I agree most bloggers don’t see the value in an email list. not only does it allow you to attract a certain group that is already interested, if done right it can be profitable in traffic and or money, depending on your goal.

I think, Yaro even though I really want to see what the big deal is about email marketing . . . I really don’t get it. I think it’s really for more advanced bloggers as you and others in your league.

I would think, seeing to it that there’s so much spam lately that you’re really going to have an email list that goes to people who really read their mail.

How long have I been on line studying about blogs – too long. and the topic of email lists is always there. undoubtedly the most important part of the blog. no list no money.
but now I am thinking with social media perhaps people are spending less and less time on email and more time on their social media so I am thinking doing a switch now – my email list is empty but my social media following is growing by day. Don’t you think that this is a clue for all of us bloggers?

Email Marketing is one way to “attain” blog traffic in the long run thus if you build an email list yourself, you’ll be doing yourself some great doing. However people don’t like spam and bloggers should only try to send at least 1 email to it’s list members rather than a lot. One other thing is that people like pictures. So your emails might convert better if you’d be sending out html emails.

@ Jason : even if you run an advertising business, email is still needed. You can promote your business via email. One no need to sign up, just need to be informed for you’re exist on the business.

Good luck

My business is advertising so I just need visitors not signups. If I can deliver the traffic then other sites will pay for ads on my site. However, if your selling a product then email marketing is a smart option.

I ignore a lot of emails that I signed up for. Of course, I might be in a small group but I think not. Probably, a lot of people cherry pick emails like they cherry pick blog viewing time.

Therefore, I don’t know for sure if blogging plus email would work. Perhaps it would work for a high demand product. However, in today’s economy it’s tough for any internet marketer.

Great post! I have to say I have been of the same mindset with email lists that you were when starting out with the blog! I will definitely have to take action after reading this!

It’s great to build a list but you have to understand first that list building only works if you can drive traffic to your website.

I think one of the reasons why many don’t start email lists is because it feels like a lot of responsibility, like deciding to have children. They don’t want the responsibility of being an authority figure and having to be their for their new family every day, week, month etc. Of course what they don’t realize is that new little family will pay the bills.

Great post! To build a successful business I think you need both a blog and an email list.Placing the email opt-in form above the fold is a good idea.

Thanks for taking the time to explain, Yaro. It definitely helps. My wheels of thought are definitely in motion. It’s starting to click with me that this is an important tool and bloggers need to wrap their own individuality into creating a successful email list campaign.

I have tried my best in email marketing. I even setup a newsletter service and planned to hire some experts, but it didn’t really take off. I canceled the idea after that. Maybe it is not my cup of tea.

I want to blog but im always wondering how long it is going to be relevant….I just question the relevancy in 10 years I just dont know if Blogs will still be a source of info in a decade? Anyone share this thought? I have my qualms but I still think there is chance of withstanding the test of time but its uncharted territories.

Great post!

Most of us are familiar with email marketing but very few are actually implementing this strategy with blogging.

Personally, I’ve been enjoying my small but growing email list. I send them thoughts and ideas that don’t make it into the blog. I’ve not made it too structured yet. I’ve been doing it more as a newsletter than what you are suggesting and what you do in your Blog Traffic Tips list. I might implement a “lessons by email” mailing list, or something along those lines.

Hi Mary,

Hopefully the video I released today will help you somewhat -

http://www.blogmastermind.com/video/

Bear in mind my strategy will not apply to absolutely every blog topic out there. There are some where a list won’t logically slot into the model currently followed.

However, I think at least 95% of the blogs out there could use an email list. Take your model train example. This person should start an email list and offer a 7 day email course as the incentive that presents how to begin collecting model trains.

- How to pick the right train for you and your house (depends how much space you have)
- What brands are good, what brands should be avoided
- How to source the cheapest prices for model trains
- The best magazines to read and conventions to go to

etc etc.

From there, the list could be used to sell model trains as an affiliate, or even as a retailer if the person goes so far as to start selling the product themselves.

Or, produce an ebook/report that can be sold for $27 or similar, that details, with pictures, how to set-up and install a model train in your garage.

All of this will work great with a blog and email list and thanks to the e-course in the list, the person can continue to deliver value over and over again, and make sales, without needing to keep writing new content to the list – the course just keeps delivering on autopilot.

I hope that helps to clarify.
