What Is Email Marketing
It consists of creating a list with names and email addresses of people interested in a specific topic or product through a subscriber request form or opt-in.
When people enter their data in the subscriber request form, it permits you to send content and promotions to their emails. This permission is important.
We want to begin to build trust and a close personal relationship between potential clients and ourselves, and we want to follow the laws and rules around email marketing ethically.
Email marketing is and will continue to be one of the most effective evergreen income strategies.
Find a market with a need, grow your list, build a relationship with your readers, and then make them offers for things they need.
A big part of email marketing is consistency. You have to stay in your readers’ minds, and they have to learn to trust you.
Once you become a reliable source of information, it is much easier to convert your readers to clients.
The goal is to get subscribers on your list, introduce yourself to them, and provide them with the information and tools they need; sprinkling offers along the way.
