I’m not going to blow smoke at you. Building an email list from scratch without a working budget is hard. A lot of people I’ve worked with fall for the hype of "easy money" stories.
You can do it, but it’s going to cost you either money, time; or both. Here’s the way I’d approach it if I were starting out fresh:
First things first, let’s chat about why email marketing is so important for your business. There are plenty of reasons, such as the fact that email is one of the most direct and personal forms of communication with your audience.
It also allows you to nurture your leads and build relationships with your customers, while remaining a cost-effective way to reach a large audience. Plus, you can use email to promote new products, sales, or special offers and track the success of your campaigns.
Now that you understand why email marketing is important, let’s dive into the steps to creating an email list. The first step is to choose an email marketing service provider.
There are plenty of options out there, including Mailchimp, Constant Contact, and Aweber. These services let you make and manage your email list, design email templates, and send out email campaigns.
Just think about price, ease of use, and features when choosing an email marketing…
