Growing @presentincome: From Followers to Email Leads
Nicolas Palermo
Case Study: How I Grew @presentincome to 140,000 followers and 1000+ emails per week
The Goal
I wanted to see how big I could grow a page while also capturing emails. The goal wasn't just followers, I wanted a list of people who would actually buy my digital products.
The Strategy: Posting 3 Times a Day
Most people think posting too much is bad, but I found that posting 3 times a day is the fastest way to figure out what works and grow faster.
By posting three times a day, I had three chances to go viral and stayed on people's minds.
The Conversion System: ManyChat
Views mean nothing if you're not capturing emails. I added ManyChat to every post. Instead of telling people to "click the link in bio" (which nobody does), I made them comment a word.
Someone comments a specific word.
ManyChat automatically sends them a DM with a link.
They give me their email and get a free download or product.
The Results
1,000+ new emails every week without doing anything manually.
Consistent sales of digital products to that email list.
More reach because all the comments from ManyChat made Instagram think my posts were popular.
