3: Building an Email List

Building an email list and communicating through email is one of the most important parts of running an online business. The goal is not to accumulate as many people as you can, the goal is to build relationships with people who like and trust you and want to learn more from you. The number of people on your list does not matter, it is all about building quality connections for the long-term. Every person on your list should be valued and always treat your email list with the utmost respect and deliver as much value as possible.
