Email Marketing: List Buliding Overview
What you'll learn
This course is invaluable to anyone creating a website to promote their product or business. (Rob Delaporte)
It's easy to get lost with Email Marketing. Who knows it better then someone that started up a new company (my first company) just 3 years ago. You can bet I made some mistakes even with my background in Advertising and many award winning sites I've created over the years. After a few good years running my own lists I figured its time I share with you what I've been learning in these years.
In our first course on Email Marketing we will focus on Creating your first List using MailChimp. By the end of this course you will have your own list of users and know how to import users and more over then that how to create your own submission forms, use the built in MailChimp forms and even learn how to add a submission form into your Blog on WordPress. So see you inside.
