Grow Your Email List With Collaborations

First things first, what do I mean by collaborations?

Simply put, it's about borrowing someone else's audience to grow your email list.

Always think of collaborations as a win-win-win scenario: a win for you, your audience, and the collaborator.

Here are my top three collaboration strategies to grow your email list in 2025.

You can start implementing today:

This is one of my favorite ways to collaborate!

A newsletter swap is where you team up with someone to promote each other's offerings.

Here’s how you can get started:

Find the Right Partner: Look for someone whose audience you’d like to reach but doesn’t offer what you do.
Provide Swipe Copy: Make it easy for your partner by providing the email text and link to your landing page.
Benefits: Expect to see around 50+ new sign-ups to your email list in just 24 hours!

Action Step: Reach out to one potential collaboration partner today to propose a newsletter swap!

🤩 PRO TIP: If you're using Kit for your email marketing, the Creators Network is a goldmine of potential collab partners!

Bundles are another great collaboration opportunity, often involving free giveaways in exchange for email sign-ups.

Here’s the scoop:

What’s In It For You?: You get access to emails of those who sign up specifically for your offer.
Be Strategic: Aim for bundles with less than 50 contributors to avoid overwhelming participants.
Results You Can Expect: Typically, you can add 100+ subscribers to your list.

🤩 PRO TIP: Participate in 2-4 bundles a month for consistent email list growth without using social media or ads.

Virtual summits are immersive and position you as an expert in your field.

Here’s what makes them special:

Types: These can be live, pre-recorded, or even audio events.
Why I Love Them: They offer brilliant exposure and opportunities to meet other thought leaders.
Flexibility: Choose whether you want to showcase your lead magnet or a paid offer.

Action Step: Join summits that coincide with your product launches for maximum impact.
