and automation tools without a lot of resources to implement.</p> <p>In this week’s episode Darrell and Nathan dig into email marketing from beginner to advanced, including:</p> <ul> <li>Nathan’s early views on digital marketing and why his core values haven’t changed</li> <li>How to build your audience (the right way)</li> <li>Why “Teach everything you know,” and “Work in public,” are still Nathan’s mottos</li> <li>The right time to build a product or sell something to your email list</li> <li>Why email is still the central hub for building your business</li> <li>And best practices for cleaning your list</li> </ul> <h3>The Show Notes</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://copyblogger.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Copyblogger.com</a></li> <li><a href="https://nathanbarry.com/"
