Email marketing is one of the easiest ways to grow business online and keep in touch with valuable client(s).

A challenging aspect, of email marketing is growing quality mailing list. There are two basic characteristics of a mailing list: size and quality.

A valuable asset an internet marketer can have is a large email list of responsive subscribers. If you’re running a site that’s generating traffic you may want to shy away from banner ads and instead build a super-valuable asset: a list. There is the need to harvest their email addresses and organize the list and ensure it’s easy for subscribers to opt-out.

To build an email list of responsive subscribers who open your emails, click on the links, and trust your recommendations, it is advisable to create value, incentives or freebies. This can be very easy if you own a blog but if you don’t, you can also generate your list by organizing free events, conducting surveys on related fields whereby you can get people emails voluntarily.
