Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight

To grow your email list, you don’t need a ton of traffic. In fact…you don’t even need a website. It’s true. I mean, you should have a website eventually so you can create content and add consistent value, but you could grow a huge, 5-digit email list with four simple tools:

- A landing page

- An opt-in offer or content upgrade

- The strategies I’m about to teach you in this guide....

No matter what industry you’re in, you always look at the top-dogs and think, “Man, I wish I had their resources.” Hundreds of employees. Thousands of social media followers. Millions of dollars in budget. It seems like they can do everything better and quicker than you.

But when it comes to email marketing, a lot of times it’s they who envy you. For example, did you know 26% of the most well-known sites don’t even send a confirmation or welcome email? Guess they didn’t want those new subscribers to stick around, anyways.

That’s why I dug into 106 of the top sites (most visited, biggest fan base, hot risers, etc) across the biggest industries on the internet to see what was really going on in the world of email marketing....
