How can I grow my email newsletter list when I'm just starting out on social media?

Start by building your social media following to a modest number—100 to 200 followers is enough. Once you reach that threshold, run a giveaway to encourage sign-ups. This is an effective way to convert social media engagement into newsletter subscribers. The key is setting a realistic goal (even 10 or 20 contacts to start) and focusing on consistency rather than huge numbers right away.
