I personally think “number 18” is really important for growing an email list. So, in the next section, I’ll explain what a lead magnet is.

Create A Lead Magnet To Grow Your Yoga Email List

So, just in case you’re not sure what a “lead magnet” is, let me explain further. A lead magnet is a free incentive or offer that is designed to attract potential customers or subscribers to your email list, website, or social media pages. The purpose of a lead magnet is to provide value to your target audience in exchange for their contact information, such as their email address.

A lead magnet can take many forms, including yoga ebooks, yoga class handouts, yoga checklists, yoga templates, yoga webinars, yoga video courses, one free yoga class, one free private session, etc.

The key to a successful lead magnet is that it offers a solution to a specific problem or pain point that your target audience (yoga students) is facing. It should be valuable, relevant, and actionable, and should help establish you as an authority in your niche.

Once someone signs up for your lead magnet, they become a “lead” in your email list, and you can nurture the relationship by providing additional value and building trust through regular email communication. Over time, some of these leads may convert into paying customers or clients.

I also think “number 21” in the list above is a great idea for the A-types who love a challenge. So, in the next section, I’ll explain how to go about hosting a yoga summit.
