Your list is something unique to you and your career. No one has this same list. No one makes art like you do; no one knows the same people as you do; and no one has the exact vision that you have. Nobody! Your list is almost worthless to anyone else, yet it’s invaluable to you.
It is the primary tool you use to share your art with the world. It’s your #1 marketing asset, but worthless if you’re not using it.
The definition of a mailing list isn’t as clear cut as it sounds.
I have a philosophy around this 2-word phrase that we frequently take for granted:
You don’t have a single list. You have multiple lists.
I use the term mailing list as an umbrella term, but, in truth, you have three lists that I define as follows:
1️⃣ Your email list
2️⃣ Your VIP list
3️⃣ Your online followers
In this episode, I describe the difference among them and why you need to remember all of them when you’re thinking about your mailing list.
