they’re first starting out. That said, most people change their minds when they see the impact email lists can have on someone else’s traffic and revenue.</p> <p>Over the years, we’ve built an extensive email list on WPBeginner and our other brands. It helps us share useful tips, the latest news, upcoming sales, new product features, and much more. You can also create an email list for your site.</p> <p>In this article, we will share the top reasons why building an email list is important (with real case studies) and show you how to start building your email list step by step.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="550" height="340" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='550'%20height='340'%20viewBox='0%200%20550%20340'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="Why building an email list is so important" class="wp-image-58458 perfmatters-lazy" title="Why building an email list is so important" data-src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/whybuildemaillist.png" data-srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/whybuildemaillist.png 550w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/whybuildemaillist-300x185.png 300w" data-sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="550" height="340" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/whybuildemaillist.png" alt="Why building an email list is so important" class="wp-image-58458" title="Why building an email list is so important" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/whybuildemaillist.png 550w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/whybuildemaillist-300x185.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></noscript></figure> <p>In this beginner’s guide, we will cover the following topics:</p> <div class="wp-block-aioseo-table-of-contents"><ul><li><a href="#aioseo-what-is-an-email-list">What Is an Email List?</a></li><li><a href="#aioseo-why-building-an-email-list-is-important">Why Is Building an Email List Important?</a></li><li><a href="#aioseo-social-media-vs-email-marketing">Social Media vs. Email Marketing</a></li><li><a href="#aioseo-what-experts-are-saying-about-building-an-email-list">What Experts Are Saying About Building an Email List</a></li><li><a href="#aioseo-what-you-need-to-start-building-an-email-list">What You Need to Start Building an Email List</a></li><li><a href="#aioseo-choosing-the-best-email-marketing-service">Choosing the Best Email Marketing Service</a></li><li><a href="#aioseo-growing-your-email-list-and-getting-more-subscribers">Growing Your Email List and Getting More Subscribers</a></li><li><a href="#aioseo-list-building-strategies-and-resources">List Building Strategies and Resources</a><ul></ul></li></ul></div> <p>By the end of this article, you should have answers to all your questions about building an email list.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-what-is-an-email-list">What Is an Email List?</h4> <p>An email list is a special list of names and email addresses of people who gave you permission to send them updates and promotions from your business.</p> <p>You can build your email list using <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/best-email-marketing-services/" title="Best Email Marketing Services for Small Business">email marketing software</a> and <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/what-is-an-email-blast-how-to-do-an-email-blast-the-right-way/" title="What Is An Email Blast? How To Do An Email Blast “The RIGHT Way”">send an email blast</a> to everyone with your blog updates, online store, or other business services.</p> <p>We recommend using <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/constant-contact/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" title="Constant Contact">Constant Contact</a> or <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/brevo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="Brevo">Brevo</a> to get started.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-why-building-an-email-list-is-important">Why Is Building an Email List Important?</h4> <p>According to <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/research/marketing-statistics-trends-and-facts-updated/" title="Marketing Statistics, Trends, and Facts (Updated)">marketing statistics,</a> email marketing on average sees a 4400 percent return on investment (ROI) for businesses in the USA.</p> <p>Because email subscribers joined your email list from your website and verified their identity by clicking on a link (double optin), they are extremely interested in what you have to offer. This is why they are more likely to convert into paying customers.</p> <p>In our business, an email list gets 10 times more conversions than social media campaigns.</p> <p>This makes sense if you think about the reasons that make email an incredibly powerful communication channel:</p> <p><strong>1. Email Is Personal</strong></p> <p>Email allows you to land in a user’s inbox. There is no ranking system limiting your reach. It is very direct and personal.</p> <p><strong>2. Email Is Purposeful</strong></p> <p>To get updates from you, a user fills out a form to sign up for your <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-build-an-email-list-in-wordpress-email-marketing-101/" title="How to Build an Email List in WordPress – Email Marketing 101">email list</a> and confirm their email address. Someone doing this much work is obviously interested in hearing from you, and they are much more receptive to your message.</p> <p><strong>3. Email Is Targeted </strong></p> <p>As we mentioned earlier, the user has already shown interest in your product or content. Since you already know what they like, you can deliver them highly relevant offers to get better results. This is called segmentation, and we will cover it later in the article.</p> <p><strong>4. You Own Your Email List</strong></p> <p>You do not own Facebook, Twitter, or Google. Your social media campaigns and SEO efforts can go to waste when these platforms change their policies. On the other hand, you own your email list, and it is not influenced by the decisions of other businesses.</p> <p><strong>5. Email Is One-on-One</strong></p> <p>People read emails in the privacy of their inbox. The message is not on a public timeline or newsfeed. This way, they can ask you questions directly and privately with confidence. This helps build trust and connection.