    It takes a while to learn the basics, longer still to get quite good at it, and a looong time to master it.

    I suggest you go and invest in some books. They're great for newbies to learn the basics.

    But just to give you some idea, the great thing about email marketing is that you can get in front of all your prospects whenever you want. Plus, it doesn't matter how many people you have on your email list (a list of email addresses willingly given to you by their "owners") because all you've got to do is write the one email, press send and you're done. Meaning you're only limited by the size of your list.

    Run paid ads on Facebook and Google to send traffic to your website. On your website, you need to have opt-in boxes in place, which are those boxes which allow people to type in their email address. When they do so, they will be added to your list.

    I then strongly suggest sending daily emails to your list. Trust me, it works. I do it and my clients do it, all to great effect.

    However if you are doing daily email, then you must make sure every email you send provides both value and entertainment. If they don't, then clearly sending emails this regularly will just annoy people.

    But if you do it right, then this strategy should see you make plenty of sales (providing you've got an attractive offer and a receptive market).

    Anyway, my friend, that's a very basic overview. I mean, I'm currently writing a book about this very topic and I'm currently on word number 9452... so clearly it would take far too much time for me or anyone else in this thread to tell you anywhere near everything you need to know.

    But like I say, study hard.

    Be patient.

    And practice by implementing what you learn straight away. It's the best way to learn.

    Hope this helps.

    1 Build your email List: choose the source you need and wisely the target.
    If you dont know how, better going to solo ads, cause the people are just targeted

    2 Choose a giveaways CORRELATED to what product you are goin to sell later.

    3) set up an email sequence WISELY: first type in the subject "Hey, here there is your [name of giveaways]", introduce yourself and WRITE what are you going to deliver as a value
    in the next emails: otherwise there will be no reason why your prospect has to open the next ones.

    4) Email EVERY DAY. you can only sell more.

    5) Deliver value which is correlated to the product you will sell later. Alternate promotional email to content emails.

    6) Do not be afraid of promote your product: in fact promotional emails are opened more than content, as a statistic

    First you need to get subscribers to your email list. You can do this by placing a newsletter sign up in your website or sign up for giveaway.

    Second, use aweber, mailchimp or similar software that can do email marketing.
    Third, compose your email regularly informing your subscriber about your niche info, updates, product discounts and promotions, interesting trivia and so on.
