Hi Marion, I need to build up my email list, but don't know where to start. My customers are business owners themselves ( my website is spa consultancy helping the spa owners).
Is it ok to find their email addresses myself through their websites and just manually email them with an offer or introduce myself? Is this okay to do this to a business just once, or is or seen as spamming them?

Hi there, as a marketing manager, I get literally dozens of those emails a day, they all go to spam. It's not the best way to go about things, but certainly, people do it.

What would you recommend for starting from scratch?

You have a great niche because there are a number of very targeted keywords you could go after that only potential customers would be searching for.
If it was me, I would get my website up to a point where it looks presentable, say around 30 pages or so, then I would start with Google AdWords.
Send traffic to landing pages that are designed to capture an email address, start collecting the email addresses, and then set up automation campaigns in GetResponse or similar.

There is a super affiliate here who makes it to vegas every year, has no auto responder and does not collect or ask for emails. He strictly promotes WA and uses only SEO. Never uses paid ads.
His website IMO looks like shit.

Found this out on chat one day when he was in Vegas

But, I know nothing about how to make money online because I haven't made a dime in 2 years. Good for him for cracking the code. Thanks for the tips

Thank you for sharing this as I am very tempted to do what this super affiliate is doing as I hate setting up accounts and I dislike setting up and figuring out things with the companies that collect emails. Even it they have trainning I am always suspecious that something is not working right. I guess this triggers paranoa.

Hi Marion, this is excellent! I went through every page and it's the best tutorial I have seen so far especially how easy it is to understand :D I appreciate also that you left us the link for the free products. I'm with Benchmark though already (it's not a plugin)

Thank You :D

Hi Marion, have you done training on autoresponders? I tried MailChimp but found it very difficult to work out how to send out bulk emails. Your training is always first class and easy to follow so I hope you can do some on using autoresponders and which one you prefer and why.

Thank you so much for this training Marion.

I now have an opt in widget on my site thanks to you!

Very much appreciated and I will recommend others to this training.

Trying to figure out how to make it a bit more attractive so it stands out, do you know if there is training on this? For the Songwriter theme. I have looked and will look some more but thought you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks again Marion, this was really a SAVER! ;)

Best regards,
Kamil

Thanks for going through the tutorial Kamil. Design is such a huge subject I can't think of any specific training to recommend. Perhaps the best advice I can give you is to look at what other bloggers are doing, especially the big name bloggers, and use that for inspiration.
