How to Do Email Marketing Properly

If you are new to email marketing, consider using a free mass email service. You can try Amazon Web Service for email marketing, but it is expensive. I suggest you try MailChimp which is free as long as you send emails to less than 2000 people. MailChimp is a popular email service.

Email marketing can be effective only when you are sending emails to the people who actually subscribed to your products and services. If you are sending emails to a random guy, your email will land in a spam box. When your email goes into a spam folder, there will be no sales. In order to succeed with email marketing, you need to first build an email list of genuine subscribers. You also need to design beautiful marketing emails that not only contain information on your products but also some valuable information that your subscribers might find interesting and useful. The key to becoming successful is sending the email to the right people.

First of all, you need to build an email list. There are different ways to collect email, for instance through your website, through surveys, by asking people to sign up for your newsletters, by collecting emails from your customers, etc. Once you have built an email list, you need to sign up email service. If you use MailChimp, you can send up to 2000 emails for free. Once you have signed up with the email service, you need to design your email, you need to not only dd your products and services but also information that your potential customers might find interesting.

How to Become an Influencer and Do Influencer Marketing

Influencer marketing is the best way to make money from home, however, it is really difficult to reach the status of an influencer. There are three ways to become an influencer:

You need to become a popular figure: If you are a popular figure (a celebrity, an actor, a musician, a socialite, a media person, etc.), you can easily build a fan following on any platform of your choice. 

You need to become a high-quality content creator: If you are a common person, the only way you can become an influencer is by creating high-quality content. Creating high-quality content requires excellent content creation skills as well as a lot of creativity and productivity.

You need to spend money: If you do not fall under the aforementioned content creator, you will have to spend money on ads to build followers. Some people buy followers but this is not a good idea.

If you have something to promote and you are not an influencer, you should consider working with an influencer on your niche. You should consider working long-term with your infleucner. You should consider making your influencer marketer your brand ambassador. Influencer marketing is one of the most effective methods to drive traffic and generates sales for your business.

What is the Most Effective Digital Marketing Channel

I have tied marketing websites, apps, eCommerce stores, affiliate products, blog content, video content, etc. through different kinds of digital marketing channels. However, I find Search Engine Marketing very effective for digital marketers. Search Engine marketing means running ads on various search engines so that your content/product appears on the paid search list (in the ad section of the search engine result page).
