More subscribers?

When founders say they want “more subscribers,” I ask:

What are you doing after they subscribe?

Most just… send the same weekly broadcast to everyone.

That’s not a system. That’s a megaphone.

Here’s what I do inside GrowthKit to make every subscriber count:

→ I use Kit to tag new signups based on the lead magnet they came from.
→ Then, I trigger a simple 3-email welcome sequence.
→ On email 3, I ask a dead-simple question: “What are you struggling with right now?”

The replies are gold.

Not only does this spark 1:1 convos…
It helps me segment, personalise, and pitch the right offer later.

This system alone turned my email list from a quiet audience…
into a conversation engine.

Don’t let your subscribers rot in your list.

Welcome them. Segment them. Learn from them.
That’s how to build a community—not just a list.

And yes, you can steal this system today.
Use Kit + Clearout to automate tagging, validation, and flows.

📈 This system helped me hit 80%+ open rates and 61% click-throughs.
Because it’s not just about getting subscribers—it’s about activating them.
