🎁 Exclusive Bonuses: Your Competitive Edge 🎁
🔎 BONUS: My Secret In-House Chrome Extension
I’ve built a proprietary **Chrome extension** to ethically grow your **Substack** subscriber list faster. I can’t say much about it publicly because it’s so powerful that in the wrong hands, it can do a lot of harm. But as a student of this course, you’ll get private, free access to this exclusive extension. It’s something I’m using personally to grow my list with QUALIFIED subscribers from within Substack. All I ask is that you keep it to yourself and use it ethically. This tool alone will save you **HOURS** each month on manual work.
🔄 BONUS: The Automation to Automatically Import Your Subscribers
I’ve mentioned it before: I would not rely on Substack alone as your primary autoresponder because the options are way too limited. You still want to use a professional autoresponder like ConvertKit, MailerLite, or Beehiiv to send your emails and pitch your offers effectively. So, please… don’t make the mistake of not copying your **Substack subscribers** straight onto your main email list. Since Substack does not natively integrate with other autoresponders, you’d have to manually copy and paste your subscribers like a monkey. In this bonus, I’m going to show you how to build this essential automation from scratch so that it does it for you automatically! With this automation, you’ll save at least **30 minutes per week** (so you can do things that are more fun and more profitable than copying and pasting).
