Done For You Blog Says: I personally know several well-known online marketing people who feel their greatest mistake was not starting an email list earlier. So if you’re just starting out with your online business, you’ll be off to a good start by learning more about email marketing right from the start. I’ve also seen many screaming headlines over the years that “email is dead!”, and yet it’s still just as strong today as in years past. Don’t believe that for a minute. It’s still one of the best ways to stay in touch with your customers and still one of the easiest tasks to do.
