List Building Is a Trade: Offer What Your Audience Already Wants

On Growth Notes, Frazier continues a discussion on list building, explaining it’s a simple “trade”: offering something of value in exchange for a person’s contact information to create a direct line outside platforms, stored in a hub like a spreadsheet, CRM, or marketing system.
