Hey,
Instagram stories are the most underrated tool for building your email list.
Most people post random stories hoping something sticks.
But there's a formula that converts 40-50% of viewers into email subscribers.
I call it the 3-slide story funnel.
Slide 1: Grab Attention
Hit them with something that stops the scroll.
A bold statement.
A question that resonates.
An eye-catching visual.
The goal is to make them actually read instead of tap through.
Slide 2: Ask a Question or Build Curiosity
Now that you have their attention create engagement.
Use a poll sticker.
Ask them to DM you a keyword.
Make them interact with your story.
This signals to Instagram that your content is valuable.
Slide 3: Call to Action
Direct them where you want them to go.
Link in bio to opt-in page.
DM automation that collects their email.
Swipe up to free training.
This is how I drive thousands of email subscribers monthly.
All from stories that take 5 minutes to create.
The key is understanding it's a funnel not random content.
Every slide has a purpose.
Attention → Engagement → Conversion.
Master this and you'll never struggle with list building again.
Talk soon,
