Building an email list isn’t just about collecting addresses—it’s about building a loyal audience. But if you think just launching a lead magnet will get you hundreds of sign-ups overnight, think again.
In this episode of Legacy Building Mamas, host Evelyn Lopez Delon shares the real, behind-the-scenes journey of growing her email list. From early failures and late-night tech struggles to finally cracking the code on audience engagement, she breaks down the seven essential steps for email list success.
The biggest lesson? An email list is only as strong as the audience behind it—and promotion is just as important as creation. Whether you’re just starting or looking to grow your list faster, this episode delivers actionable, no-fluff strategies that actually work.
Key Takeaways:
- 🔍 Build Your Audience First: Before expecting email sign-ups, create a community through podcasts, social media, or blogs—otherwise, no one will see your lead magnet.
- 🌐 The Lead Magnet Is Only Half the Battle: Creating a freebie is easy—getting people to download it takes consistent promotion across multiple channels.
- 🛠 Use Automation & CRM Tools: A good CRM (like HighLevel) helps track leads, automate follow-ups, and segment subscribers for better engagement.
- 🚀 Consistency = Growth: Whether it’s a weekly newsletter or a welcome email sequence, staying consistent builds trust and long-term engagement.

Cold email gets a bad rap, and I get it—we’ve all seen those terrible, spammy outreach emails that make you roll your eyes. But when done the right way, cold email is one of the most powerful ways to land high-value clients.
In this episode of Grow Your Video Business, I sat down with Ryan Koral to break down the exact framework for writing cold emails that actually get responses.
One key insight? Cold email is a numbers game, but it’s also about quality. If you’re mass-emailing from your main domain (please stop), getting ghosted, or seeing your emails land in spam, you’re doing it wrong.
But with the right approach—proper infrastructure, smart automation, and a simple but effective email structure—you can book consistent meetings and close big deals. Just ask the filmmaker who landed a $50,000 client using this strategy.
Key Takeaways:
- 🔍 Cold Email Is About Conversations, Not Spam: Focus on relevant, personalized outreach instead of generic pitches—real relationships lead to real sales.
- 🌐 Avoid the Biggest Mistake: Never mass email from your main domain—it will get flagged. Instead, set up separate domains and inboxes for outreach.
- 🛠 A Simple, Proven Email Structure: Use this 5-step format: clear purpose, problem statement, solution, social proof, and a call to action—all in one-line sentences.
- 🚀 Use Video the Smart Way: Instead of blasting out video intros, offer a personalized video review only to those who respond—boosting engagement and conversion rates.

This episode is packed with practical, no-fluff strategies to help you grow your email list faster and more efficiently in 2025.

- 🌐 Visibility = Growth: The more consistently you show up online, the more your audience grows—leading to more email signups and conversions.
- 🛠 The “Giveaway Growth Hack”: Offering limited-time free access to paid content (like a course bundle) can rapidly expand your email list.

Consider this—any major change in online marketing always comes back to one thing: who is in control of the audience? Algorithms shift, ads become more expensive, but your email list? That’s yours. It’s the only place where you can control the message, the reach, and the outcome.
If you wish to future-proof your company, form genuine relationships, and generate recurring revenue, email is not yet another tool—it’s the tool. And those who own it? They win.
The question is—are you in?
Until next time, happy emailing!
