4 Reasons Why You Must Have A Mailing List

June 27, 2019 by Trish Leave a Comment

Reasons To Have A Mailing List

There’s been some debate lately about the importance of having a mailing list for your blog, because social media, right? But here are 4 reasons why you must have a mailing list.

4 Absolutely Compelling Reasons Why You MUST Have a Mailing List

1 – Social Networks Die or Fade Away

For starters, you can’t count on social networks to be your one and only place to be able to reach out to your audience. What if Facebook goes away tomorrow or no longer becomes THE place to be?

Don’t think that will ever happen? I’m sure the people at Beme, Friendster, Google Buzz, Google+, Jaiku, Meerkat, Orkut, Path, Plurk, Pownce, Posterous, Utterz and Vine didn’t think they’d no longer exist or be relevant either.

2 – Social Networks Crash

A more likely scenario is that your favorite social network will experience technical difficulties and be down for a considerable amount of time when you really need it. This was the case recently for Facebook, Instagram, and What’s App when they all went down at the same time. And they’re not the only social networks to have outages. I’ve been around long enough to remember when that was a regular occurrence on Twitter.

So, what will you do when you need to reach your audience and the only way you’ve invested in doing it suddenly doesn’t work?

3 – More People Sharing Means Less People See Your Content

It’s also important to mention that while social networks may not go down regularly, and you doubt that a social platform powerhouse like Facebook will ever fade into oblivion, they are growing exponentially, and the more people there are using it, the less likely people are to see what you’re sharing.

Even paying to get your content in front of your target audience isn’t always going to get you views, engagement or traffic because that’s only going to work if they happen to be on that particular network during the time your ad is running.

4 – The Social Media Detox and Hiatus

Let’s face it, people take a break from social media ALL THE TIME, and Facebook seems to be THE social network where people deactivate their account and go on hiatus. But, I don’t know anyone, yet, who’s said: “I’m taking a break from my email for the next month.”

Building your Castle

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times…

Don’t build your castle on someone else’s property.

Don’t build your castle on someone else’s property.

Click To Tweet

Your website is your property. It should be where you house the majority of your content. And, your mailing list is how you communicate with your community. So, be sure to build your community and build your list as a way to keep in touch with them and offer them value.

Do you currently have a mailing list for your blog? If not, why not? Let’s discuss.

No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has of No one has escaped the challenges that 2020 has offered⁣
⁣
The question is: Are you going to let 2020 define you? Or are you going to create your own narrative?⁣
⁣
✨{𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄}✨ 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞⁣
[3 Part Masterclass Series Oct. 22-24]⁣
⁣
I  know you. The over achiever.  The planner. The one who doesn't appreciate failure, changes, or surprises. You desire to have things under control -- and 2020 was NOT in our control.⁣
⁣
Because over the past 7 years of living life as a coach, I wanted to control everything. Yet - things happened that I couldn't control. And my mindset was tested daily.⁣
⁣
❗️Getting fired 3 times!⁣
❗️Almost getting evicted.⁣
❗️Having collections & IRS calling me daily.⁣
❗️Having to shut down my first business.⁣
⁣

We are now wrapping up the year of 2020:⁣
✏️Do you have a sense of certainty on your direction?⁣
✏️Do you feel solid in your confidence to make it though?⁣
✏️Do you feel like 2020 is happening TO you, or FOR you?⁣
✏️Do you experience anxiety, and want to move into joy and gratitude?⁣
⁣
If these questions resonate with you, you've come to the right place. In this 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞, (starting on Oct. 22) I will teach you...how to have clarity, confidence, and certainty [plus much more!]⁣

Don’t mind me, I’m just calling up my friends Don’t mind me, I’m just calling up my friends to see if they want to come out to the polls with me. Everything's better with friends right?

✨HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED/ ON TRACK ✨ 1 plan ou ✨HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED/ ON TRACK ✨

1  plan out your workouts for the week — so you have a plan it helps keep you accountable. I look at my schedule for the week and figure out what classes I can take.

2  MEAL PREP — if you live a busy life, it is so important to think ahead and plan your meals out in advance so you aren’t tempted to eat out/unhealthy foods. 

3  DONT BE AFRAID TO TRY SOMETHING NEW — this is so important, if you find what you love it will be the best part of your day. 

I am by no means a fitness expert, these are just a few tips that have helped me along the way.

Crisp #Fall air and sunshine. Nothing better this Crisp #Fall air and sunshine. Nothing better this time of year. This iconic church stands in New Bern and has plenty of quiet spots on its beautiful grounds for reflection. It also has a playground for the kids. It’s currently decorated for Fall and Halloween with lots of spots for beautiful photos. 🍁

WE ARE BLACK WOMEN.....we build...we don’t tear down other BLACK WOMEN! We have felt the pain of being torn down and we have decided that we will be deliberate about building others! 
All too often, we find it easier to criticize each other instead of building each other up! With all of the negativity going around, let’s spread something positive! Upload one picture of yourself.....ONLY you. Then tag as many sisters to do the same. Let’s build ourselves up instead of tearing ourselves down 💕COPY and PASTE💕

Thanks for tagging me @themamamogul and @ashley.dominique ! #ncblogger #amplifymelanatedvoices

It’s not my job to educate you about racism, I’m tired and exhausted. I’m a young Black educated woman who is aware of my privilege which hasn’t stopped me from experiencing Racism, so are many of my Black educated young Black sisters and brothers. I’m not looking for a pity party but CHANGE. So I’m going to use my energy on sharing ways to uplift our community. When a Black woman speaks up don’t tell her she’s aggressive while my White pairs are addressed as confident. Posting a black square as solidarity is nice but Brands- Pay Black Creators and stop asking us to work for exposure or products when we use our resources, time, money and energy to create the same content. We shouldn’t have to work twice as hard to be heard, visible and taken care off. We deserve to be treated equally. I shouldn’t have to ask to see people who like me on your Instagram feed, travel campaigns or campaigns in general. We shouldn’t have to ask for this things, it’s the bare minimum. I’m appreciative of the brands who have done this all along. We can create change together🤎 #amplifymelatedvoices #supportBlackWomen #SupportblackCreators #Payblackcreators
