Getting Started With Email Marketing
Email marketing is perhaps one of the oldest digital marketing forms. Companies obtain the emails of their customers to contact them directly regarding relevant and in some cases exclusive, promotions. Some experts theorized that email would soon be replaced by social media as a way to reach potential customers. However, according to the Fourth Source website, 92% of internet users have at least one email account. That is, practically everyone has email unlike what happens with social media, not everyone has an account, which can difficult and minimize the reach and coverage of the desired segment. On top of that, there is a 5 times greater chance that a subscriber reads an email message than a Facebook or Twitter post.

If you are planning on starting a blog, whether you are doing it for business or just to share your personality with an audience, there are going to be a few things that you should watch out for. If you have absolutely no idea where to start, then you can go to Google and find plenty of different blogs that tell you exactly how you should start. YouTube has videos that will give you a step-by-step guide on how to get started on a blog. This is not what that is, I just want to give you a few warnings about things that you are going to run into. Most of these things are going to have to do with WordPress. The wonderful world of WordPress provides a plethora of different themes to start a blog. That’s not to say that it is always the best choice. There are a few concerns with using WordPress’s platform. Although they do offer a free service, it can quickly turn into something that you have to pay for. It should be noted that since WordPress is the most popular platform for powering websites on the internet, it will also be the biggest target for security risks.
