Have you ever been restricted from using the social media? or your site banned by the search engines? Getting banned either by the social media or search engines means that the only way you can get traffic to your site is through your email subscribers. Having an email list gives you an upper hand when it comes to controlling who visits your site and when. There several reasons why a blogger or business person needs to start building an email list now as enumerated below:
How to get started with Building an email list
For you to start building an email list, you need an email service provider to collect the emails and to send people emails from. These emails include automated emails where you write once and set it up to run on autopilot or broadcasts which you write and send immediately to many subscribers. I recommend GetResponse because it is easy to use, affordable and they have trial offer where you can use and test their services free of charge.

Informative post! I have an email list on one of my sites and not the other. Both are fairly new, so I didn’t think it was important. You’ve given me some things to think about.
Hi Kim, thanks for your insightful feedback.

Hi, thanks for visiting and for the positive feedback.
I've been trying to grow my email list for a long time. It's sometimes get discouraging.
Hi Eileen, don't worry, it takes time to build a list.
I’m always so bad with this, after reading your post, I should really have a closer look at this
Hi Lana, am grateful for your visit.
Building an email list is essential to all bloggers!

This is something I need to find the time to work on. I appreaciate recommended service provider! There are so many out there, it's nice to have a place to start.
Thanks very much for your feedback.
Hey John, Cindy here.
It's great you have so many comments!
I'm using my Gmail for my subscribers. I have less than 50, so it's still do-able, yet, it's a pain to keep up with. Constant Contact is too expensive for me now. I haven't checked further. My email that comes with my WordPress site won't keep my link live when I email it. Gmail does.
I'm stumped as to how to make $$ as my site is all about clothing remakes done frugally. No selling. I haven't found suitable affiliates yet. Google Adsense turned me down, saying I didn't have enough content...tho, I have TONS of content!
Yeh, I know, I need to read your stuff. And I will. Any help would be appreciated.
Blessings, Cindy, DIY Bohemian
Hi Cindy, You can use Mailchimp, they have a free service up to 2000 subscribers. Making money on a blog takes time. Focus on building an audience. You can even sell your own products on your blog.
I am also trying to get some subscribers. But it seems to be difficult. I have designed some freebies but I have to really work hard on this one. Thanks for your tips John.
