Why it works

Codie Sanchez (founder of Contrarian thinking) got her first 1,000 subscribers by doing something that literally anyone can do: she manually emailed friends and old contacts from her Gmail.

I love this approach because it’s such a great way to leverage your personal network - especially when you don’t have a big audience or follower base on social media.

This is the easiest thing you can do right now.

How you can do it:

Go through your connections on Linkedin. Go through your contacts on your phone. Scroll through your recent text messages. Go through your email DM a few people who follow you on Instagram.

Send them something personal and ask them to share it, or see if they know anyone that might like it.
