Using Facebook Challenges To Grow Your List: Interview with Mariah McCullough - PPP: 049

Today I'm talking to Mariah McCullough. When I met her, we were sitting in a workshop and she was talking about how she created a list of 0-6000 just by doing an online challenge. No bells and whistles, no frills, no gimmicks, no major tech stuff. She just put it out there and it manifested into something wonderful. She was doing this while being a mom and while working a full-time corporate job. She is now using that list to build some residual income. I know that a lot of us who are listening to this show are also trying to tap into the "build your tribe" space and while listening to Mariah I thought that she had a really unique way of doing it. She also did it from a very authentic,  a very real, and a very non-agenda-y (how am I going to make money? How am I going to make sales?) kind of place, which I feel a lot of us can get caught up in. "What if I don't make any money on this? Is it worth it? What if I don't get anybody to sign up? Is it worth my time?" And sometimes when we just do things organically and just because we love it, the abundance comes to us anyway.