</p> <p><strong>6. More People Use Email Several Times a Day</strong></p> <p>You may have heard that Facebook has 2.9 billion and Twitter has 217 million daily active users. What you may not have heard is the number of people using Email every day.</p> <p>Every internet user has at least one email account. There are <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/research/internet-usage-statistics-and-latest-trends/" title="Internet Usage Statistics and Latest Trends">over 4.5 billion email accounts registered</a> by internet users worldwide. That’s over half the population of Earth.</p> <p>This is precisely why every smart business in the world has an email list.</p> <p>Big brands learned this lesson a long time ago, and that’s why they spend thousands of dollars on social media campaigns to get people to sign up for their email lists.</p> <p>They understand that email marketing is the best long-term investment with a much higher return because people will continue to get their message at a very low cost for a longer period of time.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-social-media-vs-email-marketing">Social Media vs. Email Marketing</h4> <p>Now you’re probably thinking, wait a minute. What about <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-use-social-media-to-increase-email-subscribers-in-wordpress/" title="How to Use Social Media to Boost Email Subscribers in WordPress">social media</a>?</p> <p>In fact, we have been asked several times isn’t email marketing is kind of dead with social media taking over everything.</p> <p>The best way to answer this question is to look at the information Twitter and Facebook ask you before you create an account:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="550" height="270" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='550'%20height='270'%20viewBox='0%200%20550%20270'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="Enter email address to create a Facebook account" class="wp-image-265248 perfmatters-lazy" title="Enter email address to create an account" data-src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/facebook-sign-up.png" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="550" height="270" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/facebook-sign-up.png" alt="Enter email address to create a Facebook account" class="wp-image-265248" title="Enter email address to create an account" /></noscript></figure> <p>Yup, it’s an email address.</p> <p>These companies know that emails are the most direct and reliable way of getting in touch with their customers.</p> <p>Even if you sign up using your phone number, they will keep asking for your email address to help you find friends, password recovery options, and most importantly, to send you targeted email messages.</p> <p>Here is a view of the social tab in a typical Gmail user’s inbox.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="550" height="253" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='550'%20height='253'%20viewBox='0%200%20550%20253'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="Social emails" class="wp-image-58453 perfmatters-lazy" title="Social emails" data-src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/socialemails.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/socialemails.jpg 550w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/socialemails-300x138.jpg 300w" data-sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="550" height="253" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/socialemails.jpg" alt="Social emails" class="wp-image-58453" title="Social emails" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/socialemails.jpg 550w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/socialemails-300x138.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></noscript></figure> <p>All these emails are from big social media platforms, so they can engage you with the content on their platform and get you to visit their app or website again.</p> <p>All social media platforms are building an email list because they are smart business owners. This helps their valuation when selling their business.</p> <p>While social media is a great way to reach your audience, it’s important to keep in perspective the timely nature of social media platforms.</p> <p>They come and go.</p> <p>Not too long ago, we had MySpace, FriendFeed, Google Buzz, Plurk, and countless others. Most of them are either dead now or irrelevant.</p> <p>Today, we have Facebook and Twitter, which are prominent, but not everyone enjoys these platforms. Some people prefer Instagram, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Snapchat, LinkedIn, etc.</p> <p>Basically, your users are all over the place on different platforms. However, studies show that <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/research/marketing-statistics-trends-and-facts-updated/" title="Marketing Statistics, Trends, and Facts">99% of consumers check their email on a daily basis</a>.</p> <p>We are not saying that social media is not important. It is, and you should explore every opportunity to reach your audience.</p> <p>However, you should spend more time and effort on something that guarantees higher results.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-what-experts-are-saying-about-building-an-email-list">What Experts Are Saying About Building an Email List</h4> <p>Don’t take just our word for it, listen to what all top marketing experts are saying about email marketing:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>Out of all the channels I tested as a marketer, email continually outperforms most of them.</p> <p>– Neil Patel – Crazy Egg and QuickSprout</p> </blockquote> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>Getting an email address is the first critical step to figuring out who my reader is, and hopefully in the future, my customer of some sort.</p> <p>– Joe Pulizzi – Founder Content Marketing Institute</p> </blockquote> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>If you’re not building an email list, you’re making a HUGE mistake.</p> <p>– Derek Halpern – Founder Social Triggers</p> </blockquote> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>Email is the most predictable driver of growth and sales in our business.

