Your followers belong to a platform. A change to the feed, a lost login or a quiet month can put a wall between you and them. An email list is the people who said "yes, write to me", and your email reaches their inbox whatever the feed does that week.
Five lessons. Most of what they teach works with any email tool. Where Postfjord helps today, the lesson says how: collecting addresses in Instagram and Facebook DMs, keeping them on the contact, and handing them to the tool you send with. Postfjord's own email, with signup forms and campaigns, is in testing and not open to every workspace yet.
When you finish: a free offer, three places that ask for the email, a welcome email written, and a sending rhythm you can keep.
