You've spent countless hours building your community on Facebook only to have the social net change its algorithm and gut the reach of your posts. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could email those Facebook fans instead? You could use a widgets to ask for email addresses or you can try this simple hack.
This netted the folks at GrowthHackingIdea the email addresses of 80% of their Facebook followers.
TIP: Make your first email to these addresses an invite to sign up or at least add a prominent “Opt Out." If you do not, you will likely be in violation of your email provider's “Terms and Conditions." Adding an incentive, like a free download, will greatly increase your “Opt Ins."
