[Nomad]

E-mail marketing is a very effective marketing method, however, most of the people who dive into email marketing do not succeed because they do not have an email list with a lot of subscribers or even when they have their list do not have genuine subscribers. The first step of email marketing is building an email list. If you want to do email marketing and want to learn how to build an email list, the following tips will help you:

1. Know Your Audience: Figure out who you want to reach. Without reaching your audience, you cannot get their emails.
2. Offer Value: Give something in return, like a discount or free resource to encourage the audience to subscribe to your list
3. Create a Sign-Up Form: Use email marketing tools to make a sign-up form.
4. Promote the Form: Share it on your website and social media. You can even do an email exchange, ie. offer something in return for signing up.
5. Give Incentives: Offer reasons for people to join.
6. Engage Subscribers: Keep them interested with useful content. Your email needs to offer value to your subscribers.
7. Grow Continuously: Find new ways to collect emails.

One method not mention is building a huge social media following and then collecting emails from them. Anyway, I wonder if more money can be made from an email list from a social media following, or just from the social media following.
