How do I grow my email list when I'm only getting about 500 subscribers?

Five hundred emails is a lot compared to zero—celebrate that achievement. Focus on high-value marketing activities that expose your work to new audiences: social media partnerships, giveaways with influencers or curators in your niche, and PR opportunities. Each of these can bring hundreds of new people into your funnel at once. For specific subject matter like nursery art, target parenting bloggers and family-focused social accounts. Do giveaways where you provide the product and they provide audience access. This costs you just the product itself but can generate massive email list growth.
