My secret to growing my email list


BIG news: I’m hosting a free webinar with my dear friend Shiv Chibber, Creator Educator at Kit. RSVP here. More details below! ⬇️


Hey Reader,

Have you ever experienced the silence of email list crickets?

You pour your heart into crafting the perfect message for your subscribers. You're buzzing with excitement to share it, spread your ideas, and make an impact.

Then you hit "send," and... crickets.

I've been there. It's not a great feeling.

But here's the silver lining: it means you're part of the Creator Club. The club of brave souls who aren’t afraid to share their work with the world.

Think about it: You wouldn't be reading this now if I'd given up (or never started 😱) my personal finance blog back in 2016. Long story short, that’s how I eventually started Duett!

If you've been around for a while, you know my mission is to help bloggers, content creators and influencers like you connect deeper with your email subscribers and drive traffic to your most important content.

Email marketing is one of the most powerful tools I have to share my message and bring that vision to life.

Without growing my list, I wouldn't have you here 🥰— whether you're learning about how to build strategic email sequences that drive traffic to your blog, getting behind-the-scene glimpses of what works for my clients, or just enjoying my excessive use of pop culture gifs.

Well NOW I want to help you move past the crickets and GROW an email list that:

  • Is filled with engaged subscribers who are excited to hear from you and connect with your best content and helpful resources
  • Generates content ideas effortlessly, so you never wonder WHAT to email your list
  • Attracts new, high-quality subscribers daily through referrals from other creators

Enter Kit: The email-first operating system that helps you engage, grow, and convert your audience. I've used Kit since 2017 — EIGHT YEARS — and it's my top recommendation for bloggers and content creators looking to build and grow their email lists.

That's why I'm so excited to host a free webinar with my dear friend Shiv Chibber, Creator Educator at Kit. Together, we'll share a practical, repeatable strategy to grow your subscriber base, monetize your list, and banish those crickets for good.

In this live webinar, Shiv will teach:

  • How top creators use email marketing to earn a full-time living online
  • How to start building your list from scratch, even with zero tech experience
  • How to brand your newsletter to attract super fans and future buyers

Learn more about the webinar and save your spot here!

Ready to use your content, existing audience, and Kit to GROW your list?

Join Shiv and me on Wednesday April 23rd at 1pm CST.

Will I see you there?

Let's Duett,

Allea

Hey Reader, Prepare yourself for the most glamorous photos of all time… But first, I shall not bury the lede: As of today (or tomorrow, I can never remember), I’ve officially been running Duett for SEVEN years! 7. Though it wasn’t always so *put together* or whatever, with things like: A beautifully branded website that I hired professionals for A podcast (and my team member who makes it happen every week!) Hitting the $1M mark in all-time revenue — which, let the record show, took 6 years...
