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!

Hey Reader, A year ago, July 1, actually, I rolled into my new driveway at 9pm. The summer darkness, still warm. And my parents rolled in with me, taking our tired bodies into an empty apartment, air mattresses in hand and Tillie sniffing the perimeter of every room (my little bodyguard that she is 🐈). Nashville. My new place. Alllll the way, 12 hours away, from my sweet Nebraska. I had moved to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, *temporarily* in December 2023, two days after Christmas, to “see who I...

Hey Reader, Oooof, if you’ve spent any (let alone too much) time on Reels, or in discussions with other creators, are you also feeling a little bit… I know it’s not just me. If you’re feeling any ounce of fear of the unknown with AI, Google search changes — or in my case, a recent breakup (UGH, I’d rather break a limb) — you’re not alone. The world *at large* is feeling very dicey, scary even. I have friends whose Haitian family might need to leave the country. I have a friend with a rare...

Hey Reader, It’s my birthday! Happy 36th to meeeee. I’m so grateful to have you as part of the Duett community. 💕 And there’s nothing I want more as my *birthday gift to myself* is to SEE YOUR FACE next week at our upcoming roundtable workshop.
