Great question! But definitely not. That’s the fastest way to get knocked off an email services providers list as everything will show up as spam. The best thing to do is create an opt-in of some sort: webinar event, free digital tool you create, asking people through social DMs if you can send them something, etc. Finding the right opt-in might take some time but will make all the difference in the long run. You could also ask partners or alliances in your industry if THEY could include a piece of content from you which at the bottom has a CTA to signup for Your stuff. Hope that helps!
Thank you, Tanya! Great and actionable advice. I’m a service provider primarily but now getting started with my newsletter and you have really dialled down my apprehension with the “how to” aspect of making it happen. Very helpful.
This is actionable. I want to know how to get emails to send my newsletter to. Should I scrape email address of people online?
