Hey,
Let me explain something most people don't understand.
Followers are rented attention.
Email subscribers are owned attention.
Instagram can change the algorithm tomorrow.
They can ban your account.
They can decide your posts only reach 5% of your followers.
You have zero control.
But email?
Nobody can take that away from you.
When you have 10,000 email subscribers you can reach all 10,000 whenever you want.
No algorithm deciding who sees your message.
No platform between you and your audience.
This is why I obsess over email list building.
My Passionate Income newsletter has 75k subscribers.
That's 75k people I can reach directly.
Compare that to 1 million followers where maybe 50k see my posts organically.
The math is simple.
I'd rather have 10k emails than 100k followers.
Because with those 10k emails I can:
● Send daily value directly to their inbox
● Promote products without paying for ads
● Build actual relationships
● Not worry about algorithm changes
● Own my audience
This is why every single story I post funnels people to my email opt-in.
This is why every bio link goes to a lead magnet.
Followers get you attention.
Emails get you money.
Focus on the emails.
Talk soon,
Arnas Gintalas
