FAQ
Questions, answered
- Why build a waitlist before launching?
- A waitlist gives you warm, interested buyers to sell to the moment doors open, which concentrates sales into your launch window and improves conversion.
- How are the emails captured?
- The DM asks for the follower's email, checks that it looks valid, and adds them to your leads list, which you can export or sync to your email tool.
- Can I give waitlist members early access?
- Yes. Because you captured emails with consent, send the early link or special price from your own email tool before you open to your wider audience.
- When should I start building the waitlist?
- As early as you can. Start capturing interest weeks before launch so you reach doors-open day with a warm list, which gives your launch momentum from the very first hour.
