Build Your List.
How many times have you heard this?
Maybe you’ve bought a List Building Program.
Invested in pop-ups, added your opt-in box in multiple places, tried header/footer options…blah,blah, blah. You get it.
Before we get into this plugin, which is still FREE… I just want to talk for a few minutes about this whole ‘list building’ thing.
Bear with me- it won’t really be a rant, just some insight and hard-learned lessons!
When I started this blog 4 years ago I already KNEW I was supposed to be building my list.
I was just a total skirt about it.
Because I wasn’t really sure where I was going with this site and I didn’t know what type of free offer to provide, I wasn’t really smart about “building my list”.
More than not being smart, I was letting FEAR get in the way.
Fear of offending someone.
Fear of NOT getting subscribers.
Fear of GETTING subscribers… (now what? What do I email them about? Do I have to do this weekly? Do I name my newsletter?)
Fear of SELLING to my subscribers.
Fear of UNSUBSCRIBE.
You get the point.
I won’t get into the psychology of “FEAR” here (my ego still can’t swallow that I allow FEAR to get in the way. On a DAILY basis)- but at some point you simply have to “suck it up soldier”.
And in the wise words of NIKE, Just Do It! (yes, I totally just quoted a commercial).
The reality is…
You’re GOING to offend someone.
You WILL get subscribers.
You’ll FIGURE out your mailings (I’m still working on that one).
You HAVE to sell to your subscribers (you’re in business, right? Just don’t be a numpty about it).
You WILL get people unsubscribing.
Once you’ve accepted these facts AND… understand that it’s just part of building a business, it’s much easier just to get on with things. STICK WITH IT! Measure what works, what doesn’t and ALWAYS provide value (free OR paid!).
Onto the Plugin!
First, you WILL have to opt-in to receive the plugin. But once you see this, I don’t think you’ll mind.
The plugin is developed by a company called LeadBrite.
LeadBrite is a new company started by Clay Collins. I’ve been following Clay for a couple years now and just like his style. Gone are the days of simply mailing and launching shit. I’m all about people who engage, blog and share (call me an idealist- but I think you’ll agree the smarmy ways are more a thing of the past now).
Enter “Welcome Gate”
What is Welcome Gate? Let’s just go straight to the video, shall we?
(And if you’re wondering when I’ll put “Welcome Gate” on this site- the answer is next week! 
Just tweaking a few things).
Enjoy the video- let me know what you think!
