Build and Grow Your Audience in 2025

One of the biggest growth strategies I used was collaboration marketing. Instead of struggling to reach people on my own, I partnered with other authors and entrepreneurs to share audiences and grow together.

This strategy led to the creation of Paper Crowns Volume 1, a collaborative book project designed to help authors build their brand, grow their audience, and establish credibility. Participants in this project don’t just publish a chapter in the book—they also get tools to turn their chapter into a lead generator, build a website, create a funnel, and gain marketing support.

By leveraging collaborations like this, you can tap into existing audiences and grow your email list faster than if you were trying to do it alone.

Want to grow your list quickly? Here are three strategies that helped me:

#1-Create a Valuable Lead Magnet

People are more likely to subscribe to your email list if they get something valuable in return. A lead magnet is a free resource that provides immediate value, such as:

• A free ebook or checklist
• An exclusive webinar or training
• A downloadable guide or template
• A bonus chapter from your book

For Paper Crowns Collaboration authors, we turn their chapter into a lead magnet—helping them attract more readers and potential customers.

#2-Set Up an Automated Sales Funnel

Once you have a lead magnet, you need a way to convert visitors into subscribers. A simple email funnel can do this by:

• Capturing email addresses with an opt-in page
• Sending an automated welcome email
• Following up with valuable content, insights, and offers

At Paper Crown Media, we help authors set up funnels that connect readers to their website, social media, and email list, ensuring steady growth.

#3-Leverage Social Media & Partnerships

Your email list can grow even faster when you use social media and collaborations to drive traffic to your opt-in page. Some powerful ways to do this include:

• Guest blogging or being featured in a collaborative book
• Being a guest on another author's podcast, or inviting them to be a guest on yours.
• Hosting Instagram or Facebook Lives with other authors or influencers
• Sharing lead magnets on Social Media Platforms

By partnering with others, you can reach new audiences and grow your list exponentially.
