, send them a private message
Share your opt-in page link Remember: Don’t skip these steps even if they make you uncomfortable. Building a strong foundation for your list is important.
Strategy 3: Using Medium.com Why Medium?
It’s a blogging platform with 163 million monthly visitors

Weekly Content Strategy

This helps drive organic traffic to your list, not just from Google. Cheat Sheet Traffic
Remember adding a clickable copyright notice in your cheat sheet’s footer?
People will click it and visit your website.
If they share your cheat sheet, you’ll get more traffic. Building a Warm Organic List
Building a warm list takes time but is worthwhile.
Trust and rapport aren’t instant, online or offline.
Keep up the effort—it will pay off.
STEP 10:
Let’s talk about video strategy!
📹 I’m going to share a simple, yet powerful approach that’ll tie in with everything we’ve covered so far. It’s not the only way to do video, but it’s a great way to get started and it’s easy to adopt.
Here’s the step-by-step plan:
Step 1: Set up your YouTube channel Use the Gmail you created earlier and fill out your channel’s basics, including the about section and banner. Don’t forget to link back to your website!
Step 2: Optional: Get a webcam If you’re comfortable on camera, grab a simple webcam (some computers already have one built-in). It’s a small investment, but it’ll make a big difference!
Step 3: Audio essentials Pick up a mic for recording audio. You can find a decent one at Walmart for under $20. If you’re on a tight budget, there are even free text-to-speech converters online!
Step 4: Plan your content When you send your weekly email, jot down the main points. Think about what you want to say and how you can make it engaging!
Step 5: Livestream your video Use Streamyard to livestream your video to Facebook. Don’t worry about length; focus on impact! Share your story, hit those bullet points, and be sure to mention your free asset on your website!
Step 6: Syndicate to YouTube. Download your video from Facebook using a free online tool like Fdown.net, and upload it to your YouTube channel. Add a link to your free asset in the description, and voilà! You’ve got a free commercial for your lead capture page!
Step 7: Embed the video. Take your weekly video and embed it in your corresponding blog article on Medium and your blog. This adds value to your articles and makes them more engaging!
That’s it! This strategy works hand-in-hand with everything else you’re doing, and it’s pretty passive, too. Those videos will keep working for you months and even years after you post them, especially on YouTube! 🚀 Remember, consistency is key, and always pitch your free thing in every video!
If you don’t want to be on camera and creating a video is a little bit overwhelming, there is always a cheap solution, I use it also, and it’s called ClipsReel. This tools creates the video, audio and subtitles easily for you, no more showing your face!
v
Let’s talk about cold emailing.
You know, sending an email to someone you’ve never met or connected with before. It’s like a cold call, but less intrusive.
The thing is, many people do cold emailing all wrong. They send generic, spammy emails that are just meant to make a sale. But that’s not what cold emailing is about. It’s about starting a conversation, building a connection, and getting people on your warm organic list.
So, how do you do cold emailing the right way? Here are some tips:
Use your real name (not some fake one!)
Start a conversation with a interesting topic or question
Personalize the email with specific details
Make a specific request (but not a sale!)
Include your contact info (so they can get back to you)
Think of cold emailing like a personal conversation. You’re not trying to sell anything, just start a connection. And, unlike spam, you’re not trying to trick or manipulate people into buying something.
Spam is all about making a quick sale, but cold emailing is about building relationships.
So, what’s the goal of cold emailing? Ideally, you want to:
Start a conversation, not make a sale
Address the person by name (because you’ve taken the time to research them)
Make a specific and relevant request (because you care about their input)
Be transparent about how you got their email (because you’re honest and respectful)
That’s it! Cold emailing can be a powerful tool for building connections and growing your business. Just remember to do it the right way, and always keep it respectful and personalized.
STEP 12:
When it comes to emailing cold leads, you want to be careful not to raise any red flags.
Here’s a tip: don’t email them from your autoresponder. Instead, use your simple Gmail account that you created earlier to email each lead individually.
I know, I know – it might seem like a hassle to email each lead one by one.
But trust me, it’s worth it. These leads are cold, and if you email a bunch of them at once, there’s a high risk they’ll label you as spam.
And that’s not good for anyone! You’ve got to be careful not to upset your autoresponder, or they might terminate your account.
So, as you get a handful of cold leads, just email them individually from your Gmail account.
Your goal is simple: get them on your warm organic list by opting in. So, how do you get these cold leads in the first place? Well, that’s a topic for another time. But for now, just remember to keep it personal, keep it simple, and keep it safe.
I’m going to share a simple method for building your list using cold leads. Don’t worry, it’s easy and free!
First, head over to Uplead.com and create an account. You’ll get 5 free leads just for signing up for a 7-day trial. Sweet deal, right?
Make sure to use a Gmail account, though – they don’t accept Yahoo emails for some reason. Once you’re inside the software, browse through the categories and pick the one that’s closest to your niche.
You’ll get 5 free credits, and each credit equals one lead. Easy peasy!
Now that you have your first 5 cold leads, here’s a template for an email to send to them:
—————-
Hey [FIRST NAME], I’m [enter your name here] and I was referred to you from Uplead for people interested in [your niche].
I thought you might be interested in joining my free newsletter on the subject.
I created a free cheat sheet on [whatever your free thing solves] which you can find here if interested: [link to your lead capture page]
