What's the best way to start to collect my own email list ?

Collecting email addresses is an important part of  marketing and should be began  as soon as possible .

Having the email addresses of your clients and potential clients means you can let them know when you have new offers on your services or products or when you might be having a sale . 

To collect emails from a brick and mortar business you could try any of the following methods -

Try having a sign-up form at the front desk or ask each customer after they have made a purchase if they'd like to be notified by email of any new promotions or tips to help them get the most from their purchase . You might even set up a request form for this on your  receipts .


To collect emails from your website you could try one of these methods -

Have a signup form on your site and put it in an obvious place . This generally  means "above the fold" on your site , so your visitors can see it as soon as they land on your site and before they have any need to scroll down . A signup form , once set up, will not require any further maintanance from you.

To get people to sign up , offer them something for their trouble .  It could be a  coupon , a report on how to do something , even a quiz to see if they'll qualify for something, or just about anything that can be sent automatically ,of try too make it a digital product , such as a pdf or winrar file .
