Grow Your Subscriber List

Growing your text list is the foundation of everything else on Markit. The bigger your list, the more leverage you have to sell products, promote events, and reach your audience without relying on any algorithm. This page covers every channel available to you.

Instagram automations

The highest-leverage growth channel for most creators. When someone comments on your post, DMs you, or replies to your story, Markit can automatically reply and send them a signup link — converting your most engaged followers into text subscribers hands-free.

Set this up once and it runs on every qualifying post without any additional effort. See Convert Instagram Followers to Text List for the full setup guide.

Link in Bio

Your Link in Bio is always-on. Pin a Subscribe button at the top so anyone who visits your profile can join your list — even if they never comment or DM. Pair this with Instagram automations to capture both active commenters and quiet browsers.

Share your Markit number

Your Markit phone number is a direct subscriber entry point. When someone texts it for the first time, they're walked through your sign-up flow automatically via the Non-Subscriber Texts automation. Share it in your bio, your emails, or anywhere you'd drop a link. See Share Your Number for tips.

Forms

Forms let you collect phone numbers anywhere — embedded on a website, linked from a post, or attached to a product. Use them when you want to collect extra information (name, email, preferences) alongside the phone number, or when you need a standalone sign-up page outside of your Markit profile.

Custom URL

Your custom Markit URL is the cleanest link to share publicly — it goes straight to your subscribe flow. Drop it in email signatures, YouTube descriptions, podcast show notes, or anywhere you're sending warm traffic.

Tracking links

When you're running multiple growth channels at once, tracking links tell you which ones are actually converting. Use them to measure which posts, bio placements, or campaigns are driving the most signups, then double down on what works.

Meta Lead Ads

For paid acquisition, Meta Lead Ads let you collect phone numbers directly inside Facebook and Instagram without sending people to an external page. The phone number from the ad flows directly into your Markit list. See Run a Marketing Campaign for how to wire this up.

Putting it together

Most creators get the best results by running a few of these simultaneously rather than relying on one channel:

• Instagram automations for converting engaged followers passively
• Link in Bio subscribe button for always-on profile traffic
• Markit number in bio for direct text-to-subscribe
• Tracking links to see what's working

Start with Instagram automations and Link in Bio. Once those are running, layer in your Markit number and forms based on where your audience already is.
