Building an Email List

Let’s talk about email list building, or more specifically, why you need to build an email list in the first place.

More…

It doesn’t matter what form your online presence takes – be it blogging, creating video content, running an online store, or growing a presence – any online business can benefit from having a list and focusing on increasing your subscriber base.

The Importance of Building an Email List

What makes it so unique? It gives you a chance to talk directly to your audience. You don’t have to wait for them to come to your Blog or login into Instagram to see your content, message, and offers.

Building Your Email List

Most importantly, though, email marketing converts better than any other form of marketing, and it’s the main reason why all your other marketing efforts should focus on growing and expanding your list.

In other words, the menu allows you to make a living from your online business. And it’s also a safety net. Let me explain.

Things happen. Facebook decides to close your account, your website may get hacked, and much of the content is lost; search engines may one day decide they no longer love you and stop sending you free traffic.

Murphy’s Law holds right, even on the web…. Anything that can go wrong will eventually go wrong. But if you’ve focused on building a list, you always have a way to recover.

Plus, you have a chance to get to know your readers better. You can build a relationship with them through the daily or weekly emails you send them (as well as their replies). You start to build trust with your audience.

Why Lists are Important

Email List: Why is that important? Because once you have earned that trust, they will gladly take you up on the offers you sent them via email.

And provided you treat your email list well and share great stuff, it’s sustainable.

You can make suggestions for things they want and need repeatedly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need an email list?

Having an email list is essential for many reasons, but it is not necessary to have one right away.

You will eventually want to have an email list because it will play a massive role in helping to make your business more successful.

You can decide when it is the right time to start your own email list for your business, but remember to start one at some point because it will be a valuable asset and business-building tool for you.

How do I make an email list for free?

Making an email list for free can be done quickly, but you won’t be able to keep it free once you reach a certain number of subscribers. Two options can be used for starting a free email list, which is MailerLite and MailChimp.

Both of these options will allow you to start a free list of up to 1,000 subscribers, and then you will have to pay a monthly fee to keep and grow your list.

Each of these options will give you all the tools needed to grow your list to 1,000 subscribers, but as your list grows, the tools you will need will also grow.

So, find the option that will initially give you what you need but will also provide you with what you need as your list grows.
