3 Big Names Share Their Wisdom
Hey there, ready for some insights to supercharge your week?
I recently had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Codie Sanchez, Sahil Bloom, and Ali Abdaal.
These are giants in the newsletter world, and they've got some serious wisdom to share about growing their email lists.
Now, let me break down some powerful lessons from these interviews.
These aren't just any tipsβ¦
These are the game-changers that can transform your email growth.
Ali Abdaal: The Magic of Lead Magnets
First up, Ali Abdaal. He grew his email list from zero to a whopping 550,000 subscribers. His secret weapon? Lead magnets.

Creating valuable content to get people on your email list is by far one of the best tactics.
Create so-called lead magnets. It can be a Notion template, PDF, checklist, or a free email course. Anything that gives value to your audience.

A Google Sheet template he offered in one video brought in over 50,000 subscribers. Incredible.
It's proof that when you offer something truly useful, people will flock to you.
And here's a pro tip: embed your newsletter promotions in your content.
Ali gains up to 5,000 new subscribers weekly by doing this. Think about where you can seamlessly integrate this into your own content.
Codie Sanchez: Playing the Long Game with Community Engagement
Next, let's talk about Codie Sanchez.
She's a believer in playing the long game and leveraging community engagement over relying solely on paid ads.

Codie's approach?
She adds massive value in communities and subtly introduces her newsletter.
This strategy may be slower, but it's incredibly effective for building a loyal audience.
It's not just about the numbers; it's about finding people who truly resonate with what you're saying.
That's how you build a list that will stick with you.
Sahil Bloom: The Power of Consistency and Authenticity

His mantra? Consistency and authenticity. He's committed to sending two newsletters every week and has been doing so without fail.
