Promote your email list

Here are a few ways to promote your email list on your website.

Your homepage is not the place to list your latest blog posts. Your homepage is one of the most important pages of your blog - so use it to your advantage.

The same goes for your about me page.

Best of all, you can add share icons on the results page to encourage people to share their results and invite others to take the quiz.

For example: "I got X% on the [niche] quiz. Can you beat me?"

Your lead magnet is the main entry point into your sales funnel, so you need to blast this freebie everywhere.