Thanks for your time, and I’m looking to build a strong newsletter in the [enter your niche] space that provides value and helps people in the niche. If not interested, feel free to delete this message. I won’t keep pestering you!
Hope to see you on the newsletter!
[Your Name]
[Your business]
[Your website]
[Your email]
Notice how it’s pretty transparent and unassuming? That’s key!
Model it to fit your niche and your market, and email those 5 leads you got from Uplead, one at a time. Remember, you have no idea how these people will respond, so don’t get frustrated if you don’t see amazing results right away. Keep it in perspective – this is just another way to build your list.
Take some action on this method. Email all 5 of your cold leads and see if you can get some of them to opt-in to your warm organic list.
And hey, I know it might seem like we’re taking things pretty slow, but trust me, it’s worth it. We’re building a solid foundation here, and we don’t want to risk being seen as spammers. There’s a difference between what we’re doing here and spamming, and we want to keep it that way!
STEP 13:
I’m about to share something that’ll make your cold emailing life so much easier – meet Gmass.co!
This awesome Chrome extension is like giving your regular Gmail account superpowers! It transforms your everyday Gmail or G Suite account into a cold email powerhouse, helping you achieve some of the highest open rates you’ve ever seen!
Here’s the best part – while Gmass is typically a paid service, they offer a fantastic free version that lets you send up to 50 cold emails daily with just one click! How cool is that?
Now, I won’t dive into the nitty-gritty details of using Gmass (there are tons of great tutorials on YouTube for that), but trust me when I say it makes building and managing your cold email campaigns a breeze!
Some amazing features include:
• Open tracking
• Click tracking 🖱️
• Mail merge personalization
• Scheduling options
• And much more!
Just remember our golden rule: the ultimate goal is to get these cold leads onto your warm organic list. Think of it as turning strangers into friends! 🤝 Ready to learn how to get more cold leads for free? Let’s dive into that next…
Tactics:
MLGS or My Lead Gen Secret, which you can check out here. While this service isn’t free, it offers some pretty cool benefits for growing your list! Here’s the deal: there’s a one-time setup fee of $30, plus $30 a month. So, initially, you’ll pay $60, and then just $30 each month moving forward. In return, you’ll receive 100 ‘Business Opportunity’ email subscribers delivered to you every 24 hours!
The great thing is, you can email these leads directly through the platform and offer them your free resource to bring them onto your warm organic list. After that first month, you’ll have around 3,000 leads – pretty impressive, right?
And if you decide not to continue with the $30 monthly fee, no worries! You can simply download your leads as a CSV file and cancel the subscription. That way, you’re still gaining some valuable leads while staying in control of your investment.
Safelists: Let’s dive into the world of safelists! If you’re not familiar, a safelist is essentially a group of email users who have agreed to add their emails to a shared list, allowing them to send and receive promotional emails within the group.
It’s a closed community where everyone gets a chance to promote their offerings.
Now, if you head over to getrichwithjerry.com, you’ll find a treasure trove of information about safelists, along with a list of the ones that are performing well right now! Trust me, it’s a goldmine for anyone looking to explore this strategy.
One important tip when using safelists: Create a separate email address specifically for signing up to these safelists. This way, you can keep all your safelist communications in one place without cluttering your main inbox.
These are the safelists I use:
Email hog: https://jorgevila.com/emailhog
European Safelist: https://jorgevila.com/europeansafelist
Herculist: https://jorgevila.com/herculist
LeadFeeder: A fantastic cloud-based tool that can really boost your follow-up game. With LeadFeeder, you’ll be able to gather emails and contact information from people visiting your website—even if they don’t sign up initially.
Imagine the power of being able to reach out to those who showed interest but didn’t take the plunge.
Now, while LeadFeeder is a paid service, you can take advantage of their 7-day trial to see how it works for you.
Just remember, this is a strategy to use once your online presence is already getting some traction.
If your site visitors are still on the low side, you might want to build that up first.
LinkedIn: Often overlooked, LinkedIn is actually the 21st most popular website in the world, with over a billion visits a month. That’s a lot of people to connect with!
If you create a strong LinkedIn profile and join a few groups in your niche, networking becomes a breeze.
Unlike Facebook, many LinkedIn users have their contact email listed right on their profile under ‘Contact Info’. This means you can easily start finding like-minded individuals who might be interested in your newsletter.
And if you want to take it a step further, LinkedIn offers a tool called Sales Navigator. It’s a great way to streamline your networking efforts. While it’s not free, you can test it out with a 30-day trial—just be sure to cancel if you decide it’s not for you.
Hope these tactics help you on your journey to expanding your network and boosting your success!
STEP 14:
Let’s get to work on setting up some important pages for your site and diving into creating your first product to sell! Exciting times ahead!
First, let’s quickly set up these pages:

1️⃣ Expand on it a bit. Think about how you can add more details to each step or concept. Jot down notes and bullet points.
2️⃣ Fire up your favorite mind map software and create a mind map based on your cheat sheet, adding in your expanded ideas. There are plenty of free tools available!
3️⃣ Use simple, free screen recording software like OBS Studio to record yourself narrating the mind map. Congratulations—you now have a video presentation that goes beyond your cheat sheet!
4️⃣ Your mind map can be downloaded to supplement your video. Use a free video editor like Capcut to extract audio from your video for a complete audio presentation.

