Build Your Email List Before You Think You Need It.

I started the Ready Set Go! blog to encourage and inspire people to go after their dreams and live a passionate, purposeful life. It’s not a writing blog even though I’m a writer. That said, according to every marketing guru, if you want to build a business, brand, or marketing venture you must concentrate on building an email list, even before you think you need it. A successful list is the only way to let customers or clients know when you have a new product or service to offer.

You’re probably thinking; What if I don’t have a product or service on my horizon? What do I mail my list? I don’t want to annoy potential clients. How do I engage and entertain without alienating them?

I found the answer in an article by Tim Grahl; What Do I Send to my Email List? By providing my email, I also accessed a wealth of resources about nearly any other topic a writer can use. Since I’m currently revamping my website—take a hop over there if you dare, to see how desperately mine needs an overhaul—I clicked on another training about what writer’s should include on a website. Very helpful trainings available, which I look forward to perusing after I create my bigger and better website of course.

Did you look at my current one? Isn't it hideous? With social media like Facebook and Twitter making writers so easily accessible do you even check out websites anymore? Do you buy from websites or go directly to Amazon?
