I think this is the right place to post this but let me know if it’s not!

I have a question about growing my email list separate from social media. I’m currently working through the growing your online business module and I’m actively doing a lot of the practices to grow online without much success (I have a weekly educational email newsletter, I have 6 freebies on my website that all filter onto my email list, I’ve offered free webinars, email list sign up on my website, promote freebies/newsletter/webinars via Instagram, etc.) My social media following is really small (<400 on IG) so anytime I promote anything on there, even free resources and webinars, I never get any sign ups. So I’m curious if you have any thoughts about growing your email list (and business in general) off of social media. I have a referral program for clients and I’ve done a lot of networking to build out a network of other practitioners who can refer out to me but it still means that leads are sporadic. I’ve had zero ROI from IG thus far so I would love to grow my email list so I have more warm leads that I can sell to when I’m launching new products. But the primary way to grow the email list is via social media which isn’t super helpful when the lack of engagement on socials is the very reason why I want to grow the email list in the first place.
