You're listening to the My Wife Quitter Job Podcast,

the place where I bring on successful bootstrap business owners

and dig deep into what strategies they use

to grow their businesses.

Now today I'm happy to have my friend Chandler Bolt on the show.

Chandler runs self-publishing school where he teaches

other people how to make a living selling books online and today he's going to teach

us how he does it. But before it begin I want to give a quick shout out to Privy

who is a sponsor of the show.

Privy is the tool that I use to build my email list for both my blog and my online store.

Now there are a bunch of companies that will manage your email capture forms, but I like Privy because they specialize in e-commerce stores.

And right now I'm using Privy to display a cool Wheel of Fortune pop-up.

Basically a user gives their email for a chance to win valuable prizes in our store.

And customers love the gamification aspect of this.

And when I implemented this form, email signups increased by 131%.

Now there are other cool things that you can do too.

So for example, let's say you offer free shipping for orders over 100 bucks. Well, you can do too. So for example let's say you offer free

shipping for orders over a hundred bucks where you can tell Privy to flash a

pop-up when the customer is $90 in their shopping cart to urge them to insert

one more item. But bottom line, Privy allows me to turn visitors into email

subscribers, which I then feed to my email provider to close the sale. So head on over to
