🥶 Cold Ads to Paid Subs

Gunnar from the newsletter growth agency Growjoy just did a great breakdown on how The Motley Fool converts cold traffic to paid subscribers:

Whilst most of us creators are aiming to build a lifestyle business than a big $200M a year business (as per Paul’s poll below), it pays to break down what’s working in the market.

The Motley Fool starts with a lead magnet, rather than a newsletters subscribe page (such as ours), with an offer to be sent stocks that are down and could rebound.

Then after you put your email in, you get hit with a FOMO inducing welcome email with a link to get a stock report. This takes you to a landing page where you can pay for premium access.
