According to a 2014 survey of 1,000 web-based businesses, email marketing has the highest ROI of any marketing channel. Surveyed companies attributed an average of 23% of total sales to this single channel, and these results are hardly isolated. Anywhere you look nowadays, you’ll see that email marketing is more profitable than ever.

Too many blogs are plagued by hit-and-run visitors. These are people who come, read your article, and then melt back into the ether of the internet. As much as we love to see spikes in our website visitor analytics, post views are actually useless. Unless those visitors do something – buy your course, follow you on Twitter, join your email list – even a large traffic spike will leave you back in the same place a few days later.

Is it just me, or are email lists having a huge moment right now? Yes, newsletters have been around for ages, but it seems that recently, it’s becoming the norm for everyone to have one. And for good reason. If done well, newsletters have the power to grow your income, authority, and community in a way unlike almost anything else.

If you’re not building an email list, you’re making a HUGE mistake. Back when I ran ad-based websites, I thought to myself, “why would I EVER want to build an email list?” I didn’t want emails. I wanted pageviews… because more pageviews meant more ad revenue TODAY! To put this in perspective, had I built an email list, when a publicly traded company approached me to buy out my blog, I could have asked for 7 to 10 times MORE money than they originally offered. How dumb, right?

You’ve probably heard the phrase “the money’s in the list”. That old adage applies to blogs as much as it does a software as a service or an eccomerce business.

This step-by-step guide will show you how you can turn more of your blog’s visitors into subscribers without turning people off.
