I agree. Even though social media is getting huge, email is still where it’s at. Email still gets me solid conversion rates that are far higher than all of my social media traffic combined

Good luck with Further, Brian.

One of the better “you need a list” posts out there!

Not sure I love the dog analogy either, its just weird. I am on a few email lists, I hope those owners don’t think of me as a dog! Just saying…

Hello Brian,

Great article, I need to start making an email list for my blog, but I’ve been so busy with content and research that I haven’t had the chance yet.

Next month I might try to start to build my email list, once again thank you for the tips!

In reply to Charlice. I think it's just a chance in perspective -- you create content to build the list. It's not two separate things.

Hello Brian, thank you for the excellent post.

The greatest problem I have now is maintaining an email list with my blog. The hassle of producing content takes enough of my time that I usually don’t have the time to pursue list.

Maybe I’ll have to look around and see if there is a guide for busy people who want to build their own list.

Great, thanks Brian!

I look forward to the one where you walk us through how to approach building the email list.
How does one do this without buying those underperforming FB ads when starting from 0?
At the beginning, don’t we have to interrupt some people who don’t know us yet, but we’re sure we’d get along great with, in order to get to the anticipated permission marketing part where we deliver great content to people who care?

Brian, Your content is top notch and your unemployable podcast is one of my favorites. I never miss an episode!

This is a great article which deserves another read.

Thanks again

Hi Brian,
I didn’t realize Twitter engagement is that low. I am currently testing it myself, getting a few clicks per tweet, which is at least something. I do notice Facebook is getting more clicks per post than Twitter.
My fear with starting a newsletter is the constant pressure of sticking to the schedule, along with actually having something to publish. But same goes for social, and seeing these numbers, I should really think of a better newsletter strategy.
Thanks, Jacco

No doubt emailing your subscribers is a sure way to get traffic to your site. But getting people to sign up for your newsletter is one thing especially these days. It seems people are already getting tired of putting their emails on every sign up form out there.
Still worth the effort though.

Hi Brian

How long do you recommend webmasters to wait before promoting through email. I have had newsletters with 200 plus sign ups that have come in at a trickle over several months. The only thing I have emailed them is digests about posts at my site.

Open rates are about 45%. Is that enough level of engagement to believe that my audience could be sold to.

Thanks
