What is email marketing, and who is it for?
As a small business owner, you learn how to juggle. And if you’re a solopreneur, you might be wearing all the hats in your business. You’re a marketer, an accountant, a saleswoman, a graphic designer, a social media specialist – and of course, an expert of your trade. Who has time to learn more?

You’ve got mail.
With email marketing, you can send your own customized, automated messaging to dozens – even hundreds – of people on your very own subscriber list. Unlike personal email services like Gmail or Yahoo!, the email platforms we recommend won’t limit you to a certain number of recipients – meaning the sky is the limit in terms of your marketing
reach. (More on those platforms later.)Email marketing is permission-based, meaning the people who receive your email newsletters have to opt in first. When presenting your “pitch” to these potential customers, you’ll want to explain to them why they’re receiving your emails, how often they should expect to see you in their inbox, and how it will benefit them as a consumer.
Think about it. You don’t open an email that doesn’t have something in it for you, right? Most likely, you delete it without even reading past the subject line. Keep this in mind when crafting your marketing messages. Are your newsletters giving your subscribers something they don’t already have? Something they need – crave, even? The people who subscribe to your email list have done so willingly, giving you permission to their already filled-to-the-brim inboxes. Don’t take this for granted!
Hungry for more? This excerpt is only a small piece of our Guide to Email Marketing – chockfull with tips and tricks, our recommended platforms, and email marketing pitfalls to avoid a recipe gone wrong.
