We know email marketing is a must. But when you’re just starting out, how do you get people’s addresses?
…more importantly, how do you get email addresses for free?
Anyone can throw money at the list-building problem and get results (short-term though the results may be). But there are other, arguably better, options. With a little time, work, and creativity, anyone can build a strong email list.
It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’re helping one listener get their email marketing off the ground — without spending a dime on paid ads.
In this episode, we share a few specific ways you can leverage assets you already have (plus a few ways to leverage other people’s assets) to fill your contact list with interested potential leads.
