Email marketing is ... 1) building a list of people who want to hear from you, 2) sending them occasional emails, and 3) using that to boost your side hustle. Unlike other channels where you have FB likes or Twitter followers, here you have the contact details (email) of your customer — you own the list. In this 46th episode, Keishi & Yuriy run you through the basics of email marketing and also argue about... "should everyone do it?"