Often, beginners use the free option to save costs, which is understandable. However, some of these free platforms are not the best. Why?</p> <p>Some platforms mislabel themselves as “email marketing service” when, in reality, all they offer is a free blog subscription via email. This allows your users to receive an email update every time you publish a new blog post.</p> <p>But that’s not true email marketing. Here are some of the downsides of using a free blog notification service:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>You can’t send out private <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-create-an-email-newsletter/" title="How to Create an Email Newsletter the RIGHT WAY (Step by Step)">email newsletters</a>. To send an email, you will have to publish a new blog post, which means that the information you want to share will have to be publicly available first.</li> <li>You can’t personalize the email message. It will be delivered in the same format, often with no branding or personalization.</li> <li>You can’t categorize subscribers by interests, demographics, or content type.</li> <li>There is no reporting. You don’t know how many people got the email, what percentage of users opened it, and how many of them clicked on your links.</li> <li>If you later try to move to a paid service, your users will have to re-confirm their subscription. Many of them will not do it, and you will end up losing subscribers.</li> </ul> <p>This is why we ALWAYS recommend using a professional email marketing service right from the beginning.</p> <p>Yes, they cost a little bit of money, but they are an investment in your business that pays huge returns.</p> <p>The benefits of professional email marketing services are:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>You can send private mass emails to your subscribers.</li> <li>You can see subscriber activity and group your subscribers based on actions they take.</li> <li>You can run A/B split tests to see which email subject line, content, and offers work best with your subscribers.</li> <li>With reporting tools, you can see which country you have the most subscribers from. You can adjust your time zone preferences and send emails at the right time.</li> <li>Last, but definitely most important, you can see the email addresses of all your subscribers.</li> </ul> <p>There are hundreds of professional email marketing services available. To make it easy for you, we have compiled a list of the <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/best-email-marketing-services/" title="Best Email Marketing Services for Small Business">top email marketing services</a> based on ease of use, cost-effectiveness, features, and performance.</p> <p>For small businesses, we recommend using <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/constant-contact/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="Constant Contact">Constant Contact</a> because they are one of the largest email marketing services in the world.</p> <p>They offer a 30-day free trial.

They are both very popular among business owners, and they come with free trials as well.</p> <p>Once you have signed up with an email marketing service, the next step is to add opt-in forms to your website to allow your users to subscribe.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="aioseo-growing-your-email-list-and-getting-more-subscribers">Growing Your Email List and Getting More Subscribers</h4> <p>Did you know that more than 70% of visitors abandoning your website will never return? It’s true, just look in your <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-install-google-analytics-in-wordpress/" title="How to Install Google Analytics in WordPress for Beginners">Google Analytics</a> and look at the percentage of new vs returning visitors.</p> <p>That’s why you need to convert every website visitor into an email subscriber before they leave, so you can send them relevant messages to bring them back.</p> <p>An average internet user spends just a few seconds looking at a website. This gives you very little time to engage them. If your email signup forms are not noticeable, then users will leave without ever subscribing to your website.</p> <p>The biggest mistake that we see beginners make is not strategically placing high-converting opt-in forms.</p> <p>Some WordPress themes come with built-in sidebar widgets, but they don’t convert as well.</p> <p>Your email marketing service may also provide you with codes to embed in your theme, but that requires you to know how to code.</p> <p>This is why we recommend our users to use <a href="https://optinmonster.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="OptinMonster">OptinMonster</a>.

OptinMonster allows you to automatically show different opt-in forms based on where the user is coming from, which page they are visiting, and what they are doing on your website.</p> <p>For example, the <a href="https://optinmonster.com/features/exit-intent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Exit-Intent® feature in OptinMonster">Exit-Intent® feature</a> tracks your users’ mouse behavior and shows them a targeted opt-in form at the precise moment they are about to leave. This helps you convert abandoning visitors into subscribers.</p> <p>That’s why influencers like Michael Hyatt, Neil Patel, and Social Media Examiner use exit-intent on their websites. It helped Social Media Examiner add over 250,000 new subscribers in 7 months.</p> <p>Nicolas Gagne, a small business owner, combined <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/constant-contact/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" title="Constant Contact">Constant Contact</a> with a single exit-intent optin to grow his email list by 500%.

I am in the process of starting my own music YouTube Channel and would love to begin with building an email list right from the start..<br /> I am not a business selling anything yet but for MailChimp I have to give a business address that will be shown in the newsletters. I dont wanna give away my private address as well but how can I still legally (with the opt-in and everything) collect email address and be able to send newsletters? Would you still recommend MailChimp for strategic purposes or do you have any other ideas?<br /> Thanks a lot!!<br /> Hope</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply"><a rel='nofollow' class='comment-reply-link' href='#comment-329016' data-commentid="329016" data-postid="17565" data-belowelement="article-comment-329016" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to this review" aria-label='Reply to this review'>Reply<svg width="11" height="11" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false"><use xlink:href="#regular-level-down"></use></svg></a></div> </article> <ul class="children"> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-noumaancomment odd alt depth-2 staff" id="comment-330207"> <article id="article-comment-330207"> <header class="comment-header"> <p class="comment-author"> <span class="comment-author-name"><a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/" class="comment-author-link" rel="external nofollow">WPBeginner Support</a></span> </p> </header> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Please contact MailChimp support.</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply"><a rel='nofollow' class='comment-reply-link' href='#comment-330207' data-commentid="330207" data-postid="17565" data-belowelement="article-comment-330207" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to this review" aria-label='Reply to this review'>Reply<svg width="11" height="11" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false"><use xlink:href="#regular-level-down"></use></svg></a></div><div class="comment-admin-badge"> <p class="comment-badge">Admin</p> </div> </article> </li> <li class="comment even depth-2" id="comment-350132"> <article id="article-comment-350132"> <header class="comment-header"> <p class="comment-author"> <span class="comment-author-name">JM</span> </p> </header> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Hi, Hope.
