About the Course

Hi there, and welcome to Email Marketing - Build Your List. Here we are going to look at the different ways you can start building your contact list – and things you can do right now. A good place to start is by having a look at some of your favourite websites and using an analytical eye to see how each one tries to persuade visitors into joining their email database. This is a great practice to do each week with a few different websites and keeping note of what you like and dislike.

We’ll examine a few of your options, including using database acquisition tools, landing pages and pop-up builders. You’ll also learn how to craft your own lead magnets (or freebies) to draw viewers in by offering an incentive in return for their email address. By the way, if you’re interested in Instagram, we’ve got a great ebook you can download for free, just head to our website and pop in your email address J.

You’ll also be learning about a controversial, yet effective part of email marketing – cold emailing. Whilst conversion rates are low, it’s a numbers game, and if your volumes are high enough, you can see a worthwhile return on investment.

What You Will Learn

By the end of the course you will be able to: 

  • Start your email list by leveraging your CRM and other assets
  • Understand CAN-SPAM and GDPR compliance and its impact on your email marketing activity
  • Identify locations to capture email addresses on your web pages
  • Create lead magnets and write persuasive copy to maximise your conversion rate

If it wasn't for Social Media College I wouldn't be sitting where I am today: owning my own successful business and making my work life fit in so seamlessly with my family and personal life. So thanks SMC, I couldn't have done it without you.

I wouldn’t have been able to achieve the results I have without knowing what to do. Social Media College gave me all the foundations for that. I couldn't have set up my agency without SMC. I would still be in my job. I probably would have had a stroke by now from high blood pressure! I have to pinch myself every day now. I'm really stoked.

I’m building a business which has more and more demand every day and I’m really lucky that I can work it completely around my family. SMC gave me the structure and confidence to present to clients.
