Based on what email marketing is, you might want to learn how it works for any online business out there. If you’re trying to build a mailing list for the first time, where do you get started?
The most flexible way to get rolling is by following the three steps below sheepishly.
Step 1: Get More Traffic to Your Blog, Website, and Social media pages
One of the maiden steps to building your mailing list is to concentrate on increasing traffic to your blog and website by focusing on a specific specialty audience.
If you don’t actually have the right vision for your blog or website, it’s going to be more complex for you to grow your mailing list.
To boost your traffic, you could:
- Connect with online influencers or passionate people in your specialty
- Frequently publish & share posts on social media
- Implement SEO best practices when you write content (focusing on Pinterest and Google)
- Submit quality guest posts on authority blogs
- Stay active in and/or contribute to social networking communities
It isn’t a must for you to have a precise number of targeted readers, visitors or multiple followers on social media to get rolling with email marketing.
It’s highly recommended by the pros that you start expending on building an email list as soon as possible so you can really build an engaged niche audience on a network that you continually own.

What is the best email marketing app? Does most people use MailChimp that is recommended? or do others use something else. I am looking into starting an email list.
Thoughts?

Hi, I use Aweber and have found that Aweber is a good solution to start out with, because of their free plan.
I have tried Getresponse and Convertkit, which are good tools too. But they will charge you each month, they don´t have a free plan.
Among the three, I find Aweber the easiest to use as a newbie.

Hey Derek, thanks for visiting! Going by the rules here at WA for creating training, blog posts or comments as stated in the resource below, it's allowed that a link may be posted so far it is not intended to sell anything but just out of the act to help someone. If you check the links to MailChimp and ConvertKit that I posted, you'll find that they contain no affiliate links at all but are meant for readers who may want to set up their email campaigns using MailChimp or ConvertKit as suggested in the training. Spam is a NO NO! And if you check the rest of the other links used across the training, you'll find that they are all incoming internal links that point my readers to certain helpful and related resources within WA, not links that link to external sites at all. An example of such links is found in very many of the training that I've created so far in this community which Carson has approved for me in the past. An example is a resource below: How to Examine Any Webpage Using SEOquake Also, pay particular attention to "Rule 4" of the resource above which categorically states that a link may be used out of the act to help, not to sell. So, check properly all of the links I used in this training if any contains spam, affiliate or referral link and kindly let me know while I also forward this to Carson and Kyle to help look into this as well.
Thanks for your contributions!

Hey Derek, how are you there? I've just brought to you my findings from Kyle on the issue of posting links on the WA blog or elsewhere within the community.
As I mentioned in my first response to your comment, links can be posted according to "Rule 4" of the "Spam is a No-No" resource, not with the intention of selling anything to anyone at all, but with the act to help someone.
I asked Kyle himself shortly after I received your comment on this tutorial and the response from Kyle is found in the image posted below stating that links can be used within WA so far it's complementary to the particular training.
The second aspect has to do with the use of links pointing readers to external sites or tools, not with intention to sell, but with the act to help, though Kyle added one thing saying such a link may not be used once it's asking people to pay but can be posted here at WA once it's a free tool or site. With respect to this explanation, I unlinked ConvertKit because it doesn't offer free plans for users.
But, there is nothing like posting spam links at all in any of my training resources as you referred to in your last comment. Thanks so greatly for your contributions, friend!

Not at all, my friend! You tried to straighten me lest I went against any posting rule unconsciously. This is something that I really appreciated because I saw the mind with which you did it. So, Derrek, I remain grateful. Please, rock on in the online world. Look forward to seeing your future accomplishments!
