George, Looking for an Affordable Email Marketing Platform?

Hi George,

Daniel Scocco here, and this is the Daily Blog Tips newsletter.

As you probably know, one of the most profitable assets you can
have online is an email list, as it represents the most efficient
and direct way to reach your audience.

Despite this fact, however, whenever I ask people "How is your
email list doing?" half of them reply they don't have one
yet. The reason? Usually it's the cost associated with email
marketing plans.

If you are in this same situation I have two tips for you:

1. Start your email list as soon as possible, as the sooner you
start it the sooner you'll have a decent number of subscribers.

2. Check out an email marketing platform called SendInBlue.com, as
they offer top notch services (including SMS delivery) and their
cost is much more affordable than what you would expect.

Just to give you an idea: you can send up to 9,000 emails per month
with a free account. This means you can get started building your
list without spending a dime.

Once your list grows you'll be able to send 40,000 emails per
month for only $7 monthly. Not bad huh?

Here's the link where you can get all the details and signup
for a free account to start building your list:

https://www.sendinblue.com/?utm_source=dailyblogtips&utm_medium=fee&utm_campaign=dailyblogtips

What are you waiting for?

Talk to you soon,
Daniel Scocco

The three worst mistakes bloggers make ... BEFORE they start blogging

Have you started your blog yet?

If not, you might be at risk of one of these five major
mistakes.

As editor of DailyBlogTips, I see a fair few new blogs sprout up,
and I hear from a lot of new bloggers through comments and emails.
These mistakes are all easy to avoid, but they're ones I see too
many people making.

Let me run you through them so YOUR blog can get off to a
brilliant start.


**Mistake #1: Waiting For the Perfect Moment**

This one's such a tempting mistake to make.

After all, you want your blog to succeed, and that means
making sure you're ready. Perhaps you've been reading DailyBlogTips
and ProBlogger, and Copyblogger, and a bunch of other blogs) for
months now, trying to take in as much information as you can.

Maybe you're waiting for life to be less busy. Maybe you're
waiting for inspiration. Maybe you're waiting until you feel ready.

The truth is, you'll probably never feel 100% ready. There'll
never be a "perfect" moment to start your blog. And by waiting
longer, your end goal (perhaps making a living blogging) just gets
further away.


**Mistake #2: Only Thinking About the Money

While I'm all in favour of earning money from your blog --
it's definitely nice to eat and pay the rent! -- I see too many
bloggers who ONLY think about the money.

It takes hard work and often a bit of time (think several
months) to build up a blog and business that brings in a steady
income. If you choose a topic purely because you think it has good
earning potential, you're very likely to quit after a few weeks.

Instead, choose to blog about something that genuinely
interests you. That way, your posts will be engaging and authentic
... and you'll be much more likely to actually make some money.


**Mistake #3: Choosing the Wrong Blogging Platform**

There are a huge range of different blogging platforms out
there, and when you're new, it's tough to know which to go with.
Back when I launched my first "pro" blog, I nearly made the serious
mistake of using Blogger.

While Blogger is fine if you're just blogging for fun, as a
hobby, it's not a particularly good platform for building a
professional blog that'll be the cornerstone of a business. Instead,
you want to use WordPress (preferably self-hosted, from
WordPress.org, but the hosted version at WordPress.com is an OK
alternative).

I've seen so many bloggers talk about being held back by their
platform -- so don't make this mistake. Yes, it's possible to
switch, but it's much easier to get it right from day one.


==================================================================

1. The Three Times You Need to Step Away From Your Keyboard 
   While I'm a huge fan of blogging, I also strongly believe there are some times when you shouldn't write a blog post, send a tweet, or update your Facebook page. Blogging can be a great way to work through a question or issue you're facing in your life. Many bloggers find that writing about something […]

   Wouldn't it be great if there was one super-fast guaranteed way to grow any blog quickly? Well, let me break it to you: there's not! (And you shouldn't believe anyone who tells you there is.) However, there are plenty of tried and tested ways to get more traffic — targeted traffic rather than uninterested passers-by […]

5. Should You Have One Blog or Several if You're Interested in Multiple Topics? 
   One question that I get from a lot of new bloggers is this: I'm interested in lots of topics. Should I have just one blog or several different blogs? The quick answer: it's best to focus on one blog, and that blog should have a clear focus. I'll explain a bit more about why that […]

1. Top Resource: WordPress Glossary, by WPBeginner 
   When I started blogging, I quickly found there were loads of strange words that I didn't really understand.

   Are you the sort of blogger who works best with music blaring, or in total silence? Perhaps you're not sure yet. I know I've flip-flopped over the years about which I prefer. On the one hand, music can be a bit distracting (especially if you have a tendency to sing along) but "silence" usually means […]
