(JUST A QUICK NOTE - Since recording this episode, we realised that Mailchimp now charges for automations. This includes automated welcome emails. This is pretty sh*t to be honest because Mailchimp was the best free platform for beginners. We recommend doing your own research into email marketing platforms before you choose one!)

On episode 24 of Yes, I'm An Artist - We're chatting all about email lists! And why building your own is probably one of the best and most valuable things you can do for your business.

Your favourite Social Media platform could disappear at any moment, or you could be locked out of your account with little to no help on getting back in. Imagine losing all of your followers and people who actually care about your art...
That's why you should be collecting emails from the people who love and appreciate what you do! So you can stay in touch on your terms and actually own your own audience.

We are not experts on this subject by any means. In fact, we're both only at the very beginning of what we could be doing with out email lists. That's where this episode comes in! We are going through everything - Why it's so important for your business, some different platforms you can use, how to get started, what to include, lead magnets and nurturing sequences (I know, fancy right?) But it's all really not that complicated and you can easily build your own! Remember - Done is better than perfect and there's no better time to start collecting emails for your list than now!

We hope you enjoy this episode and get so much value from it.
