Keep your audience informed

Read Nick's story“Email is one of the best things you can do because you now have a list of people who have opted in and said, 'I want to hear from you. I want to hear about your products. I want to hear about your resources. Please let me know what's going on.'”

Find new opportunities
Brandice uses her email list primarily for publicity. She’s gotten email replies with opportunities to be featured in magazines, speak on panels at incredible events, and connect with celebrity stylists looking for particular designers.
Read Brandice's story“We've gotten big opportunities from emails...I didn't know I needed an email list. I didn't know I needed to email people. I didn't know. And then Pat Flynn kept talking about it over and over and his guests kept talking about it over and over, and that was when I said, ‘Okay, I need to do this.’”
