Notes from Chris
Episode 1642
Today’s listener just got her website up (whoo hoo!) and now she’s wondering about the next step: which company to choose for her email list. Why is this important? As soon as possible, you want to be collecting email addresses from people who might want to hear from you—whether it’s a topic you’re writing and sharing about, or with updates and potential deals on the products you’re selling.

Communication matters! But does it matter which company you use for your email list?"Hi there Chris, this is Becca from LA and I’ve been listening to the show for a couple of years now.

Once I have it set up, what do I actually do with it—just add a form on the site and hope that visitors sign up?
