Welcome to the blog millionaire, where we break down the essential strategies of today's most successful bloggers

to take your blog to the next level with top-notch content, monumental traffic growth, and multiple revenue streams to go beyond your wildest goals.

So get ready to blog like a pro and make your traffic explode with your host,

whose blog gets more than one million visitors every single month, Brandon Galey.

My name's Brandon Galey and welcome to episode 115 of The Blog Millionaire.

In this episode, I'm going to share a growth hack that will cut your email costs in half

or just keep them at zero.

The email service that I use and the one that I recommend is MailChimp.

While Convert Kit is just as good and has a few more bells and whistles, MailChimp offers a free service.

The free service allows you to have up to 2,000 email subscribers, which you can send 12,000 emails to per

month. That means a list of 1,000 can be sent 12 emails a month, or a list of 2,000 can be sent 6 emails a month.

For most new bloggers, this free email service will carry you through the first year or two of blogging.

Those first two years, you want to keep your costs nice and low so that you

can invest your money wisely in the things that will make the biggest difference. Whether you

are trying to stay under 2,000 subscribers to keep your email fees at zero or if you have a

list of 10,000 and are wanting to cut your cost, I have a great growth hack that you should add to your arsenal.

It is called the no open list purge hack.

Unfortunately, most bloggers fall in love with the number of people on their list.

I used to be the same way. I just wanted to build

and build my list until the number was as high as it could be. When I started building my list,

I dreamed of getting to 10,000 subscribers. When I got to 10,000, the dream changed to 25,000. And when I

got to 25,000, the dream changed again to 100,000 email
