📱 Something I read:
This article from Membervault about growing your list without social media. They’ve built a community of 50k subscribers over 8 years, which feels so refreshing to hear, as social media feels so heavy lately.
My favorite tip? Participating in summits/bundles with a giftable product to get people onto your list - this has actually been the #1 driver of new subscribers for me over the past few years! Plus, it’s perfect for side hustlers because you can create the content once and let it keep working for you!
🌟 Something to try:
The concept of a “color walk” caught my attention this week! 🎨 The idea is simple but magical:
“pick out a color, set off down the sidewalk, and then keep an eye out for items in that specific shade as you stroll. If you choose to look for yellow, then you might spot a yellow sign, a person in a yellow sweater, or a yellow chair outside a cafe. It’s said that looking for one specific hue makes it easier to stay present and focused — and it could even help ease anxiety.”
It’s like a walking meditation meets scavenger hunt, perfect for those moments when your brain feels a bit overwhelmed.
(Though between us, I’m bookmarking this for when Chicago decides to thaw out! Anyone else counting down to spring? 😅)
