There’s this myth that you need a website to start building and monetizing an email list.
It’s very untrue because most of the leads in my email list did not come from my website. They aren’t connected to my website in any way.
I always say, if something is holding you back from starting, just get started before you get it sorted out.
I’m about to share with you a business model you can start working on TODAY without a website and start reaping the benefits once you get it set up.
Tools You need
- A domain name to create an email address.
- A lead magnet.
- An Autoresponder.
- A social media account.
These four things are very important, they will allow you to attract people to join your email list, host that list, build a landing page, and most importantly send emails that can reach to the inboxes.
