Why Build an Email List?
Hey everyone! Welcome to lesson three. If you followed along with lesson two, you should have your website domain all set up by now. Today, we’re all about building your email list. So, why is this so important? Here are a few key reasons:
- More Sponsorship Opportunities: As your list grows, companies in your niche might reach out to sponsor your content. This is a fantastic way to earn income from your blog!
- Sell Directly to Your Audience: With an engaged email list, you can easily promote your products or services whenever you have something new to offer.
- You Own Your Audience: Unlike social media platforms (where you can potentially lose access to your followers), you fully own and control your email list.
- Drive Traffic Back to Your Blog: Each time you send an email, you’re giving readers a reason to come back and check out your latest blog posts.
Important Note: A strong and engaged email list is valuable, especially as it grows. Keep building those relationships over time!
Using GetResponse with WordPress
Let’s make this easy! We’ll use GetResponse to manage your email list and connect it directly to your WordPress site.
- Start in GetResponse: Head to the ‘Integrations and API’ section, where you’ll find the WordPress integration ready to go.
- Grab Your WordPress Plugin: Download the GetResponseWordPress plugin.
- Upload to WordPress: In your WordPress dashboard, go to “Plugins”, click “Add New”, and then “Upload Plugin”. Follow the prompts to install the file you just downloaded.
- Generate Your Connection Code: Go to the “Users” section in WordPress. Add a new application password and copy it – you’ll need this in a second!
- Link it All Up: Back in GetResponse, paste that code you copied along with your username and website address. Click “Connect” and you’re done!