Getting Your Paid Product Live
Step One: Create the Navigational PDF (your finished product) You’ve done an amazing job creating your video, audio, transcript, and mind map. Now, it’s time to package these pieces together for your customers!
First things first, we need to upload these resources so you can link to them easily:
1️⃣ Upload your transcript, mind map, and audio to your Google Drive. Once uploaded, set the sharing access to ‘anyone with link’ to ensure your customers can access them without a hitch.
2️⃣ Head over to YouTube and upload your video presentation. Make sure to set it as ‘unlisted’, so only those with the URL can view it.
Now that everything’s uploaded and link-ready, let’s create a PDF document that’ll serve as a navigational hub, providing easy access for your buyers. In a previous email, I mentioned my go-to tool for creating professional-looking eBooks—Sqribble.
It’s a one-time purchase and will be a priceless asset throughout your marketing journey.
If Sqribble isn’t an option right now, no worries! You can create your document using Word, Google Docs, or any word processing program you prefer. Here’s how to organize it:
Page 1: Cover Page
1️⃣ Give your upgraded product a catchy name, and display it prominently on the first page. Below the name, add ‘An official [name of your business] release.’ This gives it an official touch!
2️⃣ For a stunning cover, hop over to Canva(dot)com and sign up for a free account. They offer plenty of adaptable book cover templates. Once you’ve crafted your cover, download it as a PNG and insert it on page 1 of your document. 🎨 And voilà, you’ve started your navigational PDF!
Page 2) Warning Page
Suggested text:If you have this special downloadable edition of [INSERT PRODUCT NAME HERE] It is because you have purchased the product and have been given this copy of it personally by [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE].

Headline: Grab their attention with a headline that pops!
The Problem: Show empathy by acknowledging their pain points.
The Solution: Present your product as the remedy to their woes.
Credentials: Share why you’re trustworthy. What makes you the expert?
Benefits: Highlight what your product does for them and why it matters. “Gets you traffic, so you can…” — fill in the blanks!
Social Proof: Include testimonials if you have them. If not, plan to gather these as you go.
Offer: Clearly list what’s included, paired with a compelling call to action and a buy button.
Guarantee: Offer a fair guarantee—strong, yet sensible.
Inject Scarcity: Create urgency by hinting at pricing changes or limited availability.
Strong Call to Action: Make it clear what action you want them to take—buy, subscribe, learn more, etc.
Go Live and Refine
Once your sales page is ready, integrate it into your existing funnel. Watch how it performs and be open to making tweaks based on feedback and results. Remember, a simple and clear offer often wins the day! 🏄♂️ This strategic approach turns your work into an inviting offer that’s easy for your audience to engage with, while balancing simplicity with effectiveness. Time to get your amazing product out there!
You’re almost there, and it’s time to set up your payment options so you can start making money from your efforts. Here are the steps to get started:
Choose Your Payment Processor
1️⃣ PayPal or Stripe: These popular payment processors make it easy to add buy buttons to your sales page. Hop onto YouTube to find quick and easy tutorials on setting this up.
2️⃣ WarriorPlus: Consider using WarriorPlus, a platform that lets you connect with a network of affiliates who can help promote your product. Plus, it’s free to create an account!
All these options integrate seamlessly with your autoresponder, automatically adding buyers to your list when they purchase. While setting this up could use a dedicated video for the details, YouTube is your friend for step-by-step guidance.
Boost Your Funnel’s Power
Once your buy buttons are in place and everything’s running smoothly, add your product to your existing free offer funnel:
On your bridge page, add this message: “Thanks for grabbing our awesome Cheat Sheet! Be sure to check out [INSERT PRODUCT NAME] for a more in-depth video guide covering everything in the cheat sheet and more!” Follow it up with a link to your sales page. 🔗
Update your autoresponder by adding the same message as a P.S. to all 5 of your email messages.
Refresh your cheat sheet to include a simple mention of your paid product, and update the link to this new PDF in your Welcome Email. Now, everyone who opts in for your freebie will see your offer up to 7 times!
Crafting Your Materials
It’s easy to see why tools like Sqribble are great for a professional finish. But remember, a well-organized Google Docs PDF can work just fine too. Just keep it neat and tidy, and you’re all set! 📄
Launch Your Product
Time to spread the word—send out a campaign to your list announcing your new product! Aim for a 4-day campaign with at least one email a day. And there you have it! Your first paid digital product is live, and it’s fully integrated into your funnel. Consider expanding your funnel by creating more free offers or adding additional paid products for even more excitement and potential growth.
You’ve laid the groundwork for building your most powerful asset—a strong customer list. Keep going, and enjoy the journey as you watch your efforts pay off!
