How To Write Opt-In Pages That Grow Your Email List With Qualified Leads (Even If You're Not A Copywriter)
The best way to grow your list is to offer free gifts - lead magnets - to get people to give you their email addresses.
But "FREE" isn't enough anymore.
You have to sell your lead magnet. That means sending prospective clients to a dedicated opt-in page, not your website home page.
Your opt-in page has to be as persuasive as a sales letter.
List-building courses usually skip this step.
They tell you it's important to create an opt-in page but leave out the details. So "Create an opt-in page" becomes another item that nags you on your To-Do list...and never goes away.
Until now!
In fact, you need to learn the basics...because someday you'll need to promote a lead magnet right now and the good copywriters are all booked up.
When you've got the skills you'll learn in this course, nothing will get in the way of your list-building...and your rewards.

Learn to write opt-in pages and your marketing gets easier.
When you can knock out an opt-in page fast (and I'll show you how), you can turn on a dime.
