This new email growth strategy is BIG


Hey Reader,

If you’re remotely close to the food blogging community, you’ve heard of this strategy for lead generation lately — and not only am I sharing it with you as a surefire way to boost subscribers, I’m going to show you HOW.

What is it? It’s a “Save this Recipe” form that you add to every blog post. You can even use this strategy for non-food blogs, of course, like a “Save this Post” form instead. See if it could work for your business — I may even use it on the Duett blog soon!

It looks like this:

Why would your subscriber want a blog post to be emailed to them?

My top guess is that they are scrolling your blog and content on their phone and simply want to save the post to revisit it later. Either to make your recipe, walk through your how-to guide, or spend more time looking through what you’ve shared.

How do you set this up? Wellllll

Let’s get technical, TECHNICAL 🎵

Before you go setting up individual forms in your email service platform for all one-hundred-plus blog posts you may have, do this instead:

Use a WP Forms + ConvertKit integration to set up ONE form that sends the page title + page URL to every subscriber who submits this simple form on your site.

Here’s how:

Even if you don’t use ConvertKit OR WP Forms, I hope this shows some of the backend required in order to create ONE “Save this Recipe” form for your site in a way that you can recreate with the tools you have for your blog or site.

Once you have this set up, you can easily add the form block (in the example’s case, WP Forms) into your old blog posts and include it in all new pages going forward.

Who loves a tech walkthrough? I DO!

📢 Watch me get roasted. More details below ↓ Hey Reader! Some things age well — like my 19-year friendship with my bestie Jenna. And some age so slowly you don't notice until you wake up one day — like this past August 1, when my business turned 8 — and realize you're not showing up online the way you feel inside. 😬 For me, that meant my welcome sequence. And my email template. And the long list of things I just know are missing. It irks me so much. For you, it might mean dozens of new...
