Building your email list in 2019 is a BIG deal which is why I’ve invited Molly Marshall to talk with us on my Thinking Big with Bobbi B Show LIVE on our Facebook page at  2pm today! Be sure to tune in or at least catch the #replay!  She’s going to share some of the strategies she’s used to build her email list and then throughout this week, I’ll be sharing ways to nurture the people on that list so you can turn them from followers to clients!

Here are the tips I shared today:

1. Keep your open rates up by sharing relevant, easily consumed content. If you send too many emails or they aren’t relevant to the people you are sending them to, you are literally training people to NOT open your email.
2. Segment your lists!  This allows you to send the most relevant information to the right people – increasing the likelihood that they will open it. Knowing your audience, where they came from and what they need from you will help you improve your open rates and conversions.

Here are the 4 things we talked about today to start optimizing your LinkedIn Profile: 

1. You must have a professional headshot – period. No joke, no slacking, get it done!! 
2. Use your proper, professional name in your profile. No gimmicks in this space… be a pro! 
3. Include your location tag, even if you work nationally or internationally. 
4. Customize your profile URL to make it nice and clean when you share it. 
5. BONUS – I forgot to mention the importance of that background image on your profile. Take advantage of that great real estate to tell a story about what you do, how you do it, who you serve, etc. 

I thought I’d throw up my LinkedIn profile to highlight the areas I’ve mentioned. And if we haven’t connected there yet, hit me up!
